Let our customers speak for us
I ordered multiple pre orders, and the release day of the products were weeks apart. Even though they had my Surging sparks booster boxes in hand and could have canceled due and sell at market price and make double the profit. They delivered as promised. I will definitely buy again.
Box was a lot of fun to open, lots of variety and items that people actually would want and not random items that the seller couldn’t get rid of. Opened with my brother and look forward to purchasing another one soon. (Also paid for the XL mystery box and got $230 in value, PokePlug does some of the best mystery boxes out there for sure)
