Got mine yesterday in the Greater Toronto Area, they where mixed in with some of the other promos and some that where turned around backwards in the pack, bought a couple of those to see what they where and they where sunblast angels (blech) but i ended up picking up 2 Terastodons for 16$ + tax
Saw a bunch of Broodmate Dragon ones at both of the local Wal Marts while hunting for PC2012 Ninja decks, but I passed on them. No thanks to a $3 promo card + 3 packs full of jank for $10. I'd rather go buy singles.
I usually pull pretty well in those promo packs.
The distributor takes broken cases (from blister packs, fat packs, intro packs) from the retailers and repackages them, which usually means you have a higher likelihood of getting some mythics (due to the probability of mythics in fat packs.)
They do the same thing with the "2 boosters, 8 random cards" thing. The 8 random cards are highly likely to be loose foil cards or big cards from intro packs, duel decks, and premium deck series.
I was in Walmart tonight and the whole row was Terastodon and 1 of the old griffin promos. If anyone in the pittsburgh area is interested, it was the Walmart on Rt8 north of Pittsburgh (Gibsonia/Pine Twp area).
I think you misunderstood me. The only good rares out of my boosters was Messenger, the others were uninteresting.
no. i didn't. you're not understanding that htey're just boosters. good. bad. doesn't matter. they're packs. like any other.
