I'm not here to attack you, but to make a proposition
It is clear that if you are still intent on buying Pokemon Sword and Shield new, you are probably going to buy it regardless of quality. Many of you on this board doing this are probably just collectors. Maybe some of you don't transfer and aren't phased by this, and that's okay.
I would like to urge you, however, that if you currently have a preorder to at least cancel it temporarily. If you are buying the game new, wait a week or two.

For those of you not buying but who know someone who is, encourage them to do the same.
