Agreed.

At this point it's probably easier to hit up a yard sale.

XiomaraMendes: Exactly, but what makes it difficult is clothing gatchas. You have to hunt for both the item you want as well as the size you wear.

vintagemcmillan: Not an unpopular opinion, just few dare to say it. Gachas are giant money drainers. Best to set an amount for each machine an dmove on once spent.

We know, or, at least, I know. Every event, though, there I am plugging away for a rare.

Yard sales are great if you're just kinda shopping like "Oh yeah this looks cool I'll pick this up"

But hunting for a specific item and hoping you end up getting lucky with the machines, it's just frustrating

On top of that, these designers spend the entire month working on these items and you seldom see an in-store release from any of them.

TheBloggingElf: That is exactly what I do.
