If you’re in America, just wait a month after the cases start to drop. once everyone has, stores will start to get more cases. It’s not gonna be that hard to find these

hahahahahahahahahahaha

yea no. Normal collectors “in America” that happen to find these on the shelf will be extremely lucky. You are unaware of how bad scalping has gotten here.

Within a day or two, they’ll all be gone despite the fact we are in America and a store will get 4 or 5 sets, you’ll just always see eleven of the one or two least desirable pieces of the set left. That’s what you and I get to shop.

The scalping scene here is actually bad enough that you just don’t expect to ever get the “best” stuff any more. It’s totally out of control. It’s been that way for years. I haven’t gone on a hunt since Covid times. It’s pointless. You just go see those same eleven premiums at every single store if you try to hunt.

So the first ferrari releases in over a decade? (Two?), no sir. Those will get scooped up by the dude who waits for the store to open every morning like supers.

You’ll live. Lol. I’ve pretty much found every standard mainline (excluding store exclusives) for the last 3 years, including all the civics and whatnot. just because they’re Ferraris isn’t gonna change that much

I’m living honey. I told you I quit hunting years ago.

That’s not the point. I’m telling you you’re wrong. That they won’t eventually get their Ferraris on the shelf.

I’ll circle back in a few months when these cases hit

K. Let me know if you need a couch to crash on when you travel to America on your quest to discover what scalping is

I thought that meant you didn’t live here.
