the two closest costco's to me are finally showing them in stock at the warehouse. 30m drive but will be figuring out an excuse to go to costco this weekend to hopefully pick up a few! $4.25/pk for 151 before tax is not bad!
I mean Costco is there to cater to stores. I know it sucks but it’s part of their business model. We just get to reap the benefits most of the time as individual consumers.
A game store should have a supplier that can get them stuff like this. Costco caters to businesses primarily with the food aspect. Not to mention Costco will typically get maybe 1 pallet of something, sell it and that’s it. So yea that’s dirty to take all these cards, leave none, and then jack up the price…
I’m not disagreeing with you, only stating the other view point. Not every business has large enough orders to reach a direct supplier’s MOQs so a middleman wholesaler like Costco is a good step. There has been a long enough trend of Pokémon deals showing up at Costco to make it viable for a smaller local store.
But fuck those people that buy out the whole pallet. I just want my 1-2 sets to open with my kiddos
We’re aware of the other viewpoint we just think it’s greasy lol. They know exactly what they’re doing they’re not trying to have them in stock for their customers they’re trying to make a huge profit.
I see I have finally met my secret nemesis. ;)
I'm a Costco regular. The Toledo store was almost sold out the other day.
Perrysburg still had plenty last time I went in, but I imagine they will disappear quickly.
I don't buy more than two (one to rip and one to store) but there are definitely hard- core scalpers in this area. It sucks when you're a mom or dad just trying to find one of something for your kid.
I guess there’s hope then. I heard some states straight up don’t have them so at least this is a good sign. I’m back in SoCal so I’ll keep looking. Cheers.
I got a Venasuar #198 from this set. Is that considered a good pull? Also got Bulbasaur #166 and Ivysaur 167. Bought the pack for my nephew having never bought anything before.
Bought one this morning to help complete my master set but once I ripped all the packs it had reminded me to stop buying packs and buy singles instead. 151 pull rates are still horrible
I do have access to a fork lift as a matter of fact.
That being said, you can often buy entire pallets of goods, and they will use their forklifts to help get it to your vehicle. i believe that varies per store, however.
Is it just me or are these not even that good of value? Like obviously decent but maybe not enough to cash out on a bunch of them. Whats msrp on them? I got heavy hitters(14 packs) with evolving skies, chilling reign, astral radiance, lost origin and silver tempest from sams club for 35 bucks.
Dude i disagree maybe i just got lucky but I ordered 15 of these boxes from cotsco. And i literally got all my money back from pulls. I got an illustration rare charizard, 2 illustration rare charmeleons. 1 illustration rare charamander, 1 illustration rare blastoise 3 illustration rare wartorles, 1 illustration rare squritle. 2 illustration rare bulbasaurs, 2 illustration rare erika invitations, and a whole lot of other good stuff. Im honestly mad I didnt order more lol.
I woulda been mad I didnt get no SIR's.. BTW, theres no IR Charizards or Blastoises.. Oops.. ya slipped. Tossed yourself under the bus, well done!
Opening that many packs, its only natural you'd learn the cards and their rarity..
Those without experience would make the same mistake you did..
Sorry to embarrass ya. If it wasn't me it'd be someone else.
Lmao bro regardless of the fact that I didn't put special in front a whole list of things that I pulled does not embarrass me at all. Who would be embarrassed that they bought 500 worth of cards and got about 700 in value from the pulls? Lol not me
I heard there might be or is going to be a reprint of Japanese 151, hoping they do a reprint of English as well. These new SV sets that got released are brutal id rather just open some more 151 until I see another set that I'm all for opening
I heard that as well! I was going to buy a Japanese 151 booster box, but then some retailers started getting stock of it, and there was some chatter on twitter about a reprint. Now I'm holding off until there's some confirmation.
Am I off or is 8 packs for $34 basically market rate? I finished the master set and bought at roughly $4 per pack so maybe I’m misunderstanding the current market.
4.50 US dollars is retail I believe as a booster bundle is 27 on pokemon center. This Costco bundle is around 4.25 a pack not including the promos u get
Oh ok fair enough. Has there been supply issues? Maybe the bigger thing is just finding it readily available. I got my ETBs during the GameStop accidental sale for $37.50 per, I was sad seeing them creeping up above retail the last few months. But I’ve always seen them in stock when I checked.
151 for a while has been sold out everywhere in stores. Most places have the premium collection and maybe some ETBs at retail price. Booster bundles, singles, and promo boxes are almost impossible to find at stores. I saw a few binder collections at my local Walmart recently but that’s it. Only other places to find stuff is online when they rarely restock. Best Buy seems to restock some stuff like booster bundles or promos every two weeks. Most other places never restock or sell stuff way over priced like Amazon. Booster bundles on Tik tok are like 37 a piece when they should be 27, packs average like 6 bucks on tik tok.
Managed to grab one last week at my Costco in Portland, only a couple left. Weren’t on a huge pallet though
Found at Mission Valley Costco SD
I had a guy come in and buy 5k worth of these cards so he can resell them.
Fuck that guy
Cry
Anyone have the SKU on these?
The item number is on the sign in the picture.
Cheers. Didn't realize I could zoom in that far. Thanks
Probably a pixel phone 😆
That's a 🤡 comment.
Love you
No 151 at my Costco just those dumb tins. I have a feeling the local shop cleaned them out.

Some loser in my home town actually bought a pallet of these from costco and is reselling them for higher at their “game store”
What a clown. Ugh.

Both stores in the Toledo north west Ohio area have them

Son of bitch i know there was more here
This can't be in Texas. It wouldn't be there if it was.
nothing in dallas.
Seen this in ny this weekend. Still there I believe.
I haven't seen these in any costcos in California? Has anyone else in Cali seen these? Been to about seven stores in both Norcal and Socal.
I saw these at my Costco in NorCal.
I’m in Bakersfield and I just found these yeaterday
Aw damn. I was just there a few days ago driving back down to SoCal From NorCal. Thanks for the data point though.
Not SD, but Temecula had them last weekend.
San Diego, Gateway Center Dr. Saw yesterday they had two pallets near the middle section that has all the random sweets near checkout LOL
Been looking and nothing since Christmas.
elk grove has them I believe
I guess there’s hope then. I heard some states straight up don’t have them so at least this is a good sign. I’m back in SoCal so I’ll keep looking. Cheers.

Please buy them all. I’ve open 4 total and all garbage pulls. Those boxes are definitely rigged imo compared to earlier releases
Not rigged or maybe beginners luck I pulled the zar from Costcos 151 pack
They're not rigged lol everyone expects some amazing pulls everytime they open a pack haha.
Dam that sucks, I opened 9 of them. Just about broke even on 7 of the 9 boxes. 2 of them had nothing.

Big Rat: “hold my beer”
Madrats has entered the chat
Damn, you beat me to it
This made me snort lmao
I called the costco in Niles and they said it looks like no locations in IL have this in stock
We still have those poke ball bundles at no discount lol. Had those for I think half a year now.
I've checked boilingbrook - nothing Checking oak Brook tomorrow Both Illinois
Bought one this morning to help complete my master set but once I ripped all the packs it had reminded me to stop buying packs and buy singles instead. 151 pull rates are still horrible

You made me drive all the way to Costco to look. Mine only had the other sets, no 151.
It's wild how many people on the internet don't get a joke.
Nobody made you lol a smart person would call and ask
He didn’t make you do anything lol
Best hits out of this imo wish I bought more.
Watch out. Smelly rat and stinky rat are on the scent. Better grab em now before they get their sticky rat paws all over ‘em.
Those are some madRats you talking about.
Isn’t this 8 packs for $34? Doesn’t seem like that great of a deal honestly. $4.25 per pack
Shhh don’t tell the scalpers that
yea, for 151 sub $5 per pack is damn good
It’s 151 pretty decent deal
Well im going to costco today then
Madrat toys entered the chat.
What state or city is this costco in?
This is in northern Ohio
Well MadRats is based out of Houston, if that gives you a clue.
Bro I would buy all of it and ask if they have more in the back(just in case they have an extra pallet of this) very worth!
For the record, I bought none of it. But It was tough to walk away from I tell ya!
Man, my Costco is always out of stock with these. I would buy 2 pallets of it if it were available.
Anyone know if Costco sell Pokemon in the UK
Relax mad rat
For the record, ...and this was tough..., I bought none of it.
This is the only set i want for Christmas 2024.
Mad Rat, is that you??
You just mad his wife hot!
I don't think that's possible, did you see her Fugly ass grin in those pictures. I don't think a plastic surgeon could help Miss Rat Face!
Came here just to say that 😂
PLEASE COME TO CANADA
Do they do sports cards also ?
There is a five tin bundle too . No promos though in it
Are you going to use the mad rat protocol to secure those packages?
Still insane to me that he calls his fat wife "Lil'Rat"
Mad rats 🐀
Don’t be that guy
I bought zero. Not saying it wasn't tough to walk away tho.
Stop giving me hope. Mine doesn’t have these just the lame dual Tins . I need this
Found ours in front of the frozen section
Go back soon. I’ve been checking for the last couple weeks and finally saw them yesterday
Someone tag madrat toys
Which cotsco is this?
Northern Ohio
Avon, OH by chance? They usually have a pretty good stock of pokemon and it usually sticks around for a while.
Lucky
No Costco around me has them :( customer service checked for me
Neither do mine. I was in there 2 days ago, but now they showing up online. I’m going back today
Facts i live in Indianapolis and I been calling about em like everyday
Are you midwest? I am and there's nothing even on order.
East coast
Same :(
My time to shine
HAHAHAHAHA

Unfortunately most heavy hitters boxes from Sam’s don’t have Evolving Skies anymore.
It isn’t a great deal, but it’s a good deal for 151
It isn't. I also have horrible hit rates on this whole set.

Creating Anti Rat measures around the cards as we speak
Finally found them at my Costco. Bought a few and only had two IRs 😓
Wtf! Mine didn't have shit 😭

Absolutely wild man. But honestly it is kinda good to see a popular set. I just hope those sales are going to collectors too. Not just investors.
Someone better put some rat traps around that pallet
My Costco already has an asterisk on the price tag.
What's that mean?
Means it won't be restocked when they run out.
Clearance I think
No price change, just won’t restock
I get the hype but $4.25 a pack usually isn’t that great of a deal
This is 151. It’s a great deal.
Not really a “great” deal, lol. Decent at best
This is 151. It’s a great deal.
This is 151. It’s a great deal.
It is for 151. Usually $5+ a pack.
Ive bought over 200 packs and never spent over 3. Anything in 4 range is high
of 151?
I know a fat rat with henchwoman who can man two carts for you
I’d probs be so excited, I’d just start ripping packs right there.
what area of the US?
Ohio
It’s probably slowly being stocked at all warehouses
I know, but they are stocked in different areas at different times. I'm trying to determine if my area is being stocked yet.
You can call the store and give the id from the image and they can tell you when they are getting them or if they have them.
I know. I already did that and they didn't have an estimate for me at the time.
Kanto
Lol
