Great deal on 4 Pokémon tins. Usually $25 each MSRP and at Costco this is $75 for the 4 pack bundle. Currently marked down to $50 with free shipping. Each tin has 5 booster packs.

Just like the lottery, small winner, big winner...most are losers.
Good luck all, rip and open for fun.

I know what Pokémon is/are, but I feel yah on this. My 11yo went from collecting to play, then to make money on and sell, then suddenly when he was finally all done with buying more he shifted gears and now he wants to play again. To his credit, he's been able to negotiate better than any car salesman I've ever seen when he goes to the comic book store. He will haggle and "word fence" with the guys behind the counter to get the best deals on trades and even better deals when they buy from him. He is impressive. But I just can't see sinking so much money into this. …
However, I paid off most of my grad school loans selling my comic book collection. So I'm not one to knock him, too much.
If you want to keep them sealed, go for the pikachu bundle. They come with packs that are technically worth more unopened, although the sets are more 'flat'. Lots of 4-5 dollar cards up to 30-40 but no big hitters. The packs in that one are more valuable unopened though because it looks like some are coming with older releases inside.
Question - are the tins individually wrapped? Looking to hand out Xmas presents to multiple kids. Could I "break" one of these into 4 tins? Thanks in advance for your help!!

If you bought online for $60, then you can just go through the price adjustment form

All in all the value is here:
Estimated retail: 2 x 6.50 (Evolving Skies) + 2 x 3.75 (Brilliant Stars) + 1 x 2.75 (Fusion Strike) + $1 Promo card = $24.25 at market rate
Compare that to the $12.50 per box, and this is a really great deal.
For collectors, it might be too few Evolving Skies, but for Christmas gifts and people who just want to open a decent pack selection for the chance at a good hit, these are GREAT value! Plus the value of the tin, for what its worth.
Small edit: it looks like Costco is also having an additional $25 off an order of $300+ (until 12/9/22) on qualifying toys. That sweetens it if you are buying these in bulk, or wanted to get other toys and this helps you get to the $300 total.

Now I have to think about if buying and returning is worth getting my $30 back.
