I recently found a classic pack with two decks, 100 sleeves, and a really nice acrylic container. The sleeves are two different types and from what i could tell there are only two options of decks; 'Timespiral Tournament Pack', and 'Onslought Bait and Switht', OR 'Onslought Ivory Doom', and a 'Classic 6th starter".
Note: one set of fifty sleeves doesn't look like it fits propper, like they are too tall for the box.
I picked one up today just to show you guys that they are out there. I got mine in Mesa,Az.
Another question I have is the rare distribution in the tournament pack might be skewed. I don't have a source so don't quote me on that.
They are Thirty bucks though. And I am seriously considering returning it. Yeah i want the time spiral cards, but not 30 deollars bad.

Yeah, people were talking about this already. Probably didn't need to purchase it and take a picture just to tell people it exists...these kinds of things (random Walmart packs) pop up all the time. Depending on the quality of the sleeves, you could likely do worse for $30.
Sometimes tournament packs are worth the effort, esp it's a good set. I know people mentioned there are Onslaught ones in some of these... however with it being such a huge set, there is no promise of there being fetches.
Tournament packs will have 3 rares, 16 uncommons, and then a crap ton of commons with i think 5 lands of each color? Not a bad deal, I used to pick them up all the time. It's a matter of what the set has that's worth money. 6th edition has pretty meh rare value (Wrath, Vampiric Tutor, and Lord of Atlantis are the big ones really), but it does have the full tutor suite at uncommon plus some of the reasonable priced hate cards like Perish. Time Spiral is a little better on the rare front, there are more $5+ cards and a smaller number of rares, but it lacks any real value uncommons other than Krosan Grip.
The Onslaught decks are both pretty jank. Neither comes with any card worth more than a dollar.
Honestly, if you want some nostalgia fun and got the spare cash to toss out, I'd snag the 6th Edition one. Small chance for a little bit of money, but otherwise some great overall cards.

Onslaught are theme decks, not Starters...

I found some at a walmart near me. There was a pretty random assortment of Precon decks paired with either a 6th edition tournament pack or a Time Spiral tournament pack.
The decks I was were
Celestial Assault (Onslaught)
Whirlpool (Apocalypse)
Burial(Apocalypse)
Eruption (Nemesis)
Replicator (Nemesis)
Rebel's Call (Mercadian Masques)
Trounce-o-Matic (Odyssey)
Sky Slam (7th Edition)
I looked up the decklists for all of them on the phone, and then decided that even though I'm probably getting ripped off, the tournament packs still look exciting to open so I got the Burial Deck (mainly for Phyrexian Arena) and took a gamble with the 6th edition pack that came with it. I didn't get anything good, but I wouldn't have bought it if I was expecting to.
Both precons and tournament packs exist for Onslaught.
In these double deck thingies at Wal-Mart? I've only heard of the Onslaught being precons.

too bad you can't get 2 Starters (Tournament Packs)... might make it only a slight rip off with at least some good nostalgia.

Also the case it comes in is indeed pretty nice.
