It was Wednesday last week. Could be Tuesday this week. Seems to be either T or W, just take your pick.

It will go on as long as hobby wax prices stay increased.

More than anything that’s what drove the people and flippers to retail. Hobby box price increased, singles price increased, retail wax secondary price increased due to demand. Increase the retail price and it will slow it some. Crash in the hobby box prices will kill it outright.

If they sent me Bowman Megas, I would have been happy, or if they refunded me the difference, but at $120 for 3 tins, that’s a steep price. Returned.

Yeah this whole flipping stuff won't go away until wax is affordable across the board.

People would rather pay $120 for a blaster because the alternative is paying $1k+ for a hobby box. A hobby box of Select is $1900 for crying out loud. Of course I'll pay $120 for a blaster lol.

This guys gets it...and wax won’t be affordable until production goes sky high bc of bots and people willing to get bodies and camp out.

Also the Target that still did random stocking with a 3 per sku limit put up signs this weekend. They are now Friday mornings, 1 total item per day.

Just spit balling here, if it's 1 total item, while it will take more time, can someone just drive to say 5 targets close to each other and still get a decent amount of product?

Yea but they would have to be reasonably close.

That Target is ~5 miles from the one I typically go to on Friday mornings that will be doing 1 per sku/3 total. So I will head to the 1 total afterwards and see if I can grab another box.

The way I see it, you won't get blasters unless you're early still, but hey you will have excellent chances at cello's/fat packs/etc.


I figure Friday as long as stock is the same, I'm guaranteed a Select cello. Would love a Blaster or hanger box.

This. People will just bring bodies. Not a lot changing.

I think wax prices could drop if the bubble pops. I was buying $10 blasters off of Steel City late in 2019. I bought Optic Basketball blasters at $15. Wax went up because of this boom.

Looking at the Target Redditt, Somone posted a fake sign that a flipper put up saying they will no longer sell cards. Simply amazing.

The reseller network is too entrenched into the system by now. They will claim all retail Select, Prizm and Bowman. Friday one item limits will only ensure the rest of us get some scraps.

It’s usually towards the middle/end of May. I would think this is early.
