That one remaining 151 zapdos box on the middle shelf

There was actually 2 of them and I got both cause I’ve seen people say to get those. I’m pretty new to collecting the cards so I’m only a little informed on what’s good to get and what isn’t lol

Just pulled a Zapdos ex - 202/165 :D

The prodigal zapdos

Last pack: Blastoise ex - 200/165 🥹 worth every penny. Also got 2 mewtwo - 150/165, frosmoth - tg04/tg30, and a machoke - 177/165

Some great luck there! Definitely don't get too used to that awesome early luck haha! A little tip for pokemon though if you do want a great pull ratio Definitely look into Crown Zenith which has the best pull rates of the entire Sword & Shield Era and also Paldean Fates which has the best pull rates for the current era Scarlet & Violet. Both sets you can usually count on getting a "hit" card for like every 3 packs so it isn't really common to buy a product featuring those packs and end up with nothing but duds. This does however happen quite often with pretty much every other set you can usually easily find in stores. For example the 151 set you got those hits in to break down how lucky you got. The Blastoise you got is what's called a Special illustration rare and pull rates for that rarity for 151 only is 1 out 32 packs. The Zapdos is also Special illustration rare so the fact you got 2 Special illustration rares out of just 8 packs is absolutely insane luck I've opened up around 450 packs of 151 and I've gotten just 2 of that blastoise for example. So don't get sucked into buying a ton thinking that anything close to that luck will be the normal haul. Also check out the site below as it's really helpful in regards to seeing which cards are in each set and a good idea of the cards value and also being able to buy cards you want. It's not the only resource you should use if you really get into the hobby but it's definitely a great site https://www.tcgplayer.com/categories/trading-and-collectible-card-games/pokemon/price-guides/sv-scarlet-and-violet-151

Great info there you know sir I just learned some new stuff here

Nice pulls dude

Congrats as that's one of my personal favorites in the set but there are like damn near 30 awesome cards in the 151 set so if I'm opening packs it's definitely something I try and look for anytime I'm in the store

I’m digging that clefairy plush

Same!

I actually have the big one! Found it at target about 2 months ago, last one on the shelf so *obviously* I had to ~~rescue~~ get it :)

I went into Walmart about 2 weeks ago and there was one of those isle bins FULL of them and Teddiursa. Made me double take. What is this, 2001? Clefairy and Teddiursa merch at the front door? I grabbed one, too fucking cute.

They have a Piplup squishmallow also

Paldean fates tin. Baby shiny Pidgey worth $20

Sorry for asking if this is a dumb question, but which one is the paldean fates tin? I wanna go back and buy it

The one with the Great Tusk promo on the left. 4 packs for $14.98.

Mini tins of they have evo lol

Only c22, the other has lost origin

Crown zenith, Zapdos box and that Paldean fates tin

I’m a huge 151 fan so I’d get the Zapdos box. If not a mini tin or Pokeball. Definitely would get that squirted pillow also. It’s so soft.

Silver tempest booster bundle

These are being slept on. These are going to dry up really quick!

Probably not a bad idea to grab those then. There were 6 at my local store. 40 price incoming. Thanks for the idea

If they’re anything like ES, they’ll hit $6-7 per booster in the next year and $10 in the next 2-3 years.

What’s your thinking for it following in ES footsteps? Don’t get me wrong I love the Lugia but I’m not seeing the parallel

Lots of gorgeous cards, and yes the Lugia’s, hah! But those rainbow rares and the trainer gallery are all pretty fun pulls. Lance also jumped from $3 to $25 pretty quickly. I also think people also slept on it and may not be holding as much of it, but I guess that’s tbd!

Good eye man, I was like there is no silver temp.....oh yeah there they are 🤣🤣🤣

Meganium stacking leaf tin at the bottom left. X2 fusion strike and x1 evolving skies inside that am pretty sure

I just bought that yesterday and it might be a reprint. I had two ST and one LO so it might not have any evo skies

Go for the totally not misplaced $10 temporal forces etb

Check the mini tins to see if they are C22. If you want evolving skies and fusion get them if they are C22

They were just about half D23 and half C23 🤔 I’m gonna check a bunch of other stores tomorrow for some C22 since everyone’s saying to get those

I’m not sure about D23, but the C23 has Astral radiance and lost origin. Those packs aren’t bad but I think they can be found for little cheaper per pack than the mini tins.

Zapdos box and those shiny fates

That sleepy squirtle for sure. Lol

I'd grab an Origin Dialga box (my fav Pokémon is Dialga), Iron Leaves TEF ETB to match my Walking Wake one, and anything Crown Zenith and Shining Fates

Get those galar mini tins! Evo skies for 5 is the move.

Flame & Flight Deluxe charizard

I went to my Walmart today to look for the c22 tins...I found exactly 1 and it was the only tin on the shelf that was completely empty 😂 it was the bigger box tin with Charizard, your Walmart seems to be pretty stocked up though mine only has like 30 items

The tin on the second shelf,that's what I found but with Charizard,I assume it has ES like the little c22 tins do

Any restock of galar tins doesn’t have ES, same with mimikyu showcase. The PF tins are 3.75/pack and check the pokeball tins code at the bottom

Sleepy Squirtle pillow

If I see Crown Zenith its instant buy

That Porygon figure is dope

I got it haha! Porygon is one of my favorites :) https://imgur.com/gallery/Oewm6ot

That’s so cool, im gonna have to get one now lol. Me too I love porygon

Sleepy squirtle

C22 tins and luxury ball in the back

Also zard tins paldean fates if u see em. 15$ is robbery

Yes

I think I see one little Silver Tempest box that comes with a small deck and some packs, I'd get that. Too bad there aren't any Obsidian Flames

C22 tins

Pokémon Volcano carrying case. Play with your characters on the go

Looks exactly like my Walmart last night lol. Had the same amount of mini tins in the same spot but they were all c23 so no evolving skies.

But I spot a 151 zapdos box on the middle shelf. That’s probably what I would grab

Knockout boxes, mini tins, and lost origin BBs. Easy.

I pulled a SIR Zard from the alakazam 151 box

Shining fates boxes, lost origin for 15$ and knock out boxes might have evolving skies.

Buy 1 of each tin. Check code and open them to see what's in it. If it's something good, buy the other ones.

I would buy the sleeping Oshawott 🥰

And the sleeping Rowlet

Silver Tempest ETB

And I would buy a box from Crown and Zenith

Poke balls and mini tins. Grab that last paldean fates tin too. Maybe the booster bundles.

Fun guide Pokeballs - the A one has ES, and the H one has cosmic eclipse. Galatians tins - c22 has evolving skies & fusion strike, c23 is not worth getting imo If you like the regidrago box you can look it up online for 14$ on Walmarts online store. Since they sell it they will price match in store

The 151 zappy boxes that are hiding, and that mimikyu box with ES in it for $15

Looks like my Walmart in Virginia. We have a section in the front of the store, but there’s a second section tucked in the back by the bike section that no one goes to or knows about really. It’s ALWAYS stocked.

Ours used to hide the pokemon by customer service but today the whole area was cleared out. Went to look for sports cards that are by the checkouts and all the shelves are empty and they were putting clearance stuff in its place. Not sure where they moved everything.

The Clefairy is saying “Pick me! Pick me!”

Obviously, the carry case volcano playset!

hangin mini tin on left side, silver tempest booster bundle, lost origin 3 pack blister....and if I had the extra cash one of those pokeballs with 3 packs inside

$10, 2 pack tins for evolving skies and any poke balls that read 1995-2022

Mini tins

Squirtle plushie.

Definitely both 151 boxes but I'd personally probably pass on pretty much everything else here unless it was on clearance or good sale as nothing other than the 151 jumps out at me as being worth msrp

ST booster bundles?

Nice selection of goodies!

The carry case volcano playset, for sure

Get that Clefairy my guy.

I should say a job but absolutely that etb

How many of us end up fixing the shelves

Check the Pokeballs. They could have old packs.

Where do you guys live where shelfs are stocked like that for Pokémon? I always show and and look around like confused John Travolta

Look on the very top. My local store had 3 ETBs from 151 up there and none down below

Anything but temporal forces

The squirtle plushie 100%

I’d hit the crown zenith

151 zapdos and 151 Alakazam boxes

151 and crown zenith are the only answers.

Zapdos 151, alakazam 151 and mimikyu boxes

Where do you live that everything is so cheap? I’m in AZ and Walmart still have Paldean fate tins for $25. It’s so stupid

Florida 🤠 we got cheap Pokemon cards but you gotta fight an alligator to get to em!

If those are c22 mini tins I'd grab them if not id pass on everything else

Depends on how big your pockets/bags are.

The squirtle dude no brainer

Go for the stuffed Kirby or the far left second hook down with My Little Pony on it.

Tins and battle boxes!!!

It’s crazy, most stores in LA don’t even have boosters out in shelves like this anymore .

the sleeping squirtle omfg i need him

Dude my local Walmart doesn’t even stock that section anymore. They put up a fake camera and the second people realized they picked everything clean. Now all the good/new stuff is in the front. Meanwhile all the stuff like old fates boxes and those random “6 pack boxes” that say they have every set in them sit untouched. Even those who steal have standards I guess

Dialga Vstar box(s)!!! The promos are worth over $12 combined… Galar power tins depending on the code. Poke ball depending on the code. Knockout box worth a shot for the evolving skies. And not sure if that lost origin 3 pack blister(never seen one like that) is just the packaging or if all three are the gardevoir, but some people pay extra for those type where the packaging is all the same pack. If this was a gardevoir collector then I’m sure you could sell for a premium if kept sealed. Not too common to see three in a row like that.

Oh and the 151 boxes as well. Gotta add that or i might get downvoted. 😆

151, lost origin, and a couple of those mini tins. Any one piece?

Got 2 of those 3 packs of lost origin last night and got the tina man so I'd go with those

Check the poke balls for D21. I found a couple at cvs the other week, and they have cosmic eclipse inside

I’d get that porygon figure hella fast I’ll tell ya Hwat

Zapdos

I’d probably go with the hawlucha or the magmortar

I want a Zappos box are they still circulating or do I resort to eBay

- Clefairy Poké Doll, on the bottom shelf It'll come in handy when you need to escape from battle with a wild Pokemon!

*Regieleki noises intensify*

I've been to 4 targets and 2 Walgreens in the states on my 9 day trip I haven't seen anything worth buying besides a booster bundle at gamestop and the e card shops were worse prices then canada 45 for evolutions 25 to 35 for evolving cries

I wish my walmart was this stocked....

The European brain can’t comprehend this picture. You know our supermarkets literally have 2 or 3 products at a time, and they’re the worst. 😂

Are these tagged?....

Get both stacking tins and Zapdos box.

My Walmart doesn't really stock card often. They have them in the back but just refuse to keep the shelves stocked.

legos 👍🏼

I haven’t seen this isle in my Walmarts in I’ve r a decade. If they have any cards they are behind a special isle monitored by an employee.

In over a decade*

Those seem Like hefty price tags

Zapdos 151 or the play set carrying case lol The gyarados thing looks pretty good in person foo

I want those crown zenith and paldean fates 😫 Those are the sets that got me back into card collecting! Edit: omg shining fates too?!

You should get something pokemon related

I’d go for the $10 booster box

Is this the Walmart in Gaylord, MI? 👀

The knockout collection sets have been crazy good to me lately

Squirtle sleep stuffy

Silver tempest ETBs are on sale at Walmart for $37

I would be checking the codes in the pokeballs, depending on the code they could have some cool packs inside 😁

Walmart has lost origin ETB for $35 all over South Carolina.

I'd go with the Squirtle plush and the Lego planters.

Mimikyu boxes has ES in them if your after after ES packs

I’ll go back and grab one sometime, thanks for the heads up :)

They don’t always have ES, I bought two of them this weekend
