Or, head out to your local big box store. Look in the cards section. If there are no gaming cards, head to eBay. If there are gaming cards, then you might find a plastic blister pack with a shiny promo cards showing.
My local Wal*Mart doesn't ever stock Magic, so I pretty much head straight to eBay.

Along with many mods, I've moved shop over to MTGNexus. Come check us out!
If I find one, I will sell/trade it to you at a fair price.
I am sorry if this has been asked before, but do other big box stores have these? My Wal-Mart gets products quite slowly.
I often find these at Target. As a matter of fact, I have never found the Knight exemplar promo at Walmart, only target and Sunblast Angel was at Walmart but not Target. Kmart sometimes gets them in; that's where I found broodmate dragon. So far no luck on Terrastadon

I was in WM lastnight and didn't see them out yet. Still have nothing but Knight Exemplar in stock. Not too interested in those.
I might actually grab one of these Terastodons, though. It might just be because I got one into play with Telemin Performance playing Jace's deck in DotP2013 the other day.

No new promos at the Walmart I was at yesterday. They did have one that instead of showing the front of the promo card it showed the back. Anyone seen that before?

It was pretty common before the flood of Broodmates this Spring.
A lot of them are random cards from the Premium Deck Series - I've gotten foil lightning bolts and foil mountains. Other people have reported just random (non-promo) foils.
Yeah, looks like AEIOU has set the standard on these (dude you should have went $15 to cover extra costs like gas, time, ebay fees, etc.) Hah.
Heh. Well, it's not like I went to Walmart solely for these...the wife and I go there every other weekend for routine shopping, and I usually keep my eyes open for things like this/various in demand decks -- just happened to catch these this time.
But yes, I assume the 3x auction ended at around ~$30 simply because buyers weren't going to be comfortable bidding much higher than that with 2 other copies selling for $10. If I had sold it for $15, the auction likely would have gone to $40-50. Had I tried to sell it for higher, I risk being undercut by another seller or having more copies flood eBay before the listing ended. Those are the advantages and disadvantages of selling the first copy. I'm not going to complain, though...I already have free listings and reduced fees, so it still ended up paying for the packs -- and I was able to unload my others for decent value as well. Now I'll just have to wait and see if these get restocked regularly.
EDIT: And it looks like another copy sold for $20. That's just silly. Sunblast Angel, I could understand, because at least it's an Angel...but these simply won't be rare for that long.
It's a nightmare being a promo collector outside the US.
Are these packages from WToC?
No they are a third party distributor. You can get them at target as well. I saw a few near the walmart in houston. I think the promo you get depends on where you live. I used to see Knight Exemplars all the time in target near williamsburg but there are none down here.
I just picked up one of these the other day with the Griffin foil at my local Wal-Mart. A got a M12, INN, and a Scars booster. The INN booster was cool. 2 Mythics and one Rare in a single booster!
Got a Grafdigger's Cage in the regular rare spot, a Huntmaster of the Fells as the flippy, and a foil Archangel's Light. Not the most impressive cards, but probably the only time in my life that I will get 2 Mythics and a Rare in a single booster!
Just grabbed a Terrastadon pack yesterday. It had DKA, AVR, and M12, Which netted me Sorin Markov, Revenge of the Hunted, Flayer of the Hatebound, AND a foil Mikaeus the Unhallowed. No complaints here.
how come every time one of these promo threads crops up it just turns into people saying they picked it up, and then listing the rares they pulled from the boosters as if being included with a promo magically increased the chances of getting good/chase rares/mythics?
i've opened crappy packs out of these, i've opened good packs out of these. they're just packs. the same as any other.
anyway, i'm glad i snagged one of these. the walmart here had about 10 on the peg, i took 1. the next day the other 9 were gone along with all the venser/koths from the duel decks.

Wow, what would it take for you to consider that DKA booster more impressive?
Two Huntmasters and a Sorin?
That sounds like a great pack to me... I would certainly be impressed!

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.
Ive never seen these at target and meijer is not found in every state, so walmart is my only option.
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.
I litterally ended up with 11 of the knight examplar as it was all target had and i couldnt pass up a promo and 3 packs of cards. pretty much 5$ for 3 packs of cards

I don't know where you guys are finding this stuff, I went to all of my local shops (walmart, target, toys r us) and only found some dark ascension and avacyn packs and the 2012 deckbuilder's toolkit.
While I disagree with the first point I agree with everything else
I did not say Terrastodon is a bad card itself, I'm more saying like "oh no not again..." Just to many reprints of this card in the short past...
I would like/prefer Wolfbriar Elemental (especially since we've had lot's of werewolfes and synergies from T2), Butcher of Malakir, Marshal's Anthem , Kazuul, Tyrant of the Cliffs, Thada Adel, Acquisitor or Basilisk Collar. Guess/hope you agree here
Hah. Yeah, I think if you can get $10 from it then that is more than enough. That's what I did with a Sunblast Angel promo ($15 free shipping.)
Going to Walmart now to take a look.

I mean, I can never - N.E.V.E.R. - find these things in stores, but eBay is generally pretty kind.

I don't think anyone is ever going to risk spending $100-200 on these for the foreseeable future.

of course, because they are just booster packs. there isn't some guy resealing these things, wotc isn't shipping ones with more rares anywhere.
