Scalpers Strike Again! D&D Styled Merch Reselling Online For Triple The Price.
We saw it last month with the limited edition Raspberry Rally girl scout cookies and now we’re seeing it once again with a popular Dungeons and Dragons styled popcorn bucket. As scalpers are buying in bulk and selling online for nearly triple the price.
This is all due to the release of the recent hit release Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. It is one of the few movies ever made about the Tabletop adventure game. It’s has proven to be a hit reaching $38 million in it’s opening and $78 million worldwide. Alongside the movie was a set of merchandise. You have normal things like T-shirts and an assortment of cups and bottles. However two items really stood above the rest.
Make your next roll epic with our exclusive DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: HONOR AMONG THIEVES 20-sided die popcorn vessel with a large popcorn, only $34.99. On sale now at select locations, while supplies last! https://t.co/ILm5G5pwMc pic.twitter.com/LRlCJkAUr8

One being a reusable popcorn bucket in the shape of a D20 dice. Which let’s face it most gamers will be using it for their dice rather than popcorn. However, getting one is the tricky part as it sold out almost instantly. With some even buying a few at a time. AMC’s around New Jersey and the rest of the country were called to see if they had any at physicals locations and if so those were bought up to. Now here’s the part that makes me mad. As we’ve seen many times before those who bought multiple are selling them online. Which is great! But it’s selling anywhere between double to triple the price of $34.99.
I like popcorn, but I don’t like it that much. Which stinks because it is a really cool looking dice and doubles as a bucket! Though this would have been a lot more work. It would’ve been cool if each dice number opened up to a separate compartment. Then you could roll for a snack.
I’ve seen pictures online for the upcoming Mario movie popcorn bucket and that I may try to get my hands on before they sell out to bots! Hopefully AMC restocks and the items don’t get snatched away instantly.
