>>57983319 (OP)There are a lot of reasons that combine to create the perfect shitstorm that we are in
> tpci pandering to Normies by spamming KantoMons and Nostalgia baiting> Investors hoping on because of influencers throwing around stupid amounts of money> Scalpers abusing the low supply of product being printed> Bots scooping up everything that hits the web at lightning speed> tpci not printing to demand, keeping us in the dark, stating basic shit like 'we are printing more trust me bro'. All we really have to work with is rumors, creating more fomotpci could easily do a made-to-order business model for highend products (Premium collections, etbs) through their official website. This would assure that anyone who ACTUALLY wants product is able to get it. This alone would stop scalpers in their tracks which is one of the biggest problems the hobby is facing right now.
Don't know when it will return to the norm. I'm hoping that it's with this upcoming Unova set since normies fucking haaaaate Unova. But they will probably feign interest/hype due to the crazy amount of illustration rares in these two sets.
