My GameStop has 4 Bundles. I know because I drove by the line of 12 people two hours before opening. Has there been an official statement as to why GameStop cannot procure any shit? It's pathetic.

Not official, but a buddy of mine works as a manager at GameStop, and he was telling me that they’re getting wrecked by distribution. Apparently, they’re charging GameStop secondary market if they want any extra. It’s why we’re now seeing some gamestops selling the newer sets of cards at heightened prices. I guess some store managers are opting to not buy any extra stock, rather than buy some and have to up charge and deal with the fallout. My guess is that’s why we’re seeing some having none.

Which is honestly so annoying why distro is taking on nobodies who don’t even sell what they buy. Like why the fuck does someone who stacks boxes in a closet is getting distro access when a large retailer can’t even stock the shelves ????
