Booster/Box Contents & Variations (Holo/Foil/Len)

[Mirth]

I didn't notice when you changed the first page post but does this mean that all the Power Packs and Powerhouses card's are predetermined and preset already with no variation at all like a normal TCG booster would be like then?

Ya, seems that way.  Like I said, my powerhouse boxes has exactly the same contents (minus the couple variations which I'm chalking up to simple writing/typing errors).  I'm not completely sure about the power packs and 5 card packs, but if a few people can post their contents we can make sure.  Each power pack has its own seperate number depending on the 2 face cards, and even each 5 card pack has different numbers, so not sure why they would do that if the contents were simply random.

I was going pretty much on what Ernie said on the first page:

You will also notice the 2 digits in the upc will change and they will represent the actual cards you receive. So once you open a pack you will know exactly what that upc offers and can make a note not to buy that pack again and get duplicates, unless thats what you want.

This is the type of information we will be collecting and sharing in the new membership site we are putting together. Should be fun. And i caint wait till the new vestroia card packs and "coffers".

So far it seems to me to be true.  Otherwise it wouldn't be worth the trouble, so I hope its true.

Cheers~

Updated the list on the first post in this thread.

Just as a random observation, I noticed that the Walmarts I have gone to recently have no 5 card packs on the shelves anymore.  Target and Walgreens still have a small slowly dwindling supply, but I find it a little odd that some of the Walmarts that had 30+ packs suddenly don't have them anymore.  And they are not in the discount isle, where I sometimes see Powerhouse and Power packs.  Just speculation on my part, but I wonder if they got send back to the manufacturer and they will be reshipped out to deep discount stores like Big Lots or Dollar Tree.  I just find it hard to believe that some stores went from stocking the same 100 packs for the last year, to suddenly not having a single one left on the shelves 1-2 weeks later.  I guess there is not really a point there, just weird.

I don't usually quote myself but here is an update:

Just as a random observation, I noticed that the Walmarts I have gone to recently have no 5 card packs on the shelves anymore.  Target and Walgreens still have a small slowly dwindling supply, but I find it a little odd that some of the Walmarts that had 30+ packs suddenly don't have them anymore.  And they are not in the discount isle, where I sometimes see Powerhouse and Power packs.  Just speculation on my part, but I wonder if they got send back to the manufacturer and they will be reshipped out to deep discount stores like Big Lots or Dollar Tree.  I just find it hard to believe that some stores went from stocking the same 100 packs for the last year, to suddenly not having a single one left on the shelves 1-2 weeks later.

So I was in Dollar Tree today, and guess what, Bakugan 5-Card Booster Packs!  I was a little disappointed when all the packs I looked through were the '17' card backs, meaning that they were from set B.  (For more info on 5-pack card backs look at the third post in this thread.)  I was hoping to find a bunch of '28' card backs to fill in some missing cards from my unlettered set.  But, when I began to open them, I discovered that they were actually mixed sets of both the unlettered set and set B.  Yay!  Now,  I'm not exactly sure what happened, if packs were sent back, and then repackaged, or if these are simply new cards in new packaging.  Never had I ever gotten a 5 card pack that was a mix of sets, the '28' '17' '18' card backs were always a surefire way to determine which set the contents were from.

There were 16 distinct UPC numbers, of which I picked up 1 of each, and I also picked up 2 duplicate pack numbers to check the fact that those numbers did in fact represent what was in each pack.  The two duplicate packs had the exact same contents, so again, these pack seem to follow the typical non-random format.  So here is the list, all 16 packs numbers 20014566 to 20014581:

How many packs did you open? I purchased 45 pcs of these packs and it seems I saw all the cards you listed. I know I left around 20+ more but I wanted to know if there is still a chance of different card contents.

I picked up 18 packs, but there were only 16 different distinct UPC codes.  The extra 2 repeat packs were just to check that the packs didn't have a random card assortment, but the duplicate packs were all the same, so it looks like a they aren't random.  There was perhaps around 120-140 packs on the pegs, and looking through them you could tell they just pulled them out of the box and put them up because the packs were even in the correct numerical order on the shelf.  I don't know if other stores got other assortments of UPC codes, but my local store only had the 16.  If anyone finds different UPC numbers, you can post the contents here and i will add them.

If you still have the card backs around you can put them in order and see which numbers your missing, and then look for those numbers in the store.  Or just look through the list and figure out which cards your missing or low on and look for those numbers.  That's what I'm going to do next time to fill out a third B set lol.

I'm going to be going out of town this weekend, so I hope to have a chance to stop at a couple different stores.  And for those that don't know, Dollar Tree is a store where everything is a dollar, so pretty good deal for these booster packs.

Did you also notice the quality of the cards? I remember seeing a better print on these dollar tree booster card packs. The overall print is not as dark as the ones that came out with the newer bakugan products. Could they have repacked these from the overruns for the sets we see in these packs?

[Brawler Rob]

Just saw a few ventus booster packs(Not Boxes). It came with a Foil Hurricane of Fire and a Holo Buirning Sands. I forget the rest of the cards, but the Holo Burning Sands has flecks of foil, not like the old holo "dot" pattern. I guess I could describe it as Mica, that sorta holo. Hard to explain something simple, lol.

Anywho, the Holo Burning Sands is different than the first. Like the first one, it has the 80 boost to Pyrus and Subterra, but this one also has boosts for the rest o the attributes. It gains boosts 80 in Pyrus, Subterra and Darkus, 60 in Aquos, and 50 in Haos and Ventus. These boosts all double if a Bakugan Trap is in the current battle. This card is outstanding.

I did not see any difference with these cards compared to the ones I already had, usually when I get new cards I go through my sets and make sure there aren't some minor defects in my set cards I can't replace with a card thats in better shape or just has better colors, but I didn't notice any real differance.  The colors of the same card can vary quite a bit, and I tend to like the cards that are printed darker, but this variance has always been there.  I looked the cards over pretty good, checking to see if any of the text or bonuses might have changed, but I didn't notice anything.  Maybe there is some sort of pattern to the better printed cards and what they are packed with, but I haven't been able to figure it out.

Cool, thanks for the heads up!  Seems like it has taken forever for these to begin to show up in the US.  Ya, I agree, that Burning Sands is pretty awesome.  The Burning Sands variation sounds alot like the normal/foil variation of Circle of Fire.  Tell me, which would you rather use? lol.

On Bakugan.com they have two Versions of Circle of Fire.

Finally found New Vestroia Card Box #60.  Took me forever to find one, with all the old Pyrus Boxes around most stores aren't ordering the new ones.  Anyways there were 2 cards missing from the #60 box list so this is just a short note of correction from the list RyCon presented.  The corrected list is show below with the additions show in bold.

And just as an asside, if I'm correcting something someone posted its nothing at all personal.  I appreciate any and all info that anyone can provide so I don't want to seem like I'm unappreciative for the info from RyCon, but just to be accurate I need to correct errors when the show up.  I found RyCons info in particular useful since it showed that only 3 of the 4 boxes need to be purchased to pick up all the variant cards, so again, thanks to RyCon and any past or future contributors.

Thanks for the updated/corrected info Mirth. I appreciate all the work you put into this thread. That is why I tried to add my findings. If I come up with anything new, I'll be sure to take the time to add it.
