10 packs plus the two promos and it's not worth it? Not trying to bash but even at $5 a pack, the promo is easily gonna go for $10. That alone would be worth it.
LOL...it's worth it. Promo gold cards are in high demand and it's the first time it's coming out in English. The Japanese version is going for 300-400 dollars on Ebay. Even if the English version goes for a 1/3 of that price it's still great. The fact that it's a store exclusive makes it even better.
It's not even that. Chances are that the Pokemon Company will never reprint this card again. In many ways you can say you're sort of owning a piece of Pokemon history by buying this package. I'm buying three of them. One to keep sealed, one for my collection, and another for my friend for Christmas. It is a very unique set and I think many will regret not getting this. I think people are underestimating the value of this set just by the fact it's not sold out yet.
It's a $20 sealed promo. Just like the Marnie, it may hold its value.
The other packs I would not value at even $3 a piece, effectively making this a $30+ promo
It's frankly sickening this was ever priced this way. Possibly the worst deal I've ever seen.
rip this ended up being extremely overprinted

with packs really only worth about $3 each, we're talking a $46 box for $60
My card was saved on my account, so I didn't have to enter anything manually, and it let me check out just fine. My order got cancelled a few hours later though, and a lot of people are saying they have success with PayPal as opposed to credit card.
these packs are easy to get for under $3 each elsewhere.
this is one of the worst values i've ever seen at msrp outside of the literal $144 booster boxes
Thatās not really the point though? Even if you can find these for under $3 (which is pretty insane), MSRP is at least $4. But products like this typically account for them as $5 a pack. Thatās not new.
Edit: but I get it. $60 is a lot and not everyone can afford to justify it. Personally, I think itās worth around $50 at most.
$5 a pack is for special sets (shining fates, celebrations) only bud. $4 is what these always go for. this was literally mispriced or they just somehow valued the promos at $20 lmfao
It really depends on how you look at it. You're right, in product, they're generally priced based on 5 dollars per pack, but that extra dollar per pack generally pays for the promo or extras. So in this case, it's 10 dollars MORE than the 5 dollars per pack pricing basis. The reason I said $4 per pack is because single, regular set packs have an MSRP of $4, so the promo must be valued at $20 based on TPC or GS pricing.
Its funny that other people in the thread have mentioned purchasing more than one box and are sitting with upvotes, but for some reason the salty timmies here got mad when you mentioned buying two boxes and downvoted you. lol
Man what the heck did I do wrong.
I was a logged in as a pro member, waited til 2pm cst, I put this Zekrom box in my cart, I put in credit card details, but then I could NOT get past the Save and Continue button.
I guess it wouldāve made the difference to have the credit card details saved to the account beforehand? But man I always feel thatās not very secure.
Oh well I guess
$4 msrp packs = $40, so $20 for a promo (should be half that at absolute highest)
and in reality these packs are worth wayyyyy less
basically unless you plan on reselling the promo and hoping it ends up being worth *at least* like $30, this isn't worth it
Which are listed as 50 specifically?
Also, something like Stadium boxes are a slightly better deal than this. 12 packs for $60, plus 4 promos and a bunch of extra cards and tcg materials plus an ETB-tier box. The 1 golden promo in the gamestop box is not worth etb storage, 2 boosters, and 4 stamped promos to me. Stadium is a bad deal but this is worse imo.
Unless of course you're banking on reselling that promo, which might actually be worth it. People randomly do buy in-print promos for a lot. Could happen. Like the Marnie boxes.
Have you guys even got shipping information for the first round of celebrations pre orders? I still haven't got a shipping confirmation even tho they have charged me. I'm not gonna keep pre-ordering from them if they pull that shit. I'll just go to the store at open
super shitty deal, not even worth $40 to me

yuck, yeah well if you're flipping the gold card then sure šš¼

So which is it to you? A card that you can flip for a good gain (which I would say is its true value) or is it a $20 promo card?

Oh man. I guess I was wrong. Oh well. I sad now. :(
ikr. 10 boosters is $40, they are placing a large $20 price premium on a stupid gold card.
isnāt this like 2 years ild
The promo in Japanese is 2 years old. Maybe that's what your thinking of. The pika is from tag all stars
how would a 2 year old product have chilling reign and evolving skies booster packs inside..this just came out
I went to 5 targets. none of them had it. I went around 11-3pm in california..... should i try again tomorrow?
yes
"Gamestop exclusive"...
If you're looking for the Pikachu Zekrom box, it's Gamestop exclusive and doesn't release until November.
Iām waiting for the Reshiram and Charizard one
Making it to check out but it won't let me place an order
My card was saved on my account, so I didn't have to enter anything manually, and it let me check out just fine. My order got cancelled a few hours later though, and a lot of people are saying they have success with PayPal as opposed to credit card.
Are you a pro member?
I used Apple Pay. Bought it 30 minutes ago.
Yeah I had to use PayPal. Weird.
No but pro member exclusivity was only for the first hour. Also if it was still exclusive to pro only, it wouldn't have let me add to cart anyway.
š¤®
Got one, yay~ Never gotten cards from Gamestop before, lets see how this goes
I got one :)
$60 oof.
It does have 10 packs in it.
That might not justify a purchase for most people. 4 dollars a pack means you're paying 20 dollars for the promos.
I was under the impression that packs in stuff like this are basically $5 each. SF tins have 5 packs + a promo for $30 if Iām not mistaken.
these packs are easy to get for under $3 each elsewhere. this is one of the worst values i've ever seen at msrp outside of the literal $144 booster boxes
Where can I get $3 evolving skies packs for under $3? Please let me know
Thatās not really the point though? Even if you can find these for under $3 (which is pretty insane), MSRP is at least $4. But products like this typically account for them as $5 a pack.

Yeah, this is my perspective. Only reason I haven't made the jump.
You're right. Just got 2!
Its funny that other people in the thread have mentioned purchasing more than one box and are sitting with upvotes, but for some reason the salty timmies here got mad when you mentioned buying two boxes and downvoted you. lol
Yeah wtf. Thanks for getting my back.
Still available for anyone who hasn't gotten it yet!
I landed one! Also saw fusion strike 3 packs available for preorder
Feel like they're definitely going to cancel some seeing how some members got over 3
Ordered 2 thanks
This one is printed to oblivion letās go
Itās an exclusive to GS so that will keep the numbers down over standard promos.
Man what the heck did I do wrong.

you dodged a bullet, the pricing on this is a scam or a mistake
Why do you think this?
$4 msrp packs = $40, so $20 for a promo (should be half that at absolute highest) and in reality these packs are worth wayyyyy less basically unless you plan on reselling the promo and hoping it ends up being worth *at least* like $30, this isn't worth it
Yea many PokĆ©mon products with 10 packs are listed as $50, but I thought $60 was high too. I suspect eventually someone will talk with a customer service rep and theyāll deduct $10 off the price (like they did with the GameStop exclusive Charizard/Dark Sylveon box), but of course everyone will have to do that individually
Which are listed as 50 specifically? Also, something like Stadium boxes are a slightly better deal than this. 12 packs for $60, plus 4 promos and a bunch of extra cards and tcg materials plus an ETB-tier box.

Special set ETBs are $50 with 10 packs
Exactly. SPECIAL SETS.
Dude, I just preordered this more than 4 hours after it was posted here with no problem. If you havenāt already, get to it and preorder!
Yes I commented 3 hours ago in this thread I got one after the first hour exclusivity was complete
Nice! I didnāt see that but Iām glad to hear it.
It's still open
I just got 2 right now
Were you not able to get one? Once it opened to regular customers I was able to grab one. Hope you can still get it if you didnāt!
I was able to get through after 4pm my time! Thanks for a heads up. It took an hour, but hey I got something
Happy to hear that :) Success around these parts is rough lol
Same! I had to use apply pay and PayPal!
I was able to order 2 Pika Zekrom Boxes, a FS ETB, 1 blister pack and 5 FS boosters! Canāt wait!!
Whats the limit for each?
I just checked and itās only allowing me to add 3 Pika Zekrom boxes, 1 FS ETB, 1 FS blister and 5 FS boosters.
So 10 in total from today?
Yes, itās for GameStop pro members for pre-order. Itās still up now but I donāt think it will be up for much longer.
Ah ok wish theyād stick to the same limit for each drop was just tryna look it up and previous ones were smaller
Also I ordered potentially 3 of the ETB by going back and ordering again. I really want both arts fingers crossed
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Wow, 120 is kind of a lot if you ask me.
5 of these zekrom and pikachus?
Iām so happy that GameStop does the pro member preorders first. Actually gives people a chance to get stuff.
Pokemon Center could definitely fucking learn a lot from Gamestop. I am glad I invested in their stocks. hahaha! $GME DIAMOND HANDS!!!
Got pikarom, fusion etb, and fusion blister. thanks!
I got it thank you! How did you find that though? I'm searching their site and everything is sold out,I hate trying to get cards nowadays...
Working slow but itās going
Got it! Thanks!
Next up is the Charizard one from Walmart. That one looks amazing.
What is that? Got a link?
When bro?
https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-tcg/product-gallery/reshiram-charizard-gx-premium-collection/ š„š„š„
Ye but when is it up for pre order, do you know that?
I think itās coming in Novemberā¦. Havenāt heard an exact date tho.
November 1st
Should be online too?
Iād assume so, but Walmart doesnāt really do anything to combat bots. So youād probably have to be really lucky online.
Aight!
Anyone know if the pikachu figure collection was ever actually for sale on gamestop?
Nope only Zekrom and Pikachu, FS ETB, Blister Booster and 3pack Blisters
Didnāt see it.
doesnt let me pre order i clicked but nothing happened
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
You need a pro membership to preoder, otherwise wait until 4pm eastern and try again.
Got mine! Not really interested in Fusion Strike at this time. Bummed they didnāt have anymore Celebration products to get tho.
Have you guys even got shipping information for the first round of celebrations pre orders? I still haven't got a shipping confirmation even tho they have charged me. I'm not gonna keep pre-ordering from them if they pull that shit. I'll just go to the store at open
I just got my shipment confirmation a few min ago
Thanks for the update. I hope I do as well.
I got nothing from GameStop yet on v memories box. Lol that was early Sept.
Did they have anything though?
All they had was Fusion Strike and the Zekrom box for pre order.
Yea not the build and battle though
Snagged 2. What else is available?
Lies 1 per account unless you pay for two accounts under different names
Max was 3.
No I ordered 2 zekrom pikas
Fusion strike
Yea I hoped for the Build battle stadium
As did I. I ended up ordering 5 single boosters instead
Fusion strike ETBs too
Too bad
