Did Panini pull the countdown clock on megas?

Guess they're not flyin' off the reseller shelves @ $90/per, so Poopnini has to reign-back the horses for a lil' while. Once they see more movement on the secondary market, THEN they can list their Poopnini Direct Megas for a "steal"....@ [example] $69.99.

Product's been live (more or less) for 2 weeks now. Why in the world would their be ANY explicable reason for Poopnini to pull-the-plug,...a couple hours before they release, direct to public...?!!?

Quite simply because they're assh0les.

I certainly can't disagree with that one, Bobby! However, one would reasonably have to conclude that there MUST BE a...."ulterior motive"...behind their pulling-the-plug,...2+ hours before the scheduled, drop!

It can't be attributed to logistics; the product's, LIVE! It can't be (solely) attributed to incompetence!? We've been dealing with them for quite some time now?!? What else is there...??

EDIT: SRP @ WM was about $55/per. Flippers,..."easily" getting $70 a pop for 'em. Authorized resellers via WM are semi-stagnating @ $90/per. I heard that Poopnini was originally (today) set to release these @ $60 (might've been $65?) a pop. If I were a bettin' man (hint: I am!) I believe that it's simply a matter of 3rd Grade economics! Wouldn't surprise me, in the least...if Poopnini springs a price increase on their drop, and releases these next week @ $70-$75 a pop!!

People selling these in fb groups at 70 per shipped for lots of 20+. Almost makes more sense to just buy those vs running around wasting time and gas etc

$90 for a mega box is a card pass.

CircleTheWagon · 03-22-2024, 11:33 AM

Paying over retail for these is rough! The wemby pink ice is dropping by the hour…last sold $350.

It's also Wemby or bust with this product for the most part. So paying flipper prices with the low odds to hit anything worth pulling, is compound gambling.

boxbuster7 · 03-22-2024, 01:19 PM

Soon people will be paying you to take wemby cards

Anejo · 03-22-2024, 01:27 PM

Postponed till next week. Waiting to see what market prices are by then.

oldgoldy97 · 03-22-2024, 01:29 PM

I see there are hobby blasters?

bub838 · 03-22-2024, 02:12 PM

Yay?

Exactly. They weren't happy with prices this week.

Found a full stash of megas on the way home yesterday at Walmart. That’s the first time I’ve been in a Walmart for a long time, now I’m good for at least 6 months.

It's Wemby or bust. You got 3 parallels of Top 5 rookies and a Wemby base is worth more than any of them.

I'm shocked about the 1 in 5 boxes numbered cards, I didn't think it would be that good.

weatherwarrior · 03-23-2024, 11:34 AM

I picked up 5 megas at Walmart for my son and I. We enjoyed them. Two numbered cards, points and an auto was a nice surprise.

Does anyone know if Target will have the red ice megas this year? Are they just going to mysteriously appear one day and get scooped up by the bots?
