After so much positive progress was made with last year's film, we have 'evolved' into a cut scene from a mid-90s interactive DVD game. It just looks awful. I hate it.
As a collector, this is just stupid. Especially given that they can't meet the demand for even the normal sets. I'm not even going to try with this one. It even gets me thinking I should just stop altogether.
I see hundreds of the Red's Pikachu on ebay right now, but am waiting for the price to drop. These Munch promos are going to be so expensive for the full sets though.

What's going on with Ami Ami lately? Fairy Rise sold out before it released and they haven't replenished stock. Everywhere else is either sold out or overpriced. Now SM8 is "orders closed" for a while now and it's still weeks away from releasing. Where can I get this from instead at a fair...
