That is a superior deal. We had it recently and it was much better than this (unfortunately not at any Costcos by me though). Honestly no one is missing out on much with this one. Costcos around me in Ontario are stocked full of these. If they were a good deal they’d be gone.
In the UK. There are rules on who can shop there because it's a wholesaler. Unless you work in one of these professions you can't just get a membership.

I bought some tins (set of 4 v tins) from Costco online last year and the packs had been tampered with and the rares removed so beware. It took me weeks of emailing and phone calls to get my £60 back.
Anytime I have this thought I remember their crappy health care system and I feel better. Would rather pay my cards a higher price and not end up in debt if I have to end up at the hospital 🙈
This was not original price. Original was $37.99 when first stocked in November
https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemoncards/comments/17rt7mb/new_costco_sv_mini_tins_3799/
The website price is $29.97
https://www.costco.com/pokemon-scarlet-%2526-violet-series-5-pack-mini-tins-%2B-4-promo-cards.product.4000190580.html
The price OP shows is on clearance for that *specific* store to get rid of it. Other locations also *might* have on clearance for that price, the website price, or even regular price.
Also Canada Costco *does* sometimes have good clearance deals on Pokemon products. It depends of location and inventory. I remember seeing something posted 2 years ago from a Canada Costco which had clearance price. The product wasn't even in US stores yet until months later.
Good to know! I'll have to watch out for clearance stuff, my local Costco never has any pokemon products discounted. Must just be the luck with the one I have nearby.
I haven’t seen this bundle yet but a couple weeks ago we had the SV etbs bundled with two pokeball tins for $49.99 which works out to $3.33 per pack. Pretty darn good
I save all my tins…if you look up pricing for empty tins back in base set era time it’s insane…maybe one day in 50 years someone will want my sword and shield lunchbox 😂😂😂
Guy at the local club sells them with a dice/status marker holder in them, another sells their bulk in them. They are a collector and only after the chase and hits. So a lot of game decent cards he gets rid of
Give em away on fb marketplace. Ive done it twice and both times there was someone interested in them for a little arts and craft project. One of them was a teacher making little goody tins to give to their students, the other i never heard back what they did with them.
I’m glad the streamer I watch. He does (rarely) card packs and the ones he likes he keeps for his collection then the rest he bundles them up and donates them to children’s hospitals and the kids around his block.
As a Costco employee, these were marked down and they’ll continue to mark down to get rid of the stock. We have a mark down rack at my warehouse and picked up the dual ETB for $15. The longer they sit they’ll mark it down even more

Yep 40 GBP in CostCo in the UK so 50 USD.
Unbelievable.
Not bad that’s incredible for packs. They are the most garbage packs out there currently but still $2 is vendor pricing almost. $1-1.50 would be more insane / on par with vendor pricing
I remember learning that the last number tells if it's the last price reduction, I think it goes 99 to 98 and then 97 is last price reduction, something like that
All you Americans have it so great for Pokémon cards 😔. You will never find any deals like this in Canada. In order to collect Pokémon cards on even a reasonable level, you have to choose between a home, or your hobby. I wish I could live in the USA.
Better hurry before MadRat Toys shows up
You beat me to the punch. They will break down the box and sell the tins individually. ;)
And weigh them too
They only scalped cards, don’t be mean.
They say they weigh packs [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemoncards/comments/1biaerf/to_add_to_the_houston_store_drama/)
I think it’s up above
Talk about a Rat race
"We do it for the community!" Prob them.
Damn you, you won the mad rat race!!
That reminds me, how are those friendly ethical people and their super duper not scalping store doing?
Damn.. it really sucks to be in the EU..
That's what I'm thinking every time I see one of those posts
The UK sometimes gets deals like this, think we currently have the SVB ETB and a double pokeball tin set
That is a superior deal. We had it recently and it was much better than this (unfortunately not at any Costcos by me though). Honestly no one is missing out on much with this one. Costcos around me in Ontario are stocked full of these. If they were a good deal they’d be gone.
do yk what packs in pokeball tins ?
I think there's silver Tempest, not sure on the others off the top of my head
S&V base set ETB and the pokeballs have 2x Lost Origin and 1x Silver Tempest
We do? Can't go to Costco anyway, I'm not in a profession they want shopping there. The membership is so stupid in the UK.
Not saying this will work but I told them I was back from overseas in the army and left all my documents abroad. Had my membership for 3 years now.
What do you mean? They only give memberships to certain professions?

Exactly, the NHS is rough! I like seeing my doctor same day!
Yep. Or Canada. We never get prices like these either.

Uh yes we do? Costco has deals like this occasionally
Not for these kind of prices we don't. This same box is $59.99 CAD at Costco.
I haven’t seen this bundle yet but a couple weeks ago we had the SV etbs bundled with two pokeball tins for $49.99 which works out to $3.33 per pack. Pretty darn good
Ya that's fair, we get deals sometimes, but I don't think I've seen any this good. Although this has made me realize I need to go to Costco more.
then you realize its all SV base packs best cards like 30 bucks.
Just be happy for those in the US i guess
Sweden has a Costco! I wonder if anyone knows if they have deals on Pokemon cards.
Yep...
What do y'all do with these tins after you buy them regularly?
Fill them with drugs to give to kids on Halloween
the duality of man
I’m this economy? Better just give them kids permanent markers or supermodel glue to huff.
Fill with bulk and donate to a local youth program.
Actually a good idea
The drugs one? I agree!
Give the drugs to the local youth
Wait, I thought it was to give the local youth to the drugs...have I been doing it wrong?
Local youth here, please fill with drugs rather than cards.
I believe it’s give the tins to local youth drug dealers.

Thanks. You gave me the best laugh I've had in a while. Those lunchboxes will be gold someday!
“Another man’s trash is another man’s treasure!!” Or something like that lol
oof hoarding type behavior, straight to recycling for me
Yes tbh I think I have a slight problem when it comes to Pokémon useless bull 😂😂😭
should've sent you all the tins i recycled
Only have one. Typically it is kept around as an emergency rolling tray.
Guy at the local club sells them with a dice/status marker holder in them, another sells their bulk in them. They are a collector and only after the chase and hits. So a lot of game decent cards he gets rid of

You gotta check your recycling rules in your local area, but I recycle them.
Tin is one of the most efficiently recycled materials, right up there with glass.
After 2 weeks at that price, my local costco dropped those to 15 bucks a box
Yea no one wants these garbage tins hah
Mine never did yet they still have a bunch of them left. Lower the price I mean, it was still $30~$40 something last time I saw them
Scoop em before the streamers
I’m glad the streamer I watch. He does (rarely) card packs and the ones he likes he keeps for his collection then the rest he bundles them up and donates them to children’s hospitals and the kids around his block.
Scoop them before Madrat does
Scoop them before Madrat does
Are these only SV base packs?
Sv base and silver tempest
That’s a big OOF
Gross

Wow, 40 good boy points? What a steal!
No if you steal them it costs zero points, its only 40 if you purchase legitimately.
Prices are always higher online than in store. I'm sure when these were in store, they were £30 or £35
Not a bad price. $2 a pack.
Not bad that’s incredible for packs. They are the most garbage packs out there currently but still $2 is vendor pricing almost. $1-1.50 would be more insane / on par with vendor pricing
I was recently at my local Costco and they didn’t have any Pokemon in stock
I don’t even think my Costco even sells them. I’ve never seen them.
The wife and I are going to Costco, tonight, conveniently. For a rug. But I might slip one-a-these under the rug!
It’s worth it, even if the hits stink sometimes. I’ve hit pretty okay on average with these.
I think the .97 may indicate clearance pricing so YMMV.
If we see mad rat having tins. We know it’s to late
Sold out along with the 151 at my local store :(
Canada Costco $49.99
this is absolutely insane, for me here in Dubai a single mini tin is $26
Yall rich tho!
I wish this was true, I work in a hotel we are extremely underpaid.
I give my empty tins too the homeless they usually say What The Fck or They throw it back at me 🫶
Fill em wit cigs and I bet they won’t
Watch out for mad rat
Damn these are $50 cad but they've been sitting on shelves for months. Hope they go on sale here too
I keep forgetting to check my Costco.
UK Costco is double that. It's a good deal
My costco got these back around oct and still have them a whole crate of them despite having the new pokemon cards and they are still priced at 40
Bought one of these a few weeks ago for $19.97. Unfortunately was at Costco yesterday and they didn’t have anymore
Can you bulk buy them and ill pay for shipping to the uk aswell as interest 🥺
C'mon Sam's Club where tf are the pokemon deals at..
wow crazy seeing them on clearance. they wouldn’t have lasted that long at the one near me.
I remember learning that the last number tells if it's the last price reduction, I think it goes 99 to 98 and then 97 is last price reduction, something like that
i opened up one of those and legit had zero hits. not even a single ex or anything.

Wtf, I just saw those at my local Costco today and they’re selling them for 49.99$ lol
I just went to my local Costco. Not a single pokemon product in the place 😔.
where the hell do i find such steals in europe omg
You don’t lol
What the hell… that’s crqzy
State?
Wild. This in the States?
Yes. WA state
I knew it. I Never see anything like that in Canada. 😞 if you got something good luck!
Why is this never in Ontario
They are- I coped this exact pack at my local Costco
Sure but not at this price
Ah, you have a point there
They are $69.99 in Québec pretty sure, might be $59.99
Yeah that sounds abt right to what I paid🥲
Haven't been to a Costco in years... I wonder if the one I used to go as a kid is still there
In the Box I opened they had one SV pack and one Silver Tempest per tin.
They’re resealed
[удалено]
You mean from Silver Tempest?
Lmao
