Let’s take a look at the new 151 Blooming Waters Collection!
The Blooming Waters Premium Collection contains twelve 151 booster packs, four promo cards, and one jumbo promo card and will release in February. Whatever price this ultimately gets listed at people are going to buy it. It might be their last chance to get their hands on 151 booster packs at a reasonable price and this box will certainly make a great holiday gift.
And TWELVE packs, that’s highly desirable. It’s a shame that special sets don’t get booster boxes because it’d save everyone a whole lot of trouble. We wouldn’t have people buying 20 boxes at a time. Which is exactly what’s going to happen. Without purchase limits stores are going to run out of these things as fast as they get them.
Unfortunately I imagine that Costco is going to let scalpers buy entire pallets of Blooming Waters boxes. They absolutely need to put limits on the purchase of trading card products like this but for whatever reason mostly refuse to do so. So expect to see me posting more pictures and videos of people behaving badly at Costco!
A reminder that this is most likely a pre-planned product and NOT a reprint of 151. Stocking new product and restocking with old product are not reprints. I highly doubt there will be a reprint of 151, which is a special set, when they have to print Surging Sparks and Prismatic Evolutions. I just don’t think they have the time to add in new print runs for old sets. Everything is most likely pre set and they’re keeping to their schedule.
So there you have it… twelve packs of 151 and some promo cards you probably don’t want to be released in February. Hopefully you’ll get your hands on a box or two! Good luck out there!
Update – Sold Out
It’s already sold out on GameStop.com which is confusing. I didn’t even see it drop.
