Wow! Looks like TPCI went the extra mile with this one! Maybe they don’t do things exactly the way we would prefer, but you can’t say that they don’t care! They even threw in an unannounced coin! Those coins are always fun to collect; their only fault, from a collectors point of view, is how hard they are to display! (Plus, if you don’t need to coin yourself, you can always give it to a local small fry who shares your passion for Pokémon. Kids love these things.) Have we already gotten a Raikou coin like this? It’s hard to tell since older coins keep being reused in newer products (which makes collecting them far more manageable, it just makes keeping track of what coins are new coins harder).
I do, however, feel sorry for everyone who will be torn between the strong desire to open this product and the equally strong desire to hold onto it as a collectors item. There are times when making something even better than you thought it would be can be a nuisance and an inconvenience, and if you’re one of those people who likes collecting or investing in sealed products and was expecting these to arrive as individual items, this is probably going to be one of those times.
