What’s the max you’ll spend on a 151 Blooming Water? I see it on OfferUp for $100, I asked for $80 but they refused. Should I invest $100 into it or just wait? Unfortunately I work full time 8-8, so I’ll never be able to buy it on Costco when it’s in stock for retail price.

I highly doubt the umbreon goes below like $1200. People know how expensive the moonbreon is and most of the people who pull one are going to hold for that reason. Supply is going to be so low with how rare it is on top of that I do not see this dipping under $1000 unless everything else has an insane crash too

I did reach out to Pokemon support about those Vaporeon Umbreon bundles, they confirmed that they do time to time re-release tins with updated packs. I asked further if they would update the pokemon center website images when they do do that, but got no answer. What I figured out in the course of researching this though was that MJ Holdings and Excell (Fairfield) are NOT licensed distributors for the Pokemon company; whereas a lot of people in the community will claim otherwise. Just make sure people know that official pokemon distributors are listed on their website under the support tab, and anything sold by someone outside of that list is a risk for a repackaged or third party product and you should be good to recommend whatever you want without having to worry about it. Personally I think more people should be made aware of that stuff but if I really wanna tell people I'll just make a video. Appreciate you airing on the side of caution tho 🙏 glad I found you before you blow up

Target has a double Vaporeon/Umbreon Tin bundle listed and if you look at the reviews they say it's repacked and had 2 SV Base and 2 Paldea evolved packs inside, but it should've had sword and shield era stuff. So they do sell repacked/sketchy stuff at target
@PokeStokc11 күн бұрын
hey bro. I am looking into it, thanks
@Treestonextra11 күн бұрын
@ I appreciate it. Here's all the info I have; Theres a few people on the subreddits advocating for these boxes and whatnot. I see some people say they refreshed these tins a couple times in 21-23 but what if those people don't know that THEY got a resealed tin? People claim TPC themselves repackaged these tins but I find that hard to believe when the only listing on Pokemon center is sold out and still shows Evolving skies and chilling reign in the tin. I've seen people buy discounted ETBS (prolly like the 38$ shrouded fable one they have listed) and they were open or missing items other than cards. The problem is if a seller isn't listed, that means TARGET THEMSELVES are selling the item(according to Google). Those umbreon Vaporeon tins have no listed seller. So what happened there? I think something weird happened with target specifically when they stopped selling cards for a little bit and that they have a bunch of back stock from third party companies that they couldn't get refunded or send back to the third party; so is now being sold by target. Idk there's alot of options here, either target somehow owns all that product now and is getting rid of it, or they are still working with these third party companies. Either way, I think someone in the community needs to do one big video on Walgreens and target and any other resealed product from the third party companies like Fairfield (Excell) and TJ holdings and stuff. One cohesive video that explains the nature of these products and why all third party products are an inherent risk, highlighting the fact that these third parties are making an effort to confuse the buyer into thinking they are buying an official Pokemon product(sticker placement on the plastic wrap covering the year the tin was released for example) I might end up doing it myself I just don't have the money to waste and I know Walgreens and target wont take the product back even if it's un-opened. If your investigation comes to more conclusive findings or you want to make a video on the topic lmk. Im a rapper but this issue pissed me off and I'll switch focus for a week just to make that video and spread the word if I have to.
@Treestonextra11 күн бұрын
Triple also, sorry for the spam; Excell(also Fairfield) and MJ holdings seem to both have deals with Pokemon Company and retailers alike. From what I can currently find they are the suppliers for most major retailers. But these same companies definitely repack product, buy third party unverified product, and resell it at smaller stores like Walgreens or Target (and Walmart online but never IN store in Walmart). Idk the whole thing is fishy af and probablt requires some tax form deep diving to see who exactly owns who and how many companies are responsible for stocking Pokemon cards.

idk it depends how much they reprint. i do think it’ll go back up to 150ish for a few months until the reprints actually come out, but once they do, it could really tank the price if it’s as insane as they say. if you’re gonna be finding them in stores everywhere it’ll kill it. at that point i’ll pick up as much as I can as a long investment to hold for a few years because it will shoot up again
