2018 was 5 packs. 2019 was 4 packs already.

I've still got 5 megas from 2019. Anyone pull a big Wander or a Wander auto from those? I might just keep stashed but getting the itch. Thank you

Pretty much this. I get what the OP is doing in posting the link and trying to be helpful. But all you do when you post a link is ensure that all those on here that use bots (and there are several) can just fire up their bot with a link and be ready to go when this releases and the rest of us that try and do it the fair way won't get any.

that ship sails once Target posts the item.

static SKU listing kills any chance of beating the bots long term.

might sneak in a a few but hard to beat an automated program.

Think we need to look to The Matrix for some inspiration. Per Morpheus, "I've seen an agent punch through a (Captcha) wall; men have emptied entire (F5 keys) at them and hit nothing but air; yet, their strength, and their speed, are still based in a world that is built on rules. Because of that, they will never be as strong, or as fast, as *you* can be.".

They just stocked one on Lake Pleasant yesterday afternoon with Bowman, so there is hope. That one seemed unstocked for several weeks

1. You know everyone and their mom have been searching constantly for the product link to go live.

2. While you played by the rules, I don’t think a lot of people would consider you ordering 396 Mosaic blasters two weeks ago “fair”.

Sure. But feeding the botbois only makes it worse.

Sure. And that's fine, I can live with that. I still don't think it's anywhere near as unfair as the botbois that get unlimited bites at the apple. I got one lucky shot and I took it. Don't feel bad about that at all.

Simply not true... I would NEVER spend $10,000 on sealed wax. I also would NEVER buy product with the express intent of just reselling it. If I’m not collecting it then I’m not buying it.

I didn't spend $10K. I spent $8,500.

My express intent isn't just to resell it. And I am in fact collecting it. I collect unopened boxes and cases and have these all sitting on a shelf in my office. And they will more than likely be there a long time.

Well most people would..especially basketball collectors if they could afford it. Me..yeah I would buy all i could within my budget bc im a collector and basketball is hard to come by..also mcwildcats collects unopened wax..there is a subset of collectors who do that...hes not flooding the market trying to make a quick buck like the typical people that get their hands on online retail

So what if he does sell them, he paid for them, they’re his and he can do what he wants with them. He’s not doing anything illegal. Why does everyone on these forums have an issue with people making a profit.... it’s ridiculous

Why is it not fair? Because he got boxes and you didn’t?

You wouldn't have made a point to make that comment if you thought it was fair. The way you started your comment does not make up for how you ended it.

I made the comment because I found it ironic that he was complaining about how someone posting a link (which doesn’t matter) would make it tougher for people being fair to get their hands on some, when what he did wouldn’t be considered fair by everyone.

It’s no different than people who stalk the Excel and MJH reps so they can be there and get the product as soon as the box is opened. Nothing wrong with doing that, but a lot of people here have a problem with it.

Personally, I encourage all of this behavior. The more greed and money we can bring to the hobby, the better for my bank account and collection.

Once the link is active, the product is live. Now you’re just waiting for restocks.
