Re: A rant about bots
Great topic. For the consoles, I was never able to get the PS5 due to stock issues. I ended up getting a Series X via Xbox All Access through EB Games (you pay monthly for the Xbox and Gamepass for 2 years and then you own it, no interest. You can also pay off for it as fast as you want if needed). That was the only option to get a next gen console for me.
While I do think scalpers and bots are affecting action figure collecting (especially Transformers), I feel like Hasbro is more deserving of the blame. I feel like they are giving a lot less stock to the retail stores right now and overall less to the Canadian market (hence the delays with Walmart, Amazon, TRU, etc.). While in the US, their shelves are pretty much fully stocked.
