Scalpers have ruined the game for me
Ever since Prismatic Evolutions came out it was a near impossible task to get my hands on packs from the expansion. I did get some and I had some decent pulls but I paid more for it than most because some stores increased the prices in order to combat scalpers or so they say but I know better. And then there’s the elusive god pack to add to this craze. That was the worst decision the pokemon company could have made because this has made this expansion the hardest to get for people who want to collect the cards and/or play the game. This game has become the target of money hungry people that don’t care if children get disappointed as long as they can make a profit. Thanks for ruining the game for us, you stupid scalpers!

I feel the same in my area there hasa been one stock of PRE thats was at the erelease of the set ever since then nobody has been stocking them, but i do understand why everyone wants the PRE Set as it has Semi god packs and God packs.
Hopefully it will calm down and stocks in stores go back to normal but we will have to wait and see.

It looks like Journey Together might be calmer. I sure hope so, since I need to get me a Lillie's Clefairy ex before the regionals in Atlanta.

Yep, in Australia, it's the same. Ever since 151, impossible to get hands on anything. Can't go into any store to find any stock.
What's worse is in AUS we don't get to preorder expansions at the same time as other countries. We are weeks behind with no communication as to when to expect. So scalpers watch for the drops while everyone works and by the time regular collectors even know it's available for preorder, it's all gone.
Stock levels are stupidly low. Pokemon TCG is the only card game to be unable to stock for demand. It really needs to be fixed. I haven't been able to buy a single thing since from surging sparks onwards.
Scalpers have definitely ruined the game. But TPC aren't helping the situation either. They don't communicate and they haven't responded to the demand with more stock.
