It’s discussion times again. What’s in your backlog?
I’ll go first. I don’t have a physical backlog in the traditional sense, but I am waiting on some stuff from P-Bandai. I have pre-ordered an MG Tallgeese Fluegel, MG Altron, and MG Unicorn Recirculation.
I didn’t know that was happening. I always wondered why they had a limit of ten of the same item. I guess they should make it no more than 2. As far as I’m concerned, scalpers are scum just barely better than lawyers and cops.
There’s different quantity limits on different items. Some are only one per.
That said, the mods weren’t scalping (at least as far as I know). Unlike a lot of other storefronts, once you put something in your cart on PB, it can’t be sold out from under you. So people were loading up their carts and just letting them sit. Then someone on discord would say “is for me? 👉👈” or whatever, and someone would remove one from their cart while the other person refreshed like mad. They did this for HOURS when the II Neo Zeong was reprinted a few years ago. Their justification was that they were making sure the kits were received by fans and not gobbled up by scalpers. But it’s still gatekeeping. People who weren’t part of that Reddit/discord clique? Well, they can get fucked I guess. 🙄
