I too indulged in buying a few packs from Target in hopes that the knowledge from the cases bought ahead of retail distribution would prove to be a success in finding rares, but I wasn't getting my hopes up. I must say that even know there are some issues with the sizes, shapes, and over printing of the Puny's, I am pretty happy with the distribution so far. If we remember, the last Series 2 required buying from different locations, different size packages just to finish the commons. I think in order for the "rares" and "really rares" to keep their value, there can't be easy finds with patterns all the time. Just my thoughts.
