Revision as of 10:42, 27 April 2013

This page no longer includes the merchandise for the HeartGold & SoulSilver Series, the Call of Legends Series, or the Black & White Series. It is progressively being phased out in favor of merchandise pages organized by Series rather than type. For merchandise from these three Series, please refer to this page accordingly.


As well as producing unique or variant cards available at events, Nintendo has also released several varieties of promotional items in which to deliver special cards. Such mediums include value packs, box sets and collector tins. The list below focuses on value packs and box sets, which contain at least one promotional card, as well as booster packs or a theme deck from recent expansions. The items are listed in (roughly) chronological order and contain details of their contents.

EX Series value packs

EX Value Pack (1)

  • EXValuePack1.jpg

The first value pack to be produced by Nintendo, it differs from packs today as it was boxed and did not show the promotional card included in the pack.

Promo card:

Contents:

EX Value Pack (2)

  • EXValuePack2.jpg

This value pack was also boxed and was the first to include two promotional cards. This pack contained the same two cards that were included in the EX Collector's Carry Tin.

Promo cards:

Contents:

In 2005, value packs began to be packaged in blister packs (where the items are sealed with vacuum moulded plastic) and released alongside TCG expansions upon their release, the packaging mirroring the same design as the booster packs or boxes. The majority of blister packs released still retain this pattern. It was also around this time that the inclusion of promo cards were phased out in favor of releasing them in tins, using the blister packs as a medium in which to deliver holographic reprints of POP Series cards. These packs also saw the inclusion of coins, normally found in theme decks.

EX Unseen Forces Blister Pack

  • EXValuePack5 1.jpg

    Sceptile variant

Promo cards:

Contents:

Metagross Blister Pack

  • MetagrossValuePack.jpg

This was one of the first packs to focus on one particular Pokémon both in terms of the design of the pack and the card included. This would later be used in subsequent releases, but with a general theme in mind, such as the Eeveelutions and legendary beasts.

Epic Collection Value Box

    Typhlosion variant

  • EpicValueBox2.jpg

    Flygon variant

Although they have no connection to the Epic Collection Deck Kits, many stores and websites applied the name to these value boxes as they were released roughly at the same time. Packaged in a similar way to the original value packs, the two versions adopt changes made to the Collector Tins and feature windows. Of particular note is the Typhlosion promo card, as it saw a limited release sometime prior to the release of this box, allowing collectors and players to obtain it again.
