POKEMON TCG: GALAR PALS MINI TINS/Promo Card Bundle -Amazon Exclusive Bundle

Want to add another “this is legit” review. All the cards/packs/tins were legit. Bought 2 (20 packs total) and got a couple Vs/VMax + a gold card. One of the tins was upside down, and it was a bit odd to see so many code cards facing the wrong way, and a couple mismatches between code cards that indicated a “miss” in a pack that was a “hit”. But no actual shenanigans or resealed packs. Would buy again.

TL:DR - Questionable card authenticity, card quality is poor, “promos” easily bent in packaging, tins are nice, would not gift to a card collector I really wanted this to be a good product. I love fusion strike; it has wonderful art for a ton of Pokemon. The tins came sealed in the normal looking factory seal and the packs looked like they had normal seals so no red flags prior to opening. Sadly, there is no real protection for the “promos” they’re just thrown in under the tins. I know fusion strike has really poor pull rates. I didn’t even care if I got a rare card or not, I just wanted a bunch of cards from the set. I couldn’t even get that. In the pictures you can see cards I got from Pokemon center packs on the left and cards from this item on the right. THAT IS NOT LINT. I don’t know what it is, but it’s permanently stuck to the card as if they made them on the floor. It’s on most of the cards and cleaning did not help. A few other things make me question the cards’ authenticity (these issues are consistent in every card): -The cards feel…off. Like a bit more waxy. -The surface on the back is poor and photos can’t catch it but there are streak marks as well -They’re darker in saturation (I know prints can vary, but this on top of everything else…) -Cards all had a vertical bend to them None of the cards were out of order, code cards matched the set. Whether they’re real cards or not, I still don’t know, but the quality of the cards inside these tins are not good. Harder to tell the differences in the pictures than in person. Would not recommend buying.

Came just as described!

Bought 2 of these and will not ever buy TCG products from Amazon. Cards feel really flimsy look a little off, tore 1 card in half it does gave the black line across it. So make of that what you will. 3 pulls worth anything out of 20 packs , they are fusion strike. 12 mother Flippin white code card packs out all that too. Loads of non holo anything Is what white code cards mean in the sword and shield era. Didn't expect a lot but I mean come on. Buy from actual brick and morter stores and shops. DO NOT BUY TCG PRODUCTS FROM AMAZON TOO DAM SKETCHY. Even with Amazon being the filler and shipper with the Amazon exclusive. DON'T DO IT.

My order came in perfect condition, with absolutely no hint of tampering. I have purchased 2 other Galar Pal Tins Bundles from Amazon.com, and they also were in perfect condition. The fact that Fusion Strike boosters are in this bundle may be a factor in the high return rate, as some unscrupulous consumers may buy the product and then return it after looking thru the boosters. All 3 of the bundles that I have purchased are fine. The shrink wrap on the tins ensure that the product is not tampered with. Note: The shrink wrap on the tins is unique in that it has a small area in both the top and on the bottom of the tins without shrink wrap. This product is also Amazon Exclusive too. I am very happy with my purchases.

Every pack inside had signs of repeated heat sealing on the packs and glueing. Additionally the color of the code cards inside did not match up with the contents of each pack. Furthermore, the plastic surrounding the tins was thicker, no perforations, and showed many defects around the top and bottoms of the seal. Obviously not guaranteed any pulls but not even a single pokemon V in 10 packs with multiple repeat holos and rares, very suspicious.

I will say this, I'm NOT prejudiced about Fusion Strike as a set or Pokémon because I'm a sealed collector mostly. I saw this as an opportunity to get cheap packs to add but the situation is: The packs themselves have various errors that could very well be from manufacturing, since this was indeed a pandemic set and if you see other sets from SWSH they sometimes have these errors, BUT these have way too many. They are NOT air tight sealed, they feel very lose and shaky, when you open them they seem ok but the code card is BACKWARDS (from what's written it's the right set tho) and they open/shred too easily (see the photos of all the errors of the seal). From the two i opened i got a holo in one pack and a holo + V in the second one. The print quality on the cards themselves is somewhat bad but again this is visible in other opening videos from this set, it was just a bad time with Pokémon I guess. Am I denying they're resealed? Not quite but my train of though is this is too much work for a person to go through to package, seal the packs, seal the tins then put together in a product with a Pokémon label on it and then take into consideration that this is sold BY AMAZON so how did they get there. My conclusion: Just get another product that has Fusion Strike packs and avoid the hassle.

It would have received a 5 star but the promo cards aren't promo and just some cards from other set. The price is about right for the current market. I received different tins in the package. The packaging was on point and no damage was found on the tins. Overall not a bad buy and will probably purchase again.

Opened the tins to find out the packs were resealed packs. Code cards were also packed wrongly (different side up) for every pack, what a scam. Tins also came dented.

Es claro que los paquetes han sido manipulados, Son auténticas y las promos no son nada especial pero por lo menos vienen.

Todo bien en cuanto empaque y las promo cards. No salio absolutamente nada interesante pero eso es mas culpa de que fusion strike es famoso porque no salga nada no porque viniesen alterados o algo asi en mi opinion.

DO NOT BUY! Should have read the reviews before buying, 10 packs and not a single holo. Packs had signs of resealing. Tins are also damaged.

Highly recomended AAA+
