Walgreens Pokemon tin "repacks"

[Kraai]

...I'm rather put off by this.

Are these packaged by PCi? If not, how do the cards have that foil treatment?

I'm not totally sure that they're "official" PCi products, but they very well could be.

They appear simply to be repackaged tins; whether this is done by the Walgreens company or PCi itself and released to select smaller retailers like Walgreens, is a mystery beyond me.

However, the cards are real and they do have a Rotom foil treatment. I'm sure Walgreens is beneath being able to create cards like this, so they must have been at least manufactured (maybe specifically for this) by the Pokemon Company.

They are official, meaning from PCI.

Well I'm A-OK with this then!
Been wanting that Garchomp for a while!

Although using the same tins as before is a little...odd.

HOLY ARCEUS!!!!
that's a low price!!:biggrin:

They were $5.49 here (normally $10.99). The sale was half price on anything $9.99 or higher. Didn't see a limit, not that it mattered since they only had one left.

Now they're having sales?

I curse myself for not yet being able to drive freely whenever I want. ;(

i'll be going in about half an hour to pick some up, can't wait! this is a great deal, especially if you get the garchomp or charizard ones

 

[WavestripeMcKe]

I got 2 char ones and one ray and got 6 holos and a pikachu reprint :biggrin:

 

[idrumprettywell]

so my walgreens only had the lucario tins in, but i still got two holos so not a bad deal

 

[WavestripeMcKe]

Wow, sounds like good pulls compared to most of the lucario tins I have bought

 

[keniselvis]

went to walgreens and picked up 4 of them. 3 Charizard and 1 Garchomp. I was having buyers remorse about buying tins packed with old cards until my son openned up one of th Charizard tins.

His three packs were: PL, RR, SV ALL LEGAL! ugh!

and his pulls that are worth anything: Dialga G and Cyrus Conspiracy. Not to mention his Charizard that he loves!

I was going to return the other three...probably not now. eh eh eh.

Stopped by our local Walgreen's and they didn't have any.

If i have the time and can think of it i'll try the one that's not so close.
