Look, the market is in such a way there is bound to be someone, be it TKT or a scalper or an insider, who will run through all of the boxes and swipe the good stuff. It is how it is.
The thing is, TKT has gone ahead and beaten the scalpers in their game and is selling it to us at retail. By posting his pictures on a public forum he is exposing himself, in which if he was a scalper who swiped all the good stuff and sells it to you at sky high prices, he wouldn't. The market has been like that because of Mattel shortpacking their goods. If a case has less Dragtors/Ratbombs and more Evo X, the stocks will move faster and we will get better shipments and new stuff more often.
I'm saying not trying to divert the blame from people who sweep everything and shifting it to Mattel. I'm just simply pointing out the facts. Also, look a few posts up on this forum, other people have managed to score a lot of good stuff even without going through the cases but on the racks. It means that all hope is not lost. There are places with stuff that are unfiltered and untouched.
I just feel maybe you needed a face and name to point a finger to blame to release your frustration (just my guess). And so happened the blogger posted up the picture and suddenly TKT is to blame for all the cars that are not available on the shelves. He couldn't have hit all the shops, and how sure are you he bought from the same store as you?
