Excuse me if this is the wrong place or if there is already a thread, but I have not seen this pop up yet.
Just went through the card section at walmart, and in the 3 pack + promo there are terastodons. (Not grave/other, a promo one). I tried checking ebay but there's nothing. Didn't want to pick it up if it was worthless.
Absolutely nothing on google from what I checked. Anyone else seen it?
If your deck is 60 cards then you're playing with the best possible odds. 61? Probably won't alter your odds too much but we all know that 96% pure meth won't cut it next to Heisenberg's 99%.
Yup. Same old art, just has the 5 mana symbols foiled in the text box and a shooting star pack symbol like every other walmart promo.

Yeah so far I don't see anything on SCG, magiccards.info, or eBay related to it. Any idea when they came out? I was at WalMart a few days ago and didn't see them.
I just picked up the three of these that my local Wal-Mart had. Collector number is A6, 2010. Came with packs of M12, Dark Ascension, and Avacyn Restored.

Ooooh. This was the missing one. You guys are so lucky. My Wal Mart still has Retaliation Griffin and Broodmate Dragon.

You guys realize these packs don't just show up at Walmart? You can also find them at Target and Meijer, and probably other big discount department stores.
A little unfortunate that M12 is part of the packs, but oh well I will pick up at least one of these for sure.
Yeah, I was hoping it'd have INN in there so I could hold out a glimmer of hope for a snapcaster. Plus the previous knight exemplar promo was more useful to me.

Broodmates are actually going for like 8 bucks right now so you aren't totally unlucky
No they aren't.
These promos are worth 5 bucks at most. Broodmate used to be worth something for some reason, but has since tanked.
And even then, they are a tough sell.

I know I'm not a "customer" but if I'd have a wal-mart around here I'd be something like pissed... Terastodon? Seriously? No value at all... Everyone allready has up to 10 copies...
No they aren't.

My LGS has the promo at 7 so... Normal broodmates are like .50 and I bought a foil one for legacy for 2 bucks
I don't know who at walmart was convinced that any of the promo's they put on these packs would make magic players want to buy them. A simple internet search to look up the value of a card would yield how well it is going to help you sell those booster packs..........If anything the promo should always be at least a $10-20 rare or more. It makes no sense to put useless crap out as a promo.
I don't think Walmart thinks twice about what is specifically in the packs. I'm certain there are no Walmart execs or even regional managers involved in planning the promos. Those displays are usually stocked by outside companies. There's weird crap that shows up there all the time.
At my Walmart they're selling these bizarre combo deals - it's a hard plastic case that usually has one of the Ravnica-era 75-card tournament packs, a random pre-con from Onslaught or so, and what looks like about 40-80 sleeves, although I'm not sure exactly how many. They ask $20-30 for them, and I've never noticed one actually sell.
(It's actually not an uncommon practice...even the tortilla section at your local supermarket might be maintained by an outside company rather than the store itself.)

They were worth something way back because a few stores ended up putting them out ahead of schedule. So they were both limited supply and "unreleased."

Did you get any good chase rare\mythic out of those packs?

My lcs/lgs has an Ajani, Caller of the Pride for $55. It doesn't make it correct.
On topic, I'm actually not unhappy with this. I hate all the sub sets (Premium Series, Duel Decks, etc) set logo, so I'll probably pick this up and play it instead.

SCG is selling these promos higher than the set foil. Sold mine 2 weeks ago for 2.50
Edit: just looked at the other promos of this type and man SCG has these promos a good $2 above their set foil counterparts.
Edit#2: Btw, how many of these are there supposed to be and is this an ongoing promo through the major retail stores?

It sounds like your LGS is on the expensive side of things. SCG is selling them for $4.99. I'm sure they're even less on eBay.
