I didn't realize Pokémon was in such a demand until the other day I was at GameStop and they had some behind the counter. They only let the guy in front of me buy one box.

I posted about this a couple of weeks ago. I saw at my Target one Thursday night a bunch of people camping out. There were signs up all over the place that said something like, "For the SAFETY and SECURITY of our employees, Pokemon Cards will only be given out Friday mornings." So there were a bunch of people camping out for these cards for over 12+ hours. I did not see these signs or campers a month ago. So what is going on with Pokemon? I did not think it was still a thing? Did Target employees get roughed up over these cards?

Damn! That turned ugly. I believe there was a misunderstanding, on my part, on the purpose of this thread. I initially thought that this thread was going to be made up of hunters only to help out the entire Hisstank community and if we were to find a Major Bludd, that we would not sell at scalpers prices, only what we pay plus shipping.
When I posted the Major Bludd, I bought, in the Classified 2021 thread and saw LionHeart, not only immediately took it upon himself to claim it in that thread but came and claimed it in this thread. That's the part that I misunderstood. That's the part that I was not aware that we could do. In my opinion I found that to be a bit selfish, but Hey that's my opinion. I don't agree when we help other people out as a group that one of the other group members feels is necessary when someone finds a figure and they immediately jump up and shout, I CLAIM IT!!! So after it was explained that the people on the list are both hunters and gatherers then I thought that the person who finds a Major Bludd gets to choose whoever they want on the list to sell it to. It still never said that we can jump up and "claim it". So with that said, I'm going to back out of the group. As I said in my first post, I do this for all Tankers anyways. I don't sell at scalper prices. I also at times give my findings away to fellow Tankers. As I continue to find and buy more Major Bludd figures I will still make the Late Night Crew members and the people who I already have in my PMs priority, then I will start choosing people who are on the list here. Now with me saying that the Late Night Crew members are priority I'd like to point out that, eventhough LionHeart took it upon himself to add the Late Night Crew logo in his sig, he's not a member. He is purposefully doing that to troll us. And the Narc Hunter below his profile name is there to purposefully troll me because he knows that I report trolling to both Destro and SilverOptimus. Alot of people here know this so it's no secret. I've been doing this for quite sometime. So I'm still going to help out the community as a whole, the Late Night Crew, the folks in my PMs, the folks on this thread's list, except for the trolls. I will not help out the trolls.

I don’t blame you one bit. You do so much behind the scene for this site no one will ever know. All good deeds. He did the same in my giveaways. He’s just another narcissist who when not trolling, turns victim. We’ve got quite the list going nowadays. But hey buzz buzz right?

I guess it makes some sense due to the pandemic that people would be stuck at home and looking for things to do. I think my son just likes trading with his friends at school. I don't even think they actually play the games.I don't know what cards are good, I know Charizards are supposedly, and I know characters only from the video games he has and the movie, but it kind of sucks to see another kids thing that might be getting ruined by scalpers and speculators. I've been a to Targets since, and I make a notice to look at the card section and besides some Magic cards they're always empty. No one likes Magic? In fact, one Target just spread out their gift cards on the pegs so at least it isn't just an empty section. I guess we should count ourselves as lucky we actually found any cards that night. I haven't seen any since. So that was my recent Pokemon experience. I don't collect the six inch line, the Cobra Island stuff turned me completely off from even trying. It was nice of a company to give me a reason to not even bother. If I ever come across Bludd I'll pick him up for anyone here, though at my Targets it seems like if you don't wait around for the store to open you aren't getting anything. I actually stopped going to them mostly, but with the Clone Wars figures coming out I'll probably stop in a little more often now.

Ok so with everybody blocking people, how will those people being blocked that are on your list be helped? How will others on the list be helped when those blocked find them and try to reach out to nothing? All of these rules about posting this and that, why isn't there a rule where you remove a blocked party from the list? Won't do any good to leave them on the list anyway if no one can contact them or be contacted by them.
I asked for my name to be removed. So did Sbartek. As of this minute our names are still on the list, and I know of a few instances where we are among the blocked. Good luck finding your Bludds. Even better luck finding your Bludds after trolling and pissing off the group of people who could help the most. Oh and blocking them too. I can't promise finding one or any, but feel free to reach out if you want to be on a troll free list. We will do our best to help as many people as we can.

To add on to the Pokemon cards selling out conversation, I too have seen nothing but bare shelves in the Pokemon card section. I used to collect so I decided to check the prices of individual cards and was greatly surprised to see just how much the prices have risen. It's crazy!
