Tabletopcollects Reviews 2

Disclaimer: My experience heavily resembles a different review. I suggest reading theirs first as it's much clearer.

Just like Darren Reger's (much more eloquent) review, I had also purchased this company's "Premium" mystery product and received 8 Korean booster packs with 1 additional Korean pack and a uncommon bulk shaymin as the two bonuses.

Similarly, my issue not the green tier but that no where in the original product was there a possibility of non-English product. Per default understanding, English product is expected. Distaste towards this is heightened by the fact that the company tried to claim that they had already disclosed these would be "JP/KR" packs via the "copy of website description" that accompanies the order. The true website description (even to this day) does not match the "copy" that was included in the order, and the website description (to date: 5/16/26) still does not mention the packs to be Japanese or Korean.

Aside from this, I also had issues with their value claims on the pack/slab bonus (valued at $22.99) and free single bonus (valued $18.99).

During my correspondence to understand this misrepresentation and also the bonus value issue, their response was essentially "here's a copy/screenshot of what the different tiers are," "your green tier matches" and nothing to address the value of the bonuses. Mind you, that screenshot also doesn't mention the packs would be JP/KR and the two bonuses are heavily marketed as part of the overall product value.

Less calm than a different reviewer, I only posted one comment on the company instagram's post of the product questioning the misrepresentation only to find it also deleted shortly afterwards.

This company is no different than a scam. Worse than scalpers in this comunity, I think.

I purchased their “Premium” mystery product based on storefront marketing that prominently featured premium English-market products (Evolving Skies, 151, Pokémon Center ETBs, slabs), explicit bonus value guarantees (“Free bonus pack/slab” $22.99 and “2nd bonus single” $18.99), and customer-trust language about sourcing directly from distributors below MSRP.

What I actually received was 9 Korean-language booster packs and a common Frogadier card. Support confirmed this was considered normal “green tier” fulfillment.

My primary issue is not that I didn’t receive rare pulls — I understand mystery products involve variance. My issue is that nothing in the product presentation clearly communicated that “Premium” fulfillment could primarily consist of significantly lower-value Korean packs, despite marketing heavily implying a premium English-product ecosystem.

I reached out privately for clarification regarding:
• How the advertised $18.99 bonus single value was calculated
• Which item fulfilled the advertised $22.99 bonus pack/slab
• Where Korean-language fulfillment was clearly disclosed prior to purchase

Those concerns were not meaningfully addressed.

More concerning, when I posted multiple calm, factual comments on their Instagram ad accurately describing my shipment (“9 Korean packs and a common Frogadier,” including noting seller confirmation), those comments were repeatedly deleted.

My concern ultimately became less about disappointing value and more about transparency: premium framing, unclear disclosure, and suppression of factual customer shipment descriptions.
