You don't, no McDonalds would allow that. He's just doing what all manchildren do when they can't find the toy they want, blame the boogeyman (scalpers).
You wanna maybe research the market you think you know anything about? lmfao

For someone who dislikes manchild toy collectors, you sure seem to be in tune with their interests, behaviours, and buying habits.

There's a lot more nuance than I would care to bore you with here. Let it be known, I AM a manchild. I fucking love Pokemon, as if my username didn't give it away. I just hate the people trying to capitalize on a hobby that has brought me so much relief. They aren't collectors. They're professional middle-men who have time enough to stake out a store for hours. Whereas I do not.

Yeah, I fucking am. But I pay my shit off without needing to scalp Pokemon cards.

I don't see why everyone is attacking TC? Scalpers do suck.

Like, y'all must be miserable if you are going to attack someone for enjoying their hobby of collecting. Also, everyone acting dense when it was pretty clear TC isn't calling them manchildren for getting the Pokemon stuff, but moreso for taking the chance away from people who want them.

Man fuck the hobby of collecting childrens toys so kids cant play with them
You mean the kids that play with them 1 time and then show no appreciation or love for it?

At least collectors have sentimental value. Perhaps they don't play with it, but they are proud of it.

Now, don't get me wrong, I don't want to make kids sound horrible. If that 1 time, they played with it, they had fun, then that is good enough. I just don't see collectors as an evil. Scalpers taking the joy from a kid playing with them or the joy of someone who will be happy to collect it and display it are the villains to me.

I know, right? Like, maybe he worded it slightly off in his OP. I understood it, but maybe some didn't.

In the end, the board showed its real maturity. Like, the dude just is having a good time collecting something from a series he enjoys, I don't see a problem with that. These people are sounding like the kids at school that make people scared to admit they like things that are deemed "uncool"

Like, once I brought up to this guy how much I enjoyed Mario Kart 8 (I was in 10th grade I believe), or well my friend brought it up anyways. Immediately, the guy starts relating it to pedophilia, and it's like, wtf. This is why people like me have been nervous to admit to people that I enjoy the Mario series because then you have people like that that judge you and bring up the weirdest connections.

Unfortunately that's I didn't play magic in school. I hung out with absolutely everyone including the kids who did.... but I was too worried about being made fun of to just go and enjoy magic at lunch in the cafeteria (or play it at all).

Its definitely a little sad it apparently can be a thing well past hs.

I will say that folks scalping literal McDonald's Happy Meal toys are considerably more sad than person who wants a toy for his collection.

He's a poketuber though. A1drive or something like that. He makes his living off Pokmon so him I understand.

That being said, it's easy money in 5 years if you hold onto them so I get it.

Yeah and his buddies are equally annoying. Namely RealBreakingNate, Leonhart, and UnlistedLeaf.

People on here were raging when new consoles and the rtx 3k series were getting bought up and scalped, but now ????

This. I know what TC's talking about. I don't collect Pokemon memorabilia myself, but I've seen that people are buying out and scalping these Pokemon toys just like the PS5 situation.

I think it's related to all product, tbh. Scalpers have almost ruined the hobby for a lot of people.
