Yea. I hope they keep printing, it is a great little set (expensive really) for what you open. But for 25 years of making a card game, that be great if they kept it for a year and keep pushing it out for the collectors.

I let my 2nd grader and my kindergartner split an ETB for good report cards... Look what my son hit in his 5 celebrations packs... What a lucky turd!

Nicely done! I still haven't hit either of those.

That's awesome! It's weird, but I've noticed it seems like some of the better/harder to pull hits have been clumped together for me. I've pulled an Umbreon or Mew with most Charizards from the same run of packs in ETBs. I've also noticed I often get Blastoise and Venusaur together.

Went to Target today again at the restock time, ver happy I was able to get my hands on a celebrations binder

Vendor had at least a dozen.

Picked up...
- Dark Sylveon V Box (first time i have seen these at my Target, still no Charizard)
- Evolving Skies 3-Plack Blister
- Fusion Strike ETB

Everything that I pulled from all 3 products were a dud. So I had a Celebrations ETB at my house that was going to keep sealed, but was so down after that rip I decided to rip it open and glad I did. Pulled three cards that I needed for the celebrations set!

Imposter Professor Oak... Mega Rayquaza EX... aaaaaand Shiny gold Mew

Glad I decided to crack into it

MIRRABB · 11-13-2021, 09:33 AM

Just went to Target and they had just a huge amount of stock. No Celebrations ETBs (though they had tins) but every other kind of ETB imaginable. Also couldn't resist buying one of those new Articuno figures because it's the first time I saw it.

Awesome, news! Glad you found a binder! Our Target had a line of 8 people when we arrived a few minutes before opening. Mostly resellers as we see them check their phone and call their friends for prices lol. Celebrations were gone by the time we got to the front but did get 2 sword and shield trainer boxes, which is one of their favorites.

Did you complete the full celebrations set? We are a few cards away.

TimBuckTwo · 11-17-2021, 07:23 PM

Are the UPC boxes done? Only saw a small bit at one WM and nothing since.

Are they fairly limited?

nera20 · 11-17-2021, 07:30 PM

if anyone is interested in this let me know thanks

I am down to needing the Donphan, Gardevoir, and Shining Magikarp. Also going back and buying the mcdonald's promo singles that I am missing. Considering them part of the set since they have the 25th anniversary stamp

Dbacksbaseball · 11-18-2021, 08:08 AM

Found some more Pikachu boxes. Come out to $45 with membership at B&N. Now up to 5 held and ripped one yesterday (not good).

Just a gut feeling, but think these end up going up pretty good once they dry up. I could be wrong but the set is enjoyable.

Amazon has Ultra-Premium up for $175

Collinsfanatic · 11-18-2021, 11:34 AM

I don't know about every one else but I am 3 for 3 on the Charizard box hitting a Charizard. I have opened 30 tins, 5 Dark Sylveon boxs, 5 pin collection boxes, 3 etbs, and a ultra premium box and not a single one from any of them. Is there something to the Charizard box that we all should know about?

Good luck getting them. They dropped last night too at that price when no one was expecting them. I had some in cart then it errored out. Amazon is botted to death.

Ultra Premium on Blowout for a bit under $300 now...

Haven't seen any in three weeks. is the run done?

Andr3000 · 11-20-2021, 02:54 PM

I just got my UPC box that I ordered from GameStop a few weeks ago.

What should I do with it?

Keep sealed and hold? How long?
Keep sealed and sell on eBay?
Rip and flip?

Now that you’ve mentioned it- I’ve pulled 3 Charizards, 2 of them from those specific UPCs as well (I think I’ve done 3-4 though; other one was in a premium box)

Halfway through my latest Celebrations ETB. So far Flying Pikachu VMAX, Cleffa, Crobat VMAX and Sandaconda VMAX from the bonus packs and Umbreon Gold Star.

Collinsfanatic · 11-23-2021, 07:58 AM

ETBs have been the worst for me so far. Best hit out of the 3 etbs has been the Garchomp. Hit 3 Charizards out of the Charizard vmemories, hit 2 of the gold mews out of the mini tins. Still haven't hit an Umbreon gold star or the reshiram.
