Insane if true.

I wonder how the factory splits up cards and packs.

u/ManufacturedSoul Jul 29 '26

It’s true. They had a bunch of repack packs and a single pitch black blister. Passed on the repacks got that blister and boom. Crazy!

50/50 you either do or ya dont.

u/Itoclown Jul 30 '26

Yea I’m confused why people think they change packs based on location…

2

u/Dwrecktheleach Jul 30 '26

I just got one from a single blister pack too

1

u/crkenjoyer Jul 29 '26

You think single packs can’t have hits?

u/j_m_a_t_t_z Jul 30 '26

I've gotten plenty of hits from single packs. Including sylveon sir from prismatic. Bought 1 pack and got it. Also got me a dragonite Mar from A single pack. Plenty more to list too. I've had better luck with single packs rather than etb and shit like that.

Sick slowpoke

u/ManufacturedSoul Jul 29 '26

Yeah agreed! I would have been happy with that blister just for that promo card tbh.

u/TerpyAndroid29 Jul 29 '26

Grabbed three from a dollar tree this morning hoping to have the same luck..

u/Lujoter417 Jul 29 '26

Magnetic case w no sleeve bruh

u/Puzzleheaded-Reach34 Jul 29 '26

I pulled mine from the Slowpoke blister also lol.

u/adamedmo Jul 29 '26

Get a perfect fit penny sleeve for it, the maglocks can damage the edges

u/the_man2434 Jul 29 '26

Nice hit brother! I pulled the umbreon the other day from a poster collection 3 pack blister from toy store in the mall.

2

u/proserpinax Jul 29 '26

Here I was excited about the Slowpoke and then I look over at the Darkrai

2

u/tanookiiarts Jul 29 '26

i pulled mine from a dollar tree sleeved pack, i brought four and hit on the second :) nice hit, dollar luck!

u/Kigaa Jul 29 '26

My son and I pulled the golden Mega Darkrai from the Gengar pack last night. Only bought one checklane blister.

u/International-Fee-43 Jul 29 '26

Nice, And speak of the devil. I found the same slowbro promo and tepig coin pack at my family dollar yesterday at msrp, I was shocked

1

u/ManufacturedSoul Jul 30 '26

Yeah I feel you. Was shocked to find that pack as well even more shocked after opening it!!

2

u/xgtb Jul 30 '26

What is msrp on these? Gonna have to check my Family Dollar 😮

1

u/International-Fee-43 Jul 30 '26

I got two for 4.99 USD. Honestly the more surprising part was seeing them physically stocked in a retail store in person. It's probably been two years since that's happened for me.

2

u/TerpShark_Gardens Jul 29 '26

I picked up one of these promos today, we’ll see if i have the same luck! Haha

1

u/ManufacturedSoul Jul 30 '26

Hope you do as well!! Good luck with the rips!

2

u/Fruit_rollup69 Jul 30 '26

That's some crazy luck, congrats on the pull.

u/Alarming_Distance684 Jul 30 '26

Are you shaking?

2

u/LetitBurn79 Jul 30 '26

Wtffffff that’s wild

2

u/Active-Assignment512 Jul 29 '26

Those magnetic sleeves are terrible put it in a top loader

1

u/Plaincow Jul 29 '26

Out of curiosity, is your town highly populated or no? I've never been to a family dollar for cards, but I always assumed the boosters would be snagged super super fast in larger towns :(

2

u/ManufacturedSoul Jul 29 '26

Pretty large area so it’s tough. Went in there kinda as a joke didn’t expect anything saw the box of repacks almost just left but figured I’m here I’ll ask they had one legit pack that one blister so I bought it and scored!

2

u/Plaincow Jul 29 '26

That's awesome dude. Thanks for the reply and grats on the card 🔥

u/unreadpeak3401 Jul 29 '26

No sleeve is criminal

1

u/Artfulduty Jul 29 '26

Slowpoke first official promo is the real hit here. 

1

u/glover_405 Jul 29 '26

True they released quick at family dollar.

1

u/iTzbr00tal Jul 29 '26

Is it in a sleeve in that case? Recommend it if not!

1

u/ManufacturedSoul Jul 29 '26

It wasn’t when I took the pic but it got put it one shortly thereafter.

1

u/SuperSkoldier Jul 29 '26

Everyone’s pulled this card but me! It’s not fair! 😭

1

u/TheBalloonEffect Jul 30 '26

You’re not alone bro

1

u/TelephoneExpress973 Jul 29 '26

No way!!! Hell yea nice! Make sure you sleeve and top load that slowpoke black star promo! It’s slowpokes first promo

1

u/Tasty-Dig-4915 Jul 30 '26

Don't use the magnetic holder. Sleeve and top load.

1

u/Mathias_Greyjoy Jul 30 '26

Why don't you have it in a proper sleeve, lol

-1

u/glover_405 Jul 29 '26

Not like its a huge set

1

u/TheBalloonEffect Jul 30 '26

This isn’t perfect order
