News Tapu Lele-GX in 'Island Guardians-GX Premium Collection' This Fall!
- Thread starter Water Pokémon Master
- Start date
I know right? We've all been waiting for that pin for so long! Forget the cards!
I just heard my wallet scream "NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" from the other end of the house.
....so why're they still selling XY era packs in these
Why do I see an evolutions pack? TPCi this better be a template and I’d better not hear that you are selling that garbage any longer.
I'm just gonna go out on a limb and assume that this'll be the only version released over in the UK - seriously, any sets we get with playmats here are rare, I remember the Mega Evolution sets having them, but all other releases are swapped out (Like that Shining Legends set swapping the playmat for a poster)
Probably worked for the same chain as you, it was definitely a pain to have the Premium Trainers Collection in the store for weeks without being able to buy one when Target/Walmart etc just sell stuff as soon as they come in.
Nope, not a template. It comes with 2 Lost Thunder, 2 Forbidden Light, 2 Evolutions, and even more baffling than Evolutions: 2 Ancient Origins.
Half the packs are in rotation, half are not. You know, in this box that someone is likely buying for competitive play because of Lele? Gotta get rid of that back stock somehow, I guess.
At least there's value outside of just the packs so it's not as bad as it could be. Definitely a questionable decision tho.
Are you telling me, minus the packs, everything else that comes from this box accumulates to only $6.50?
I'll get whichever one doesn't have bent-to-hell promos!
Really upset they swapped out the playmat for some pins. I was thinking of picking this up (I don't have a playmat). Oh well, guess I'll order a cool one from Pokemon Center.
On the plus side this will drop down the value for Tapu Lele GX by at least a few bucks. Great for new players and players getting back into the game!
Oh yeah, Tapu Fini GX is there too.

Europe gets the Island Guardians GX Collection (lack of "Premium" in the name). Same as the Premium, but with 3 less packs, and lack of coin & playmat. If you're wanting this product mostly for the Lele, then this would be the best as it's the most cost efficient. The pack selection is usually different as well, and given the pack selection in the Premium, I don't think you can realistically get worse than that lol. Actually if the stock image is correct, it will contain 1 Evolutions, 1 Guardians Rising, 1 Ultra Prism, and 2 Lost Thunder. That's so much better haha.
Exactly. There's still a lot of value outside of what is and isn't in rotation. And if you're more of a collector than a player, like me, you don't mind the selection as much. But it's still weird. lol
Yeah, pretty much! Buy 8 packs, and get a bunch of stuff, including Lele, for about $6.50.
I actually have the opposite with the Targets near me. They tend to get most, if not all, products, including the expensive ones, but usually never on time, let alone early. Ha ha.

I like how Fini is the center of attention in here, rather than the everyone loves Lele approach you’d think they’d go for. Kudos for spreading the love. Can you spread it to Goodra now please? 
Gotta love those Tapu Pins, though Koko we might have seen before.

This Items is already live on Targets website and price comes down to $30 with promo Target is running of 25% off any toy. Ordered mine already. New here so not sure if can post link or promo code info. Box is under a weird name on website.
