So, I had banked a bunch of store credit with a shop and that's what I used to get all these packs. Had I not done that and just paid out in cash however, it would be roughly around $550-600 in packs. And, that's if you did it as a pre-order, once this set got closer to drop the price for the specific product I got the packs from went hella up (I pre-ordered a bunch of booster bundles which are these little boxes with 6 packs in them for $26 MSRP. Stores started charging $35-40 per booster bundle a week before release).
Normally I would have just grabbed booster boxes because that's so much cheaper in the end, but because this is a special "holiday" set there are no booster boxes. Again, because TPC is the super mega devil.
Also, this is the mew card you could pull in the Japanese version but not the english. Imagine how hyped it would have been to pull one of these
Instead, you gamble on getting a damaged one because they package their promo's so terribly :)
Also, also, I was serious that you didn't need to upvote or anything, man. Appreciate it nonetheless, you cutie.
I was thinking of you when I saw they turned the MEW full art into a promo card. Right now you have to drop 120 USD to get the box set with it in it, but I have been seeing it selling online for 15-25$.
Yeah, if you see the promo I posted and decide you want one you'd be better off just buying one off ebay for $20, Acid. Mine came damaged with a dent at the top and my metal Mew promo came misaligned on the back and looks super scuffed. I've been waiting to hear back from TPC if they'll let me swap them out. Lets gooo.
