So yesterday I went to Target and noticed they had a bunch of 2012 Fall tins out, I had bought a Mewtwo in the past but wanted to get Rayquaza and Darkrai.

I didn't get them, but then today I went back and they had been picked over, there was only one Rayquaza tin left.

My rares in the Rayquaza tin

Tornadus Full Art #3
Volcarona
Infernape
Togekiss Reverse
Zapdos Ex

So 2 ex's and a holo in one tin.

My rares in the Darkrai tin Bisharp, Uxie, Skarmory, Sharpedo rev and Braviary.

CrazyElectrode March 9th, 2014 4:40 PM

I also went to target and got 5 plasma blast booster packs. Here is the rares I pulled.
Suicune........ reverse Holo
Froslass
kyurem EX
golurk Holo rare
Reuniclus
Porygon Z holo Rare
Masterball......... What i think is a Reverse Holo witch is pretty cool.

for only 5 packs these were really good pulls. I really like pretty much everything that I got for rares, except for maybe the frosslass, but that is still a pretty good pull as I dont have one yet. My favorite card this time is the masterball, just a great card with almost no drawbacks.

CrazyElectrode March 11th, 2014 2:49 PM

Well, here are 5 more plasma blast packs.

Rares
-Uxie
-Mesprit Holo Rare
-Accelgor
-Cradily
-Carracosta
-Escavalier Reverse Holo

Well with these 5 packs, that puts me up to 1 pack short of a booster box worth. Over all the pulls from these 5 packs were ok, nothing to special, though I really like the Reverse holo Escavalier, seeing how much I like Metal types in the card game.

Maserati777 March 11th, 2014 4:36 PM

Got some packs from Walmart today

I got a 3 pack with a Storm, Blast and HSUndaunted pack

My rares were Sharpedo, Mespirit Holo and Scizor Holo from HSUndaunted

Then I got a Deoxys Tin, I got a Kingdra Holo, Suicune, Haxorus Holo, Porygon Z Rev, Druddigon Rev and a Lugia Ex

I also got 4 XY packs, nothing to note except Furfrou and Gourgeist Rev.

I also got 5 Plasma Blast packs and again nothing to note except a Haxorus Rev and a Sigilyph Holo.


New cards include Haxorus Holo, Haxorus Rev(Didn't get either of these in the booster box/numerous packs), Lugia Ex, Furfrou, Sigilyph, Gourgeist Rev, Druddigon Rev and all of the Undaunted cards even though I don't collect them I do keep one pack from any set I don't collect so glad it was this one. I'm contemplating getting another Booster box, if I did it would probably either be Next Destinies, Plasma Storm, Dargons Exalted or another Plasma Blast.

CrazyElectrode March 13th, 2014 9:04 PM

Well I went back to the store that had the cards on sale and they had 9 more plasma blast packs avaiable, so i bought them and here is what I pulled. This will be my last time buying plasma blast packs btw, so here is hopeing I get something good.

Here are the rares.
Mesprit reverse
Azelf Reverse
Masquerain Reverse
Volcaronia Reverse
Frosslass Reverse

Frosslass X2
Volcaronia
Blastoise Holo Rare
uxie
machamp Holo Rare
Houndoom Holo Rare
reuniclus
and the final pack of plasma blast I pulled........palkaia Ex

Well for being the final round of plasma blast packs that I will buy, I pulled pretty good cards here. Really like the blastoise, Houndoom, Volcaronia, Frosslass Reverse and of course, the Palkia Ex.

now for a overall review of all my pulls from this set. i pulled a total of 1 Full art card, Dialgia: 3 Ex cards, Jarachi Ex, Palkia Ex, and kyruim ex, I pulled 1 Ace Spec card, masterball, and all of those cards are incredible, jarachi in my opinion is the weakest of them all though and kinda hard to use, for being an ex that is.

Here is the stuff I never pulled, Excludeing Full arts and Ultra Rares that is.Virizon Ex, Genesect Rare, geneseet Ex, Wartortle uncommon, Elektross Holo Rare, Aggron Rare, Salamance Holo Rare, Daliga Ex, G Booster Ace Spec, G scope Ace Spec, and Scoop Up Cyclone Ace Spec. Really confused as to why I never pulled a Wartortle, and I really would of liked to pull some kind of Genesect as well.

Maserati777 March 14th, 2014 12:42 PM

Got a Xerneas tin and got an Yveltal ex, I have two full arts but was looking for the regular version. Also got a Blastoise Holo and an Emolga full art from the LT.

DarkRaichu80 March 16th, 2014 5:17 PM

Was at my local conventoin, Planet Comicon, and bought 5 packs of EX Power Keepers:

Pack 1:
Rare Omastar
Reverse Holo Zangoose

Pack 2:
Shiftry EX
Reverse Holo Root Fossil HP 40

Pack 3:
Salamence EX
Reverse Holo Pichu

Pack 4:
Rare Pichu
Reverse Holo Charmander

Pack 5:
Rare Blaziken
Reverse Holo Water Energy

donavannj March 16th, 2014 6:15 PM

My XY pack count without an EX is up to 30 now after buying the Xerneas and Yveltal tins as well as the pin blister packs of those two.

Xerneas tin did give me an Ace Spec and Victini EX, though, and the Yveltal tin did give me another Ace Spec and a full art Emolga. Both of the Ace Spec ones were the Genesect onces, mind.

It's always nice when you find an ex series booster containing an ex card during this time, especially 2 out of 5 :D

DarkRaichu80 March 17th, 2014 2:01 PM

Bought an Xerneas tin:

Plasma Blast:
Rare Escavalier
Ace Spec G Scope

Legendary Treasures:
Thundurus Holo

XY: (1)
Rare Dugtrio
Reverse Holo Grumpig (rare)

XY: (2)
Rare Vivillon (holo)
Reverse Holo Zoroark (rare)

Kinda blah pulls but at least nabbed an Ace Spec and the reverse holos were rares.

Maserati777 March 18th, 2014 4:34 PM

Went to Target and Walmart and got two Tins and 8 XY packs and something happened to me that I didn't think was possible, like one in a million.

Decided to give Darkrai another chance, my rares were a Scoop Up Cyclone Ace spec, Metagrosss Rev, and the rest were Non-holo rares. So probably won't get anymore of these.

The Yveltal Tin was more interesting, I got a Keldeo Ex and a Cobalion Rev in Legendary Treasures, also a Master Ball Ace Spec which was the only ace spec I was missing from Plasma Blast. But this wasn't the interesting part.

My commons in the first XY pack were ...... My uncommons were Volbeat, Shauna, Whirlipede, Fairy Garden, Delcatty, Diggersby Rev, Team Flare Grunt, Braixen and Evosoda and my rare was Simipour. Yes, I got 9 Uncommons and 1 Rare. My second time getting 4 trainers in one pack, 1st time getting 4 non holo trainers. I got my Xerneas Tin there and this didn't happen. I actually didn't notice at first, I skimmed through them as I usually do and noticed a trainer second in the pack and thought I did the trick wrong, but thought I was crazy for a minute, then relooked and checked each rating. I thought I didn't get a rare at all for a minute, very strange.


My rare in the second pack was Grumpig and my uncommons were Diggersby, Kakuna, Fairy Garden, Sableye, Corsola, Whirlipede Rev, Super Potion, Quilladin and Evosoda.
So from XY I got 18 uncommons in one XY tin.

In the 8 XY packs my rares

1. Arbok
2. Emolga Ex #2
3. Rhyperior
4. Gogoat
5. Conkeldurr, Aromatisse Rev
6. Starmie, Tauros Rev
7. Swellow
8. Xerneas Ex #2 and Greninja Rev

That is a ridiculously odd pack you had there for your first XY pack of this group. 9 uncommons? Was the line crew sleeping on the job? :P

"Congrats" on the second Emolga EX. :P

DarkRaichu80 March 19th, 2014 11:50 AM

Been kinda blah pulls. Out of like 19 boosters, only one EX has been pulled: EmolgaEX. Zaaaaaaaap!

Necrum March 19th, 2014 3:35 PM

Picked up my first booster pack in what feels like forever. And while it's nothing amazing, I was happy to find a reverse holo Malamar, one of my favorite new Pokemon. I actually got it in one of the new coin blisters that came with a Salamence card. The rare card was Scolipede, which is another one I love, and I pulled a Spritzee so it was a happy booster pack all around.

Maserati777 March 21st, 2014 1:12 PM

Went back to the Target I got the tins before, got another Yveltal tin, I filmed myself opening the tin and the packs and it happened again, of course I needed proof, my cards in

XY pack 1: Lunatone, Inkay(74), Fletchinder, Herdier, Super Potion, Bibarel Rev, Swellow, Inkay(74), Fletchinder and Herdier

So I got a rare reverse meaning you could supposedly get a common reverse in these packs, I just happened to get two uncommon revs in the previous tin, it seems this proves rares and revs are put in separately.
It also seems less likely to get a holo rare in these packs as I got 4 non-holo rares in 2 tins from XY. But I'm not positive.

I also got doubles in this pack which didn't happen in the first two packs. This pretty much confirms my idea that some cards are in "one part of the factory" and other cards are in another meaning you may get certain packs with the same commons in them and once in a while find a pack with different commons that aren't so common. I had Inkay 74, Fletchinder and Herdier in the same order twice in the same pack so these three must be paired up often.

Pack 2: Doublade, Team Flare Grunt, Gurdurr, Great Ball, Ledian, Yveltal Rev(Needed this one), Rhydon, Ledian, Diggersby and Corsola


So these tins are great for players, not so great for collectors like me so I won't be buying anymore at least not from this Target. Not that I need more commons, just the rare ratio doesn't seem great to me.

I haven't opened the rest, the other two packs, 4 XY boosters and another tin from 2013, so will post later on those.

Edit: Opened the others and only thing to note is a Blastoise ex, looking for full arts of Blastoise and Venusaur and think I'm close to finding them.

Well at least you got blastoise ex. And i got two new xy packs
The noteworthy card was a holo chesnaught.

Maserati777 March 23rd, 2014 1:29 PM

Today I went to Walmart and got 4 Plasma Freeze Boosters, also a Rayquaza Tin and a Mewtwo Tin

In the 4 Freeze packs I got a Ghetsis Full Art
Also a Beedrill, a Zekrom Holo, a Metagross Reverse(Think this is my third reverse of this with no regulars, this also happened with Ditto), Sableye and Glaceon Rev.
There was maybe 8 packs on the hook and I took 6 from the back I actually put a couple packs back...

In the Rayquaza tin my rares

Zapdos Ex, Garbodor Rev
Snorlax, Ludicolo Rev
Quagsire, Dragonite Rev
Masquerain, Aggron Rev
So all rare reverses, thats the first time thats happened.

The Mewtwo tin only had a few new Plasma Storm cards in it such as Togekiss Rev and Scrafty.

Maserati777 March 26th, 2014 4:43 PM

So today I went to Meijer and got 6 Plasma Freeze packs, they only had 7 on the shelf from what I could see and I put one back.

Anyways I finally got Latias Ex, I also got a really miscut Juniper Full Art and a Latios Ex duplicate. I was hoping for one ex didn't expect 3 ultra rares especially since the cards were all picked over and mixed together, also there was only 7 Freeze's left and they could have easily been weighed and returned, I just took a chance and the one I put back was creased across the center, maybe it had a Deoxys full art...


So I've gotten a maximum of 3 exs in at least 8 packs 3 times before, this is the first time I've gotten 3 ultra rares in 6 packs.

The bottom is the back of the Juniper.

Fairy Tale~ March 27th, 2014 4:08 PM

I got a Venusaur Ex in one and an Emolga Ex in the other, so now I only need 4 ex's from Xy, Blastoise full art, Venusaur full art, Emolga full art and Skarmory ex, but I'm only looking for Blastoise and Venusaur.
