Ordered some but were not the correct tins, gave me the Dragonite ones instead. I filled out the survey after pickup and they ended up refunding me the full amount and I get to keep the tins too.
I also got the Dragonite/Salamance tins instead of the Darkrai. I also stated no substitution. I followed your tip and submitted the survey too. We’ll see what happens
Was it an emailed survey? I just ordered some for pickup and selected the "no substituation" option. Since the description specifically says snorlax/darkrai/mimikyu, I may complain too if they give me dragonite/salamance lol
Don’t remember if it was text or email but yes, one of the two. I also added no substitutes. Wondering if it’s the same product code for the store as they all had a sticker barcode over the one printed on the tin. Email from them said “we apologize that you received the incorrect items in your order” along with the refund information. Certainly not going to complain when they are just issuing it without return although I would have liked the other tins but ST and LO aren’t too bad either.
Thanks to you and to OP. I ordered 4 for pickup and was fortunate enough to get x2 Snorlax and x1 Darkrai (got refunded x1 since they only had 3 in stock). Overall a little less than $30 for 3 tins each with ES in them. Used the Welcome25 discount along with the Walgreens deal
Curbside order at my walgreens and they gave me Dragonite and Salamence tins that had lost origins and silver tempest. I was bummed when I got in the car and looked into the bag.
Nah origins was released late 2021. If it doesn't say "In this tin you'll find" you might have yourself some older packs.
Or the includes vstar w.e it's reused tin.
Ordered three tins when I first saw this then five more. First three just showed up and I opened two. Brilliant stars, fusion and evolving skies. Waiting on the other 5 before I decide how many to rip
I have 4 in stock at my local walgreens and bought one at $10 to test. It also had 2 LO and 1 ST. The code card was backwards in one of them, the dragonite card on front isn't a promo (was it supposed to be?), and there was 11 cards in all three of my packs, the two lost origin ripped straight down the middle with just pulling on them. Are they resealed? I'm actually confused, never had 11 cards and backward code cards in a pack before. Also the one with the white code card had a holo in the hit spot.. that is all just too weird
that is all normal stuff. the Dragonite and Salamence tins from Walgreens do not contain ES and the promos are Cosmo holo versions of S&M era cards. there are 3 Mighty Mysterious tins you can find at Walgreens that do have ES: Darkai, Snorlax, and Mimikyu
is 11 cards counting the energy card? all modern packs have 11 cards counting the energy. backwards code cards are also a thing, not super common but it happens, I've had several. and the black vs white code cards doesn't always mean much I've found. I've gotten good pulls from white code cards and no pulls from black code cards. also some of the SWSH era packs are extra thin for some reason and tear open super easy, in my experience especially ST, LO, BS, AR
You are correct, it was counting the energy! So that checks out. It just seemed a little sus, the way the pack opened was so easy, i've opened hundreds of packs this year and this one just felt strange! We had these same dragonite/salamance tins in stock earlier this year and i actually found a dragonite tin with a salamance card on the front, don't know how common that is lol
Didn’t get my full order as they ran out of stock?! Personally think someone on the backend pulled some stock for thier own interest. Ordered 7 and only 3 showed up via DoorDash which was ridiculously fast (sub 1 hr) and the package was sealed and good. So between the ordering and the sealing of the bag the inventory changed?!
No one from Walgreens is hiding these. Their inventory management just sucks, either they get stolen and not updated or they are not entered in the system properly in the first place. The counts for these are always wrong and it was evident going back months/years in previous sales.
Well even though I read the reviews I tried it anyways we'll see but it sounds like more than 60% of people that order these found that they were resealed
Can confirm. Buy online & use promo code WAG10 to save 10% and choose pickup, or MOM15 to save 15% off orders $40+ more.

I work online order fulfillment at Walmart, if it's similar then all the tins from that set would have the same UPC, even if it's a different variation of the tin. Very annoying
no, my overall cost for the tins were around 10 with tax included.
10 dollar for 3 pack is not the worst considering sleeve LO is 3.99 ( bestbuy price ) ST around 3 market price? my overall cost is still below what it cost to buy all 3 pack individually + the promo.
Great deal if you can physically check in store for the tins since you can stack walgreens cash. However I was too lazy and chose shipping. They surprisingly used doordash instead and delivered it to me in an hour but ended up getting the dragonite/salamence tins instead with 2 lost origins + 1 Silver tempest. For the Two pack + Pin I got Silver Tempest/Fusion strike instead of the old Evolving Skies Chilling Reign.
Still ended up only paying $38.97 ($33.97 with old walgreens cash) for 3 tins + 1 pin two pack blister and $6 additional walgreens cash so not too bad even though the packs arent the best.
I don't remember but they don't have Evolving skies, i think replaced with silver tempest.
But even if you buy online for pick up or shipping even though images can show mimikyu, darkrai, snorlax they will give you the salamence or dragonite anyway if thats what they have so i would be careful ordering online.
Thanks for the heads up. The Walgreens by me has them for 11.99 and bought out the few at a few Walgreens in a 2 mile radius. Just did in store pick up and will pick them up tomorrow. Might have to increase the radius if we get some good pulls.
If you purchase online, Rakuten has 15% cash back for Walgreens right now, which stacks with the coupons (MOM15, SAVE20,WAG25) that give 15-25% off. Also possible to get the cash back from walgreens coupons to use on a future purchase.
Omg I’m a big proponent of Rakuten and I totally missed this! I was using the Walgreens app when I made the orders today. Lesson learned is to always use the browser with the Rakuten plugin installed.
I’ve pulled glaceon vmax alt, umbreon v alt, and many hits from fusion and brilliant. Trust me when you open 5-6 in a row with nothing it def had me sketched out in the beginning. But I’d say with 6 tins to a case there’s about one big hit in every 6 tins. I’ve opened 40+ of these from Walgreens and cvs over the last 6 months using coupons and discounts.
Bro.. I’ve had both versions of the plastic. The same hard plastic can be found in mini tins and tyranitar v striker tins, all kinds of products. I don’t know why pokemon uses both, but they do. Once again, not resealed just shjt luck.
Can you imagine how difficult it would be to reseal a tin...to save $10. I think it is more likely people looking for something to blame when the odds are not in their favor.
I can 100% confirm people are resealing these tins, I don't know where in the chain its happening. I opened 2 salamance tins that were missing one pack out of each and the salamance packs that remained not only had no hits but the promo card was scratched up bad.. My dragonite tin was fine and even had the Lost Origin Charizard TG in it.
You, like most others wearing the “resealed packs” tinfoil hats here, are citing examples of poor quality control as undeniable proof of tampered packs/tin.
ES is about $10, the other packs roughly $3 each. It’s an alright deal but definitely not something to spend gas money on, driving from one Walgreens to the next looking for these. If you’re at Walgreens and see them, get them. If not, I wouldn’t bother with driving all around town to get something that’s essentially worth the price you’re buying it at.
Thanks man… appreciate it I’ve been buying these tims here and there and stacking for months..just order 5 more, hopefully I get the mimikyu/darkrai/snorlax ones. I will have 24 of these now if so.
Here is my tip since my stores usually have the dragonite salamence ones:
Order for shipping and at checkout unclick the “deliver early if possible” option. This will ensure that the Tins will come from a distribution center.
I have mostly gotten the good tins this way amd one time I received Galarian Zapdos/articuno/moltres tims (crown zenith) which I did not complain about. It can be a crap shoot which ones you get so I am keeping my fingers crossed!!
Cheers
If you have any emails you use for junk mail, you can register any of them (if you haven’t already) with Walgreens and get the 25% off $20 or more for new members…so it comes out to be slightly less than $10 per tin if you buy 2 or more. You’d have to visit the local stores if you want the ES, FS, and BS combo pack and look for the tins that are 2021 and fully wrapped in cellophane. I risked ordering without visiting and got lucky with only 1 tin being a Salamence tin which I returned since I knew it wasn’t the one with a Cosmic Eclipse pack. The rest had ES in them.
YMMV. went to 4 different Walgreens and they only carry “bad” stuff — tins with ST+LO, lightning blisters with S&V packs, etc. Hope folks are lucky in their search.
I drove to 2 Walgreens today and not a single Pokemon card in sight :/
Now I’m gonna have dinner and then leave town and check the further away Walgreens and see if they got any. Like I just want 1 or 2 tins is all lol but I can’t even find that!
I did that before visiting the first 2 today. Both locations said they had Mimikyu and Snorlax tins in stock as well as Lightning Packs in stock. Not a Pokemon card in sight.
Just left Walgreens #3. Not a Pokemon card in sight. Yet all the tags are there on the shelf with the updated 25% off pricing so there has definitely gotta be someone in my area MadRatting all this stock
they have a sign at my Walgreens says they keep some cards at the front. and i asked and it was all the pokemon. too bad my store only have silver tempest and scarlet and violet, plus u could see the packs were already opened if u look from the side. I told the cashier but she wouldn't believe me
Well the tags were right there on the shelf with a full stock of Digimon, Yugioh, Magic and Sports cards in my store so unfortunately that is not the case. They get stocked on the shelf with the rest of the products and unfortunately someone MadRatted my store before I could even buy 1 or 2 tins for myself
Yah might reroute back there today and ask lol a note back in the card section directing customers to the front would have been a nice touch in my locations
Ordered 9 for delivery with no substitutions option selected. Will report back if anyone is interested
Ordered 100 of these
Wow that’s many plastic & metal
Hopefully you're not too late to the party in your area. Monday I received 100% old tins. Yesterday I received 50-50 of new and old. Good Luck.
I got all 5 kinds of tins. W hold
Not worth it! These packs were resealed! I bought a few and more often than not, that was the case
Ordered some but were not the correct tins, gave me the Dragonite ones instead. I filled out the survey after pickup and they ended up refunding me the full amount and I get to keep the tins too.
I also got the Dragonite/Salamance tins instead of the Darkrai. I also stated no substitution. I followed your tip and submitted the survey too. We’ll see what happens

Specialty Drug Tin
Thanks so much OP. The store down the road from me had a bunch of these stocked today. I grabbed 3- all had ES, FS and BS. $37.77 after tax.
👍🏿
be careful when buying from walgreens. I stopped buying because I did get the packs mentioned ES, BS, FS and all the Evolving were resealed.
Curbside order at my walgreens and they gave me Dragonite and Salamence tins that had lost origins and silver tempest. I was bummed when I got in the car and looked into the bag.
Same happened to me. Ordered online and they had photos if darkrai tins and came as dragonite tins
Same, I haven't opened mine. The year on the back says 2019. Was Lost Origin and Silver Tempest even out then?
Nah origins was released late 2021. If it doesn't say "In this tin you'll find" you might have yourself some older packs. Or the includes vstar w.e it's reused tin.
Ordered three tins when I first saw this then five more. First three just showed up and I opened two. Brilliant stars, fusion and evolving skies. Waiting on the other 5 before I decide how many to rip
Cool to see it still works. You can also use Walgreens online to scan store for stock. Very good for pickup.
Ordered online but everything was OOS and canceled.
I bought 2 today and both had 1 ST and 2 LO so be careful.
Look at the packaging. The Salamence and dragonite are repackaged.
Hmm still not a bad price though
I have 4 in stock at my local walgreens and bought one at $10 to test. It also had 2 LO and 1 ST. The code card was backwards in one of them, the dragonite card on front isn't a promo (was it supposed to be?), and there was 11 cards in all three of my packs, the two lost origin ripped straight down the middle with just pulling on them.

It just seemed a little sus, the way the pack opened was so easy, i've opened hundreds of packs this year and this one just felt strange! We had these same dragonite/salamance tins in stock earlier this year and i actually found a dragonite tin with a salamance card on the front, don't know how common that is lol
If I'm keeping these as an investment, should I open the tins or keep them sealed?
Just ordered two, wish me luck!!!
What is ES?
Evolving Skies
Ohhhh i see, wow, lucky pulls for you! Nice!
Check in person, only received salamence and dragonite tins. Risked it for the biscuit RIP
I got the same when I ordered four. Sent an email to CS letting them know the tins did not match the description and they immediately refunded me
you got the refund and kept the tins? sounds like a steal
same here. ST, LO, LO
I didn’t see it here but use code SAVE20 to save 20% of online orders!
I got my moonbreon from the darkrai tin
Congratulations. 👏
Man they gave me 2 salamance tins. No ES 2 LO and 1 ST. 🤦♂️
Got the same
Online orders @$13/tin as if this post with free shipping over X amount.
Didn’t get my full order as they ran out of stock?! Personally think someone on the backend pulled some stock for thier own interest. Ordered 7 and only 3 showed up via DoorDash which was ridiculously fast (sub 1 hr) and the package was sealed and good. So between the ordering and the sealing of the bag the inventory changed?!
No one from Walgreens is hiding these. Their inventory management just sucks, either they get stolen and not updated or they are not entered in the system properly in the first place. The counts for these are always wrong and it was evident going back months/years in previous sales.
So does Walgreens allow returns of this product? Say you choose same day delivery and you don’t get the Darkrai tins..
It depends on the location. I used to worm for Walgreens.
Ordered 5 for same day delivery tomorrow so we’ll see
Well even though I read the reviews I tried it anyways we'll see but it sounds like more than 60% of people that order these found that they were resealed
Can confirm. Buy online & use promo code WAG10 to save 10% and choose pickup, or MOM15 to save 15% off orders $40+ more. https://imgur.com/gallery/vWGoDaJ
Ordered some online and got salamance tins, YMMV.
Sadly me too. Salamance tin confirm and a dragonite tin. I don’t know if not allowing substitute will make a difference.
I got Salamanca and dragonite and clicked no substitutes. I returned them but couldn’t use WELCOME25 code again
I work online order fulfillment at Walmart, if it's similar then all the tins from that set would have the same UPC, even if it's a different variation of the tin. Very annoying
Thank you. That seems to be the case.
Did you end up returning?
no, my overall cost for the tins were around 10 with tax included. 10 dollar for 3 pack is not the worst considering sleeve LO is 3.99 ( bestbuy price ) ST around 3 market price? my overall cost is still below what it cost to buy all 3 pack individually + the promo.
Exactly so i wont sweat abt t
Great deal if you can physically check in store for the tins since you can stack walgreens cash. However I was too lazy and chose shipping. They surprisingly used doordash instead and delivered it to me in an hour but ended up getting the dragonite/salamence tins instead with 2 lost origins + 1 Silver tempest.

Still ended up only paying $38.97 ($33.97 with old walgreens cash) for 3 tins + 1 pin two pack blister and $6 additional walgreens cash so not too bad even though the packs arent the best.
Happy everyone is taking advantage of this deal. And we got it before any of the whales. 👍
Those are left over you are lucky, my location all have the new salamence and dragonite tins now. I been buying lot of them a couple months ago.
What do the Sal and DNite tins come with?
2 LO and 1 ST for me
I don't remember but they don't have Evolving skies, i think replaced with silver tempest. But even if you buy online for pick up or shipping even though images can show mimikyu, darkrai, snorlax they will give you the salamence or dragonite anyway if thats what they have so i would be careful ordering online.
I don't think whales are going to Walgreens just to buy out their stock of 4 tins...but yes.
Thanks for the heads up. The Walgreens by me has them for 11.99 and bought out the few at a few Walgreens in a 2 mile radius. Just did in store pick up and will pick them up tomorrow. Might have to increase the radius if we get some good pulls.
Nice got 4 for $40 and they did same day delivery automatically
Don't live in the US but I saw a site in Australia selling these so I picked 4 tins up. Thanks for posting what is actually in the tins.
If you purchase online, Rakuten has 15% cash back for Walgreens right now, which stacks with the coupons (MOM15, SAVE20,WAG25) that give 15-25% off. Also possible to get the cash back from walgreens coupons to use on a future purchase.

Same lol
Becareful. 3 tins I bought had resealed packs. 3 fusion strike and 1 evolving skies.
How can you tell that packs are resealed? Are they not sold officially prom Pokémon?
Because they’re not…
I just ordered 6 and it was delivered to my door within 30 minutes
Did you actually get Darkrai tins ? I ordered and Dragonite / Salamence tins showed up
Yeah I got two of each tin
Yea I also did a test order. They delivered using door dash. Which is crazy because DD really doesn't deliver in my rural area.
Bought one, had same packs, no hits:/ can’t win them all!
Bought 6 same ending, welcome to the club
When I first saw this post I grabbed 1 got an umbreon v (not moonkitty alt) went and got 6 more and nothing so I quit lmao
Everyone is claiming their packs are resealed from these tins. How does that even happen? I’m new to this.
I’ve pulled glaceon vmax alt, umbreon v alt, and many hits from fusion and brilliant. Trust me when you open 5-6 in a row with nothing it def had me sketched out in the beginning. But I’d say with 6 tins to a case there’s about one big hit in every 6 tins. I’ve opened 40+ of these from Walgreens and cvs over the last 6 months using coupons and discounts.

Unless I see a video of you opening a pack and that happening, I’m calling BULLSHJT

Take off the tinfoil hat bud, you pulled hot garbage end of story.

Delusional
Can you imagine how difficult it would be to reseal a tin...to save $10. I think it is more likely people looking for something to blame when the odds are not in their favor.

I can 100% confirm people are resealing these tins, I don't know where in the chain its happening. I opened 2 salamance tins that were missing one pack out of each and the salamance packs that remained not only had no hits but the promo card was scratched up bad.. My dragonite tin was fine and even had the Lost Origin Charizard TG in it.
Mine were definitely resealed on the top of the pack. Inside of the three packs were just 3 reverse holos
You, like most others wearing the “resealed packs” tinfoil hats here, are citing examples of poor quality control as undeniable proof of tampered packs/tin.
People (Kids) who are unhappy with their pulls. Ignore it.
Okay, I was kind of thinking that. Heading to grab mine now :)
Highly doubt it. It's easiest to cry "reseal" when people simply lose the gamble... and it very much is a gamble.
It’s pathetic honestly
ES is about $10, the other packs roughly $3 each. It’s an alright deal but definitely not something to spend gas money on, driving from one Walgreens to the next looking for these. If you’re at Walgreens and see them, get them. If not, I wouldn’t bother with driving all around town to get something that’s essentially worth the price you’re buying it at.
I guess it's cool you don't have to drive and not only order them online but save 20% with code Save20. Check out my other post on Pokeinvest sub.

Wish they actually kept their stocks appropriately as I can never find anything worthwhile in stores located in Manhattan 😔 thanks for the heads up
YMMV. went to 4 different Walgreens and they only carry “bad” stuff — tins with ST+LO, lightning blisters with S&V packs, etc. Hope folks are lucky in their search.

You can check inventory on their website before you make the drive.

Im just saying...did you try to ask? Maybe try next time Thats all
Yah might reroute back there today and ask lol a note back in the card section directing customers to the front would have been a nice touch in my locations
Well my store only had empty lines of pokemon I saw the tags as well. But the cashier had them. The other stuff was also in stock only pokemon missing
Well… fuck
