I hate it. I work, i have maybe Fri after work or Sat after work to find anything. and its bare central by then by people who wait at doors right when they open to take everything.
its unfair advantage to those who collect for nastolgia sake. i collect mainly jdm cars, porsches and some exotics. anything american I collected for my pops and now im getting rid of cuz he doesnt care about em.
i typically collect 2 to keep. one kept in its package. one to open. my goal is to get my own place and line a wall, simple.
if i end up with more its because fam know my obsession and they will get me something that may interest me.

I bought the 2 sets in the box. Nothing wrong with asking for some assistance instead of opening stuff without permission.

this i have no issue with, your buying the whole box, handle and enjoy. its when they nit pit specific ones, mainly TH for value and cause issues with the store when they trash shit.

personal view, I think its garbage. especially when they own a business is to re trade and mark up these things up. Just be and adult and get em like a business should, stop screwing collecters that collect to collect. unfortunately its like this with any hobby dealing with collections.
it sucks now especially since they are bringing JP cars mainstream and frankly thats all i collect...
even still I dont take everything when I do see it, I dont see the point.
It sucks when you are limited on time is all.
