I bought 2 UPCs, and was gonna leave one sealed, but I didn't like my pulls in the first one, so I opened the second one.... pulled the ZARD! I've opened 150+ packs since the set was released, and I need only 22 more cards to complete the set. I definitely believe the pull rates are insane on this set.
Last week, I preordered the 151 Mew UPC from my local GameStop and picked it up yesterday evening. I pulled the Blastoise SIR, Pikachu AR, and the Giovanni's Charisma FA! I didn't have those cards before!
Nice pulls. I got my UPC, Alakazam x2 and Zapdos x2 boxes today in the mail and they were loaded. Alakazam Boxes: Box 1 Bill's Transfer (T) UR, Kangaskhan UR, Fire (E) H and Steel (E) H. Box 2 Machoke IR and Darkness (E) H. Zapdos Boxes: Box 1 Lightning (E) H Box 2 Ninetales ex, Charmander IR, Giovanni's Charisma (T) UR and Fighting (E) H UPC Left Side Packs Ninetales ex, Mew ex HR x2, Fire (E) H, Lightning (E) H x2 and Fighting (E) H Right Side Packs Venusaur ex, Psyduck IR, Daisy's Help (T) UR, Psychic (E) HR, Water (E) H and Psychic (E) H I also got some reverses I needed as well. I'm really happy of what I got.
My UPC was pretty good. I pulled 1 golem ex, Arbok ex, charizard FA Ex, Gio’s SIR, Zapdos Ex SIR, Caterpie IR and Charmelon IR. I just felt like the quality of the cards weren’t that good IMO. Other than that, a great video cuz! I can’t wait to see your next ones! Have a good one 😎
seems they favour a side i opened a box with my son, my side had wigglytuff ex and ex full art, his side had both mews and erikas invitation full art ❤
Pokemon company knew 151 would be insane. They made pull rates super low and they're going to print 151 into the dirt and people will keep buying and chasing certain cards. Pokemon is smart, I'm tellin' ya.
1 full art and 2 ex bulk cards in each of my upcs... it honestly should be illegal to sell a 130$ product and put such garbage pulls. Pokemon should fix that because I get it with ETBS but UPCS? Come on
Promos are on point Cuz! Awesome of you to give a set of by hem away! Enthusiasm was there but the UPC were harsh to you. Thank you for the video. Sorry I’m just now getting to see it and comment buddy!
My luck is so bad. Opened 2 UPCs and 2 of each Alakazam and Zapdos ex box, 48 packs total. Got 12 hits out of 48 packs, only one SIR, 4 IRs, 1 FA, and 1 Gold card, the rest were Exs I already had. Edit: Posted this before watching the full video. Poor Cuz actually had even worse luck than I did.
Damn that first upc box was not fair at all, the 2nd one was decent. I pulled a SIR Blastoise, SIR Charmeleon, full art Ninetails, & Blastoise ex in mine and with the value of the pulled holo energies and promo cards, the overall value of my box was about $132.47 according to tcgplayer.
Anyone know if these Best Buy reviews are accurate for the 151 UPC? (see replies) I was considering buying it for nostalgia (haven't been into TCG since the early 2000's), but some people buying it for this exact reason aren't too happy. In addition to what others claim are bad pull rates and poor value overall for what you're getting.
Rated 1 out of 5 stars - Quality of English Pokemon cards is total garbage
"I can't believe I'm writing this bad of a review. I was a 90's kid who remembered how awesome it was collecting base set, jungle, and fossil cards back in 1999. After hearing about 151, I decided I'd get back into the hobby. I was upset to realize, however, that English Pokemon cards pulled straight from packs now come with a cheap feeling, bad centering, whitening (what?), faded printing, and all sorts of other marks. None of these issues exist with Japanese Pokemon cards, where 99% of cards pulled straight from packs would grade as a PSA 10. English is another story, and another nightmare, if I'm being frank. When you're paying this kind of money for cardboard cards, you would at least expect that brand new cards out of packs would be in mint condition most of the time. I pulled a Charmander illustration rare out of mine that literally has faded text on it, as if the printer ran out of ink halfway through. I bought the UPC for the gold Mew card, and I was distraught when I discovered that mine had red marks on the top border. What trash... I paid $120 and I get damaged promo cards and rares? It's not even acceptable. I am done with English cards. Pokemon, you have a lot of work to do in order to improve the quality of these cards to an acceptable level. It's almost a joke, because you usually don't even get your money back when you open these products, and if you do actually happen to pull one of the rare cards, it's damaged most of the time! I miss 1999 and real Pokemon cards. Pokemon, I hope you make improvements. You've lost a fan. That is all that I have to say." REPLIES TO THIS REVIEW; Exact same complaint - "To a T, the same complaint. I was 90’s era and the first time grabbing a pack of 151 and I was shocked at the quality, thinner cheaper feeling and the prints quality don’t have that special feeling anymore. If you’re from the 90’s you know. Sorry Gen X" Quality is really bad - "I have opened about $400 worth of cards. I have gotten 3 gold mew ex and each one of them has whitening. It has been horrible."
"This UPC is $120. While you do get 16 packs, currently valued at $5 apiece (that's $80 in packs), the metal card, playmat, and promos inside don't bring the total to that steep price tag. This box has also so far, been known for horrible pull rates. From the 16 packs, I received one illustration rare, three ex rares (one was even a duplicate), and two holo energies (which are very common). Save your money, if you want Pokemon 151 product, just get the booster bundles, and buy the Promos separate if that's what you want." - Not worth the price. Damaged cards
"This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review. This was over priced, you get less than they give you in 2 Elite boxs in exchange for a playmat. My box wasn't cut evenly, so now the display box looks off. A lot of faded, scuffed, or production roller lines on the cards. Brand new packs shouldn't have this many issues for the price we are paying. One production line mark was so obvious that I thought one of my cards had gotten bent in half. It's cheaper to buy 2 elite boxes. You would get 18 booster packs total rather than 16, and you'll get a pack of sleeve protectors in eah elite box. Go buy the special cards for this box off eBay. Overall, not satisfied, the pull rate was atrocious. Also, out of every pack in the box, only 1 card was not a duplicate out of the 16 packs. It was 1 alternate art physduck. Cool card. Terrible pull rates. I still needed every alternate art card and about 8 of the 151. Super dissappinted with the overall quality of the cards." There's a few other reviews but you get the idea.
I'm so disappointed with my UPC. I got a full art Jynx and a Zapdos EX, that was it! I got awful holos too. I got 3 Raichus, 3 beedrills, 4 flareons, a weezing and an electrode. Never going to buy a UPC again. Terrible pull rates
So, I don’t know if this qualifies for a “God pack” but it’s at least a busted pack. I pulled the special illustration rare Blasty, full art bubblegum Mew and special Illustration rare bulbasaur in one pack! Anybody else get anything similar?
I opened a whole bunch of stuff yesterday. The UPC, alakazam box, zapdos box, an etb, mini tins, booster bundles, and i got: Venusaur ex full art, Wigglytuff Ex full art, ericas invitation sir, TWO Alakazam ex sir, charmeleon alt art, polywhirl alt art, and like 7 other cards i needed for my binder. This set has been nothing but blessings, except for the availability due to scalping and what not. Also got the bulbasaur best buy promo since i order the zapdos bundle there. But im extremely lucky i was able to even find all of that because i live in north jersey, and finding this stuff is like finding gold lmao
Hits have been all over the place with these upcs. Mine had the Charizard SIR, TWO sr psychic energies, poliwhirl IR, Mew Ex, alakazam ex , AND a blastoise ex. Literally insane pulls I didn't think my luck with 151 would ever get better than that but then just yesterday, out of 20 packs, pulled THREE SIRs, the alakazam, the giovani, and another Zard. I think I should quit while I'm ahead and not open up any more of this set LOL.
I almost have a masterset for under $200. I bought a bulk card auction on ebay that had pretty much everything in it besides EX and above. With all varients non holo holo and resverse for every card! Ive slowly been buying up all the EX and full arts for $2-5 a pop its been a steal! I got the who blastoise line for $30 i only need like 10 more cards
My UPC was pretty bad, I only got one AR and 2 regular EX cards which i guess count as hits but we all know what we really want out of those packs especially with a price tag over $100
I’ll never order anything from Pokémon centre again I spent 800$ and got the worst hits n worst misprints n I got the same from a local cards shops got great hits and good quality I got 10 hits from a booster box from Pokémon centre n 13 from a card shop
Pokémon Center had this in stock. Was about to check out but watched your first pulls and got nervous. Booster Bundles are impossible to find in the UK at the moment. Great content as usual!
Dude I just opened my UPC and got absolutely hosed. Only 1 regular charizard EX and regular Blastoise EX. That’s it… that’s actually it Note - it also came from the Pokémon Center
Yeah I had the same luck too…I opened mine up earlier and only got 2 ex cards and a psyduck character card 😔 not the best results but hey it’s just the luck of the box lol
Cuz and I after opening product - hits ain’t there! Random guy on a Facebook group - A god pack, a gold mew, and 5 other hits out of an etb… Make it make sense pokemon! 🗣️
151 seems to be a tough set for a lot of people. Kind of sucks considering the theme of the set and the fact that it's getting a lot of people back in to collecting/buying pokemon cards.
After the charizard vs celebrations video you did and now this I will probably keep my upc sealed and hope maybe if keeps its value. Seems like a waster of money. I got the charizard upc at release and didnt open it till months later and the best card I got was a gold worth about 20. I really just wanted the promos and I feel with time they will be as cheap as the charizard ones.
Love the promos for sure! My UPC was alright but definitely should be getting more with 16 packs I think.
I bought 2 UPCs, and was gonna leave one sealed, but I didn't like my pulls in the first one, so I opened the second one.... pulled the ZARD!
I've opened 150+ packs since the set was released, and I need only 22 more cards to complete the set. I definitely believe the pull rates are insane on this set.

I didn't have those cards before!
Great box, I also got 3 low hits in this UPC. Was quite sad....ALSO the Mew and Mewtwo promo cards slides right up no need to break the cardboard!
That's how I damaged the metal mew card
A new video from my new favorite youTuber in general, lets go!
My first box I got a regular blastoise ex and 4 energy. That was it...

I'm waiting for mine to come in still those was bad UPC but the promo was worth it enjoy your weekend Pokecuz
Best of luck on your pulls!! Hope you have a great weekend!
That's rough!!!! Opened 1 upc, got s.i.r. zard and s.i.r. zapdos, as well as i.r. charmeleon, i.r. ivysaur and a couple of e.x's
My UPC was pretty good. I pulled 1 golem ex, Arbok ex, charizard FA Ex, Gio’s SIR, Zapdos Ex SIR, Caterpie IR and Charmelon IR. I just felt like the quality of the cards weren’t that good IMO. Other than that, a great video cuz! I can’t wait to see your next ones! Have a good one 😎
LETS GO!!!!!!
Let’s goooooo!!
Bro PokeCuz i love your videos you just earned my sub.
Ugh, like you've said, I want to open this set for the next ten years. My buddy only got two ex's and the Squirtle art rare from his UPC.
I watched the video that the slab give away card was PSA graded.
ive ripped like 1k worth of 151 and almost have the set. i need that reverse holo machamp you pulled haha! crazy seeing it be pulled
seems they favour a side i opened a box with my son, my side had wigglytuff ex and ex full art, his side had both mews and erikas invitation full art ❤
i’ve seen two charizards SIR in one box- i feel like you either get super lucky or strike out.
agreed. pokemon be like that.
Let's gooo I was waiting on this vid!!!!!! Let's get some crazy pulls
Pokemon company knew 151 would be insane. They made pull rates super low and they're going to print 151 into the dirt and people will keep buying and chasing certain cards. Pokemon is smart, I'm tellin' ya.

if every hit was a SIR might as well be a promo
I haven’t gotten into the 151 set haven’t been able to afford it but once I get my next pay check I’m gonna buy a UPC
I think it’s not ultra premium anymore, now it’s a premium collection box!
Promos are on point Cuz! Awesome of you to give a set of by hem away! Enthusiasm was there but the UPC were harsh to you. Thank you for the video. Sorry I’m just now getting to see it and comment buddy!
Would love to get those promos
My pulls have been so bad in the sv era. It’s just singles and slabs for me from now on lol.
My luck is so bad. Opened 2 UPCs and 2 of each Alakazam and Zapdos ex box, 48 packs total. Got 12 hits out of 48 packs, only one SIR, 4 IRs, 1 FA, and 1 Gold card, the rest were Exs I already had.
Edit: Posted this before watching the full video. Poor Cuz actually had even worse luck than I did.
I'm so excited for this! These promos are some of the best ever made! 💜
Damn that first upc box was not fair at all, the 2nd one was decent. I pulled a SIR Blastoise, SIR Charmeleon, full art Ninetails, & Blastoise ex in mine and with the value of the pulled holo energies and promo cards, the overall value of my box was about $132.47 according to tcgplayer.
you were fighting for your life in this one Cuz 😭😭
Great content! Thanks for sharing the love of collecting!!! Love card collecting with my son!
It was not only you there’s just one or 2 UPC per case that have good hits unfortunately you grab the bad ones next time buy the case good luck
Anyone know if these Best Buy reviews are accurate for the 151 UPC? (see replies)

There's a few other reviews but you get the idea.
My Pokemon Center UPC was awful, I just got a Jynx EX
I mean...the first UPC was a great binder filler 😅 but the pulls were not good
Opened mine last night and got a SIR Venasaur, SIR Erika, IR Charmeleon and a few ex cards. Not the best but definitely not the worst.
I'm so disappointed with my UPC. I got a full art Jynx and a Zapdos EX, that was it! I got awful holos too. I got 3 Raichus, 3 beedrills, 4 flareons, a weezing and an electrode. Never going to buy a UPC again. Terrible pull rates
Now I don't want to open mine after seeing these hits. Hopefully box 2 is better.
So, I don’t know if this qualifies for a “God pack” but it’s at least a busted pack. I pulled the special illustration rare Blasty, full art bubblegum Mew and special Illustration rare bulbasaur in one pack! Anybody else get anything similar?
Ummmmmm what?!?! That’s wild!!
@@PokeCuzTCG I know, right!
Pull rates are straight duke 😢 in all my products. i couldn't pull anything either

I definitely got a decent one! Got Vensuar SIR, pikachu IR, squirtle ir, kangaskhan FA, charizard and wigglytuff ex
Bought a mini tin and a Zapdos ex box and the best thing I got was the Zapdos ex promo. 😢
I'm having such a hard time pulling the cards for my master set
Wow those were bad.....at least the promos are gorgeous
These promos are seriously amazing!!
I just bought 2 of these today

Awesome collection box
Oh man so sad that you only got 1 SIR! Great video though cuz!
Giveaway the play mat too! It’s cool af!
My UPC looked like your first one, only I got a gold mew as well.
Let’s go🎉 good luck with the pulls I’m going to open mine today as well super excited!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
How did it go?
I almost have a masterset for under $200. I bought a bulk card auction on ebay that had pretty much everything in it besides EX and above. With all varients non holo holo and resverse for every card!
Ive slowly been buying up all the EX and full arts for $2-5 a pop its been a steal!
I got the who blastoise line for $30 i only need like 10 more cards
Pull rates sux in mist boxes regret getting one really just wait will be cheaper than any other soon
WOW!!!!! Thats 2 tuff upc's.
The promos are really nice
that metal mew is insane
My UPC was pretty bad, I only got one AR and 2 regular EX cards which i guess count as hits but we all know what we really want out of those packs especially with a price tag over $100
I’ll never order anything from Pokémon centre again I spent 800$ and got the worst hits n worst misprints n I got the same from a local cards shops got great hits and good quality I got 10 hits from a booster box from Pokémon centre n 13 from a card shop

Great content as usual!
those promo are metal?? that is so sick.
Dude I just opened my UPC and got absolutely hosed. Only 1 regular charizard EX and regular Blastoise EX. That’s it… that’s actually it
Note - it also came from the Pokémon Center
Damn I’d be heated
I'm such a fan of the promo cards
I had a pretty cracked one. Got 2 SIRs blastoise and alakazam, an IR squirtle, a full art venusaur and 2 ex cards
There’s where all my hits went 😅😅
My friends upc was crazy with the hits. I decide to just buy the promos lol
Yeah I had the same luck too…I opened mine up earlier and only got 2 ex cards and a psyduck character card 😔 not the best results but hey it’s just the luck of the box lol
Costing more than a booster box and yielding 3 hits shouldn’t be a thing with products like these, but at least the promos are cool!
Totally agree!! Promos are absolute fire though :)
Cuz and I after opening product - hits ain’t there! Random guy on a Facebook group - A god pack, a gold mew, and 5 other hits out of an etb… Make it make sense pokemon! 🗣️
Hits were less than what the average seems. Overall it seems like good value for the upc with the 3 promos and 16 packs.
Wow that was brutal, that Zard UPC vs 151 UPC battle should be interesting…😅
These UPC scare me with the pulls!!
Cuz Thugz let’s go!
Let’s goooooooo
You need some bad ass pulls cuz!!! Love to content! Opening my upc tomorrow morning when I get off
Best of luck on your pulls!!
@@PokeCuzTCG I got 2 charixard SaR
I got the Blastoise sir in the one UPC i opened... guess I got lucky 😂
all I want are the promos, i'm glad i didnt buy any UPCs
The UPC is insane. Been trying to save up for the last month
No mew upc for me lol
Good luck pulls bro
I opened 2 and didnt like them tbh but still ordered more
Definitely feels like these are about the promos, not the pack hits :/
Ouch. That is all
SWEET
Let’s go!
Ultra Hitless Collection… thank god for the promos because the packs inside were nasty.
Better luck next time Cuz👍
Hahaha, what these should be called maybe 😂😂
Yeaaaaah
Promo removal level: Savage
Yo, those UPCs were dumpster juice, especially that first one. I'm sure your luck will turn around. It always does, Cuz.
I got 2 EX from my UPC lol
"I love Gold!"
151 seems to be a tough set for a lot of people. Kind of sucks considering the theme of the set and the fact that it's getting a lot of people back in to collecting/buying pokemon cards.
Only getting 1 for the promos. I’ve heard the hit rates are rough 😅
After the charizard vs celebrations video you did and now this I will probably keep my upc sealed and hope maybe if keeps its value. Seems like a waster of money. I got the charizard upc at release and didnt open it till months later and the best card I got was a gold worth about 20. I really just wanted the promos and I feel with time they will be as cheap as the charizard ones.
Nice Video Buddy!
I'm assuming because of the promos..pokemon doesn't want to put alot of the bighits inside the upc..😅
Day 🎉80🎉 of asking to see your collection
🎉🎉
Woow that first box was 💩 💯 I would never expect to got get multiple hits from a premium box for the cost
The promos are nice so far
Just opened two myself…. No sir no gold lol
You opened 2 UPC’s and got no sir’s or golds!? 😮
