Heads up, Pokémon TCG collectors, as another hot limited-time drop is hitting Walmart as part of its early Black Friday sales (that are starting today!)
Whilst it's going to be hell catching these deals, paid Walmart+ members will get five hours of early access; music to the ears of any fellow Pokémon trainers, I'm sure.
So what's up for grabs? From Nov. 13, 4 pm PT / 7 pm ET, Walmart will open the floodgates for three Pokémon TCG Special Collection boxes for Walmart+ members.
Outside of preordering new sets, it's next to impossible to find Pokémon TCG products like these at market value, never mind MSRP, so this deal isn't to be missed and is well worth getting a Walmart+ membership for.
Selling for $24.99, at MSRP, each box contains eight booster packs and features three foil promo cards that differ depending on the set you pick up: Snorlax ex + Blissey ex, Greninja ex + Kinggra ex, or Incineroar ex + Torterra ex.
Each Special Collection box has the following booster packs:
- 2 x Destined Rivals
- 2 x Journey Together
- 2 x Surging Sparks
- 2 x Twilight Masquerade
If you're not already a member, it’s admittedly a slight drag that you’ll essentially have to add the membership cost onto the price to pick this up and avoid the eye-waterlingly high resale prices, but needs must.
It's $12.95 per month, or you can opt for an annual membership which is half off right now, and down to $49, previously $98. That's not a bad deal at all, and includes a whole lot more than just early access to Pokémon cards. So make sure to get that boxed off and logged in ASAP to avoid missing out on this top Black Friday deal.
Best Pokémon Cards To Chase From These Sets
Whilst I wish you all the luck in the world, the chances of pulling top chase cards from these boosters is ridiculously difficult.
If you're like me and don't have the money to spend on endless sealed product, you'll likely savew money in the long run just buying your chase cards instead.
Here's the top five you could pull from these boxes, complete with where to buy links and up-to-date market value information.
