Looks like MJ Holding/Walmart brought back those 4 pack mystery tins. Definitely interested assuming the flippers didn't get to them first.

The Walmart UD1 mega boxes are a traditionnal buy for me during the black friday. For and affordable way to get into the hype of UD1.

The delays are one thing, but the condition of the YGs in the past couple of years is the most serious issue with UD.

My kids opened a few Pokemon boxes for Christmas. For about 20Cad, the jumbo Pikachu was in a plastic, not moving freely like the YG jumbos in the past few years. I didn't see any problem with the condition of the cards, and the value was there. My younger pulled a secret rare Shaymin V-Star, that card is a beauty to look at. My other son got a rare Pokemon worth more than the price of the box, and my girl got some long-odds hits too. We would probably make money selling all the hits. Fun, affordable and everything was nicely packaged and in good condition. UD has some stuff to learn from Pokemon.
