Just noticed yesterday that the 19.99 and 29.99 Extreme Value repacks are back at the big box stores (if the other thread(s) weren't over 2 years old I would necro them). Here's what I found in local stores ...
Walmart #1 - nothing
Walmart #2 - 2x 19.99 packs - 2 boosters (Khans and GTC ea), an intro deck and a promo (Genesis Hydra)
Target #1 - 4x 29.99 packs - All had 2 promos (Genesis Hydra and Angelic Skirmisher and either 4 Intro packs from RTR through M12 and M13, or had one of those replaced with a land pack
Target #2 - same as Target #1, except 8x 29.99 packs. Included were mostly the same stuff, though there was one that had the Tibalt half of Sorin v. Tibalt, another had the Sorin half (and had the Sorin as well - first time I'd ever seen that), and another had Monsters half of Heroes vs. Monsters.
In summary ...
No commander decks, no planechase decks and nothing really of note. Buncha junk here, good luck at your respective home store(s).
I ran into these today too at Target. The ones I saw also had the two promos and 4 decks within. The ones I saw had the green clash pack deck as one of them (the one with hydra broodmaster) -- is that valuable at all? The other decks appeared to be intro decks from Journey and Born, ie, not very good.

I think the Hydra one has a Courser of Kruphix... unless that was in Kiora's deck.

Courser was not in a Duel Deck, but in both Clash Packs. The deck with the Hydra Broodmaster (Fury) does indeed contain a Courser. And a Nykthos, for those of you keeping score at home.

I checked out a few of these at the local Target and Wal-Mart today. I noticed the distributor here is including some of those old 6-card packs into the cases. I don't know if that is common for these, but I was pretty happy that I realized before buying any. I thought these normally had a couple full 15-card boosters and not 6-card so I figured I would pass it along.
Anyway, the best I was really able to find was a Sorin v. Tibalt deck across two of the packs, and it didn't seem worth forking all of that money out for, since everything else in them were intro pack decks.

I think the reason they are throwing in the 6 card "gravity packs" is they will ring the store alarm if someone tries to walk off with one where as the other items will not.

I am looking for Date Stamped promos from Khans of Tarkir block so I can finish my set. Check my wants if you have any.
Currently offering 2 non-foil Kolighan's Command for a Date Stamped foil!
Saw some at wal mart today. Interesting the packs were something I have never seen before. They were white with this label. Did a google search but couldn't find anything concrete. Worth buying?

They came with the 7th Edition Starter Game if I recall correctly and they may be set packs in that the contents are known and not random. I would stay away, I have seen them in these packs before as well.

I personally have yet to see anything worthwhile in the newest batch coming out of these places. Unfortunate, but perhaps a sign that the other products wizards has come out with of late have been popular enough to where they haven't needed to be dumped into products like these. Either way, I will continue to keep an eye out barring something new popping up in them around here.

Oh, is that what the pack said? I thought that was your bizarre sig.
Yes, those are from Starter 2000, I believe. They are worthless - known contents, no interesting cards.

They've had these for the past few weeks at our Target, and the first batch was absolute junk, but I checked again today (because why not), and one of them had the Ob Nixis Commander 2014 deck (the rest were all Magic 2014 precon junk). A second one, though, that I ended up grabbing, had:
- the Daretti Commander 2014 deck
- the Jeskai/Cunning portion of the Speed and Cunning Duel Deck (minus the Arcanis foil)
- the blue half of the 2015 Clash pack (including the foil Prophet of Kruphex, Prognostic Sphinx and Temple of Mystery)
- "Cruel Plots" Dragons of Tarkir precon (including the foil Necromaster Dragon)
- The Angelic Skirmisher and Genesis Hydra promo cards
The Daretti Commander deck was either poorly shrink-wrapped, or tampered with, which made my heart sink, figuring I just got screwed and bought a tampered deck, but the Wurmcoil Engine, Daretti, Dualcaster Mage and Feldon were all there, so awesome. So, I basically got three free decks with the purchase of a Commander deck, so they're not all bad.
I'd love a dualcaster mage, Wurmcoil and Daretti. I'll have to be on the lookout for these. Nice grab!

That's a bit strange, dunno as I've ever seen an in-print deck in any of these boxes - let alone 3 in the same one! Nice find.
I was at a Target today and found one with the Primordial Hunger Planechase 2012 intro deck and the Koth half of the Venser vs Koth duel deck. The others just had RTR intro decks in them.
Round 2 has gone out to the stores, this one better than the last. Local Target had boxes with 2013 Commander decks (one each of Power Hungry, Evasive Maneuvers and Eternal Bargain). They do include shrink-wrapped cards that I assume are from the deck-builder's toolkits as they contain no rares and have cards from a bunch of different sets (mine was fronted with a M13 Arbor Elf).
