Booster Pack Price Hike?

My target has XY Flashfire Blisters for $4.19 but they had some random B&W packs for $3.33 (State= MD)
Strangely enough, I go to Toys R Us to get some packs sometimes and they've shot the prices up to £3.49 (they only store the last two releases if I remember correctly so they were the prices for XY and XY - Flashfire). I remember when they were only £2.00 a pop when I was younger and I used to buy them a lot.

Ive found that Walgreens is good for getting older tins.

Might be just dumb luck but I've had pretty terrible pulls (even for Legendary Treasures) from Walgreens or Rite Aid. I feel like they get leftovers from other retailers but I could just be unlucky.

As someone who weighs single packs to buy from stores (( I usually only buy half or a small handful of scaled ones so please no freaking out. I'm also not rich so yeah. )) I haven't seen a lack of clearly holo packs here so I think either someone bought a bunch of weighed packs or it's just not so great luck.

I remember that too, they were good times but now it's almost a rip off. It's the price increase which sees more people scaling/weighing packs to get their moneys worth, only to ruin the fun of it for others.
I only restarted collecting a couple a months back, so first I went to ASDA to get some packs and they were £4.00 which is simply outrageous; double what they used to be! Then I went to WHSmith to get some packs, only to find they were £4.00 as well... I was going to give up collecting before I had even started
Toys R Us are probably the best place for me to get them too for £3.49 each, however they haven't had any Pokemon cards in for the past 3 weeks. So it's good to hear that your store has got Flashfire in. Looks like I'll be going on Thursday to get me some goodies!
