How is this even remotely close to the same thing? Walmart or Target if you're willing to put in the time you are guaranteed most places to get between something and to possibly a few thousand dollars profit. This drop was for a $9 pack that you had a 6% or so chance of getting. If you honestly believe at least 80% in the people in that line aren't bots I don't know what to tell you. It's gonna end up being like the odds of getting cards on target.com or walmart.com on the small releases of Top Shot packs in the future.

Based on what you post you would think you're the unluckiest person on earth. I know most people find me annoying. But even the vast majority of them would admit I'm complaining about life changing money. I complain on tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and now over $1 million dollars worth. You complain about literally a couple dollars.

"Look at me guys, I have money." Take a break from this thread, you sound miserable right now.

I'm not talking about the odds of anything. I'm saying flippers are willing to spend a ton of time stalking Walmart and target to get cards. They are going to figure out how to get in every Topshot queue as well. It's not hard. These are bots. You really think people won't click a button to join a queue just because the odds are low?

TFCNB · 03-16-2021, 06:18 PM

I can't believe I didn't see that drop, I missed it by 5 minutes, I spend a good chunk of my day on TopShot scoping things. There were only 9 LaMelo's available in this release, so slim odds on hitting one of those.

Front banner says 25k packs dropping at 5pm PDT. Think this is going to be the rest of the /15k LE's. Hopefully this doesn't tank the /7500 along with it.

Mahomescards777 · 03-16-2021, 06:21 PM

So drop starts at 5 how many packs per person

b2k1121 · 03-16-2021, 06:22 PM

Hopefully they can implement a queue block real quick for the 5k that just got a pack

I don't have money. I'm technically in debt. That's the problem. My take home salary from work was under $40k a year. So there is obviously a reason I'm complaining about money that I coulda made in a very short amount of time that was borderline retirement money that I'll now be lucky to make in 25 years.

It's just not a fair comparison. The vast majority are obviously bots for this. You think the guys going to Walmart and Target every day would still be going if their odds of getting product was 6%? Absolutely not.

The odds of getting cards and target and Walmart are far lower than any topshot drop. I've been trying to get 1 box for almost a year and have never seen any basketball or football products on the shelves once.

People are crazy for Topshot packs right now, they aren't bots.

Well I wish everyone in my area was like you. Because I would be a millionaire. The odds of getting cards at Walmart or Target less than 6% lol. Yeah I guess if you live in an area that everything is backdoored. There is no person that is willing to spend endless hours a day looking for cards at Target and Walmart that is coming up empty on a regular basis. Assuming all the product actually gets put out on the shelves obviously.

Just join the queue

Hopefully, they probably made this drop for the people who weren't allowed in the first drop.

drobfan8 · 03-16-2021, 06:49 PM

So there was a pack drop already?

I didn't get a notification.

But there's another?

It was an unannounced drop. Still 88k were in the que. 25k more released in 10 minutes.

NinxTC · 03-16-2021, 06:53 PM

Another Stress Test pack to drop in a few minutes.
