Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Apparently there used to be Halloween packs of Pokemon cards that my friend would give out for trick or treaters, I don't know the details if they were cheaper or smaller than a regular pack or just Halloween-themed, or what exactly their deal was, I just know that they're a thing that exists
By they couldn't get their hands on them this year. I don't know if they discontinued them, or if someone snatched them all up, but in either case I'm pretty sure the current pokemon card investment bullshit is to blame.
And I think that's a real shame, it sounds like a fun thing to give out or at least have as an option for the kids that are into pokemon, and probably appreciated by kids who maybe have food allergies and such and cant really enjoy the candy everyone else is giving out.
$27 for a six-pack: https://www.amazon.com/Pokemon-Trick-Mimikyu-Pikachu-Booster/dp/B0CQCZL211
That's beyond full-candy-bar territory.
Costco usually brings these around Halloween, they go for like $25-$35 for a 40 pack.
Well, that makes sense. Something strange happened on my Amazon page, because who the hell buys a six pack for trick-or-treaters? I wonder if there's scarcity for some reason...
