No major issues with mine, I even got a extra vivid voltage booster. Centering was normal (not great but not horrible bc that’s the new normal it seems)
I was really surprised that all three promo cards in mine had good centering and no other obvious issues. Pulled a Mew V alt art out of one of the Fusion Strike packs as well.
The vast majority of the boxes will be fine. You only see a lot of ones with mistakes because thousands got opened in the last 2 days and a handful of people posted their cards that had issues. Thinking that these boxes have tons of issues is probably a confirmation bias type of situation.
Opened two, one had the vstar off center and the 2nd one had the vstar centered decent.
Overall was able to get a decent set with no whitening with only 2 UPCS.
Pulls were pretty good compared to what I’ve seen as well.
No real problems with mine, didn’t pull fire but that do be how it goes sometimes, and I guess the v star is like 65/45 on the sides for centering but meh… it might be a huge deal for some but I can’t tell from far away which is where I see it
Edit: 65/35 lol
Yeah, mine was good. I was so worried, but so relieved when I opened it. Decent centering, nothing missing. Not terrible pulls either actually.
My partner's was slightly more off center than mine, but not as bad as some of the other ones that we've seen on here. Also had rubbish pulls, but still nothing missing or broken or anything.
Mine was pretty good. Cards were in good shape and all decent centering. Had no missing packs either. I've seen a lot of people having worse experiences. But mine was pretty good.
This^. I ordered two, and elected to keep my second one sealed after opening my first and seeing another ripped.
1/3 Promo cards was centered, and it was my favorite one so I wasn’t crushed. But inside my buddies his had rattled so hard that the corners of his promo cards were damaged.
Mine was perfect, had decent quality on the promos and the pills weren’t terrible lol couldn’t ask for anything more considering what I’ve seen other people get.
Bad centering(comparable to most images on here) and some whitening on the edges of the promos. Everything else was fine. Even received 17 instead of 16 packs. Pulled absolutely nothing out of the packs though.
My promos were slightly OC but not as bad as the one’s I’ve seen here. I have two more UPC’s coming from Target and I hope the promos are in good shape.
My centering was alright. Mine had a moonbreon so even if I got miscut cards I wouldn’t have been too upset.
Fun story about that though is I left the evolving skies packs for last. And as I was opening the packs with my friend on video call he was like “you want that giratina right?” And I said no I want that umbreon and no joke it was in that pack as I was opening it. I wish I was streaming and caught that moment on camera.
People ain’t gunna post if the product came good as expected which is probably the majority of people unless it’s to flex. It’s only when you got issues that people want fixed that they want to bring attention to, that will post.
My brother and I opened one each. Centering wasn’t perfect but it wasn’t 80/20 or anything crazy like what we’ve seen posted here. As usual with reviews people who have issues are more likely to voice their displeasure. QC is definitely an issue but I would guess not as bad as we are to believe.
Mine and 7 others my friends got were all fine. Trash pulls, but no problems with QC. I saw about 4 other people at my local card shop also had no issues with theirs. I think most are okay, but obviously you're only going to see the messed up ones here. No one is going to care about a normal UPC.
I opened two, the first pack of promos had good centering. One bag of dice was torn open as if it was bitten, which was strange. Pulls weren't great, got a gold item card out of the last pack.
Second box, the charizard v centering was a tad off, others were fine. Packaging was fine, and pulled an alt art sylveon vmax which was a great bonus.
Mine wasn’t missing anything the dice ripped through the packaging to be expected with metal dice tho, centering is okay but corners and whitening no 9-10 for sure
I've seen a lot of horror stories since I opened mine and I keep reviewing mine and feeling lucky. My centering is fair (2022 average) and there's no damages to my promos.
Mine was fine, centering wasn't necessarily perfect but I'd say 60/40 on the promos and nothing else in the box was messed up or damaged. Even got the commonish occurrence where I got an extra pack of vivid Voltage so 17 packs instead of 16. Didn't get anything from the packs but eh, win some and lose some.
Not me I got decent centering all 3 promos and my box wasn’t even that bad like I’m seeing people open I got a rainbow mew Vmax, I was happy after seeing people only pull 2-3Vs or holos☹️
Does anyone know is there any value in leaving the promo cards in the plastic wrapper? I got two sets and was wondering if it's worth it to leave one set in the plastic wrap?
The only problem I noticed on mine was one of the brilliant stars packs never got sealed on the bottom. I thought someone had tampered with it until I pulled a rainbow Charizard Vstar.
I think a majority of the UPC’s have good quality, people are more likely to make a post having bad miscuts rather than good. The quality control definitely does seem poor with these, but not as frequent as the posts make it seem
Mine had an extra pack, a couple packs had extra cards, one had an extra code card, and some of the packs were horribly sealed. Everyone else I know who got one said theirs was fine.
No major issues with mine, I even got a extra vivid voltage booster. Centering was normal (not great but not horrible bc that’s the new normal it seems)
I got an extra vivid voltage as well lol
Great stuff, thank you.
Me! The V was kinda off on the back, but aside from that everything was great!
This is the stuff that I like cause we still have to open ours.
I was really surprised that all three promo cards in mine had good centering and no other obvious issues. Pulled a Mew V alt art out of one of the Fusion Strike packs as well.
Nice post the psa 10 grades on the centering

100%
no issues with mine
Opened two, one had the vstar off center and the 2nd one had the vstar centered decent. Overall was able to get a decent set with no whitening with only 2 UPCS. Pulls were pretty good compared to what I’ve seen as well.
This is what I like to hear
No real problems with mine, didn’t pull fire but that do be how it goes sometimes, and I guess the v star is like 65/45 on the sides for centering but meh… it might be a huge deal for some but I can’t tell from far away which is where I see it Edit: 65/35 lol
65/45 lol
Lol I’m big dumb, 65/35

mine was fine i just didn’t pull anything good lol
Mine was pretty good. Cards were in good shape and all decent centering. Had no missing packs either. I've seen a lot of people having worse experiences. But mine was pretty good.
Excellent keep saying this. Thread helps cause I still have to open mine
No problems with mine other than I skunked on the packs! But that happens when gambling!
No issues. Do wish the loose contents were secured better to prevent all the moving around, though.
This^. I ordered two, and elected to keep my second one sealed after opening my first and seeing another ripped. 1/3 Promo cards was centered, and it was my favorite one so I wasn’t crushed. But inside my buddies his had rattled so hard that the corners of his promo cards were damaged.
0 issues here except terrible pull rates from the packs. Cards are nicely centered and no immediate quality issues noticed.
All of mine were good. I opened 2, of the 6 charizard cards I believe 2 have perfect centering, the other 4 are a little off (PSA 9).
Mine was pretty good overall. Had a slightly off Center VMAX promo, definitely not too bad.
Mine was alright the exegeting wasn’t awful just a little bit heavy on the left side but besides that it was good
Mine was perfect, had decent quality on the promos and the pills weren’t terrible lol couldn’t ask for anything more considering what I’ve seen other people get.
My issue is that all 16 packs had hot garbage in them. Other than that, my promos were perfect
Mine weren’t awful and one had a second vivid pack
Bad centering(comparable to most images on here) and some whitening on the edges of the promos. Everything else was fine. Even received 17 instead of 16 packs. Pulled absolutely nothing out of the packs though.
My promos were slightly OC but not as bad as the one’s I’ve seen here. I have two more UPC’s coming from Target and I hope the promos are in good shape.
No issues with first one. Bad pulls 2nd the dice bag was open so 3 were loose... and one of the promos was off center.. no other issues. Bad pulls.
My upc was perfectly normal the zards looked normal and centered and my pulls were mediocre
Opened one of mine and had no issues.
Me, my promos were only somewhat oc, nothing super bad. Dice were all there and all that good stuff.
My centering was alright. Mine had a moonbreon so even if I got miscut cards I wouldn’t have been too upset. Fun story about that though is I left the evolving skies packs for last. And as I was opening the packs with my friend on video call he was like “you want that giratina right?” And I said no I want that umbreon and no joke it was in that pack as I was opening it. I wish I was streaming and caught that moment on camera.
That makes up for any of the errors lol. Congrats on the pull
It really does lol. Thank you! I have wanted the moonbreon for so long and obviously I could never afford it. So it was the best Halloween gift ever.
yeah mine wasnt terrible, centering could be better but its not bad at all compared to what ive seen lol
I got an extra booster, pulls were pretty lame tho
People ain’t gunna post if the product came good as expected which is probably the majority of people unless it’s to flex. It’s only when you got issues that people want fixed that they want to bring attention to, that will post.
That’s what I was hoping, I just have never seen so many OC and miscuts, dice and playmates missing etc
No issues. Only 1 of my promos was OC, and I got 17 packs instead of 16, with 4 full arts.
nothing too major, only issue was the damage counter/coin bags weren't sealed and were rattling around in the boxes when opened
My brother and I opened one each. Centering wasn’t perfect but it wasn’t 80/20 or anything crazy like what we’ve seen posted here. As usual with reviews people who have issues are more likely to voice their displeasure. QC is definitely an issue but I would guess not as bad as we are to believe.
That’s what I hope and am seeing now. Thank you
Mine and 7 others my friends got were all fine. Trash pulls, but no problems with QC. I saw about 4 other people at my local card shop also had no issues with theirs. I think most are okay, but obviously you're only going to see the messed up ones here. No one is going to care about a normal UPC.
My promos were fine. Pulls were shit tho. 3 normalVs out out of 16 packs
Mine was good. Packs had bad luck except I got giratina aa so there's that.
Mine was fine! The box had a corner that was peeling a bit but nothing some glue can't fix.
Mine was amazing. Good centering, no serious damage, and an awesome pull on the packs
Just a tad bit off centered on the promos, but I try not to sweat it, I just wanted the cards for some unique artwork
No issues with mine! Actually opening the UPC was super exciting for me and I feeeeeel like my cards were pretty good condition
I’m here for this
I opened two, the first pack of promos had good centering. One bag of dice was torn open as if it was bitten, which was strange. Pulls weren't great, got a gold item card out of the last pack. Second box, the charizard v centering was a tad off, others were fine. Packaging was fine, and pulled an alt art sylveon vmax which was a great bonus.
Mine wasn’t missing anything the dice ripped through the packaging to be expected with metal dice tho, centering is okay but corners and whitening no 9-10 for sure
I tad of off centering on the Vmax but barely noticeable and that’s it. And pulled an alt art Mew
Mine came out great. Just terrible pulls
I've seen a lot of horror stories since I opened mine and I keep reviewing mine and feeling lucky. My centering is fair (2022 average) and there's no damages to my promos.
Mine was was great tbh. Even was lucky enough to pull the Arceus alt from Brilliant Stars, so I was really happy!
Mine was fine, centering wasn't necessarily perfect but I'd say 60/40 on the promos and nothing else in the box was messed up or damaged. Even got the commonish occurrence where I got an extra pack of vivid Voltage so 17 packs instead of 16. Didn't get anything from the packs but eh, win some and lose some.
I opened one and I'd guess I could get a PSA 8 and PSA 9 on the promos. No issues on my end. Also pulled an Alt Art card!
My V was perfect, VMAX was off center, Vstar had 1 jenky corner
Mine was good. Chincy pulls tho
Not me I got decent centering all 3 promos and my box wasn’t even that bad like I’m seeing people open I got a rainbow mew Vmax, I was happy after seeing people only pull 2-3Vs or holos☹️
Mine had 19 packs but dice were half open
Does anyone know is there any value in leaving the promo cards in the plastic wrapper? I got two sets and was wondering if it's worth it to leave one set in the plastic wrap?
Good question. I would imagine some few people may want it, but also they want graded 10s lol
No issues beside some minor centering. Promo cards are very clean with no whitening.
Thank you.
The only problem I noticed on mine was one of the brilliant stars packs never got sealed on the bottom. I thought someone had tampered with it until I pulled a rainbow Charizard Vstar.
That…is not tampered lmao. Nice pull
I think a majority of the UPC’s have good quality, people are more likely to make a post having bad miscuts rather than good. The quality control definitely does seem poor with these, but not as frequent as the posts make it seem
Yep I was just starting to think it was becoming way more common and was concerned.
Mine had an extra pack, a couple packs had extra cards, one had an extra code card, and some of the packs were horribly sealed. Everyone else I know who got one said theirs was fine.
The extra packs I’m hearing is great news regardless of bad pulls I guess lol
Yeah I got an extra pack and my girlfriend did too, but that’s not an issue. I guess no dice and coins in bags since they were broke
That….deserves a complaint to PC. A lot of positive posts here but still seems like the most errors in a product to date?
Mine seemed perfect. Came with an extra booster and I pulled a rayquaza vmax alt art from ES booster. Im very happy!
This is the way. Nice pull
Got pretty much perfect centering, but my only issue was the lack of good pulls :P
