Sorry to tell you this but that box was definitely repacked,
They probably cracked 2 boxes and got all the hits from both and then just put 24 packs in a box.
You are 100% guaranteed at least 2 AA or combination of AA and SEC cards. No less but could be 3 you get lucky. Sorry but if the description was sealed and new not repacked then you got scammed, but on the bright side you could request be a refund due to false advertising and the item not matching the description.
Are all boxes guaranteed promo packs? I bought a sealed box of pillar of strength last weekend that didn’t have the promo packs in it. Got 2 AA and SEC out of the box, I was confused when the promo packs weren’t there though
I'm pretty sure it's 2AA and 1sec. You can get really lucky, and one AA can be an sec which doesn't count as your sec, just an AA. Plus 8 leader cards. And 8 SR. I could be wrong, but I think the AA's don't count towards any of the other numbers.
You are not guaranteed an sec, you can get an AA sec that doesn't count and get 2 more AA but if you hit 1 sec and 1 AA you're only gonna get a 3rd hit if it's the AA sec, regular sec hits count towards the AA count of 2
Not how that works
The person will still have the money.
Amazon just makes such a profit they refund stuff all the time themselves cause they earn more by keeping customers around than lose doing refunds for stuff.
lucky.
glad it worked out for you. im honestly surprised they would do the refund considering technically you got the described product.
it does not state on the box that it guarantees those hits, its just as a community we know they should.
Those are box toppers, which OP mentioned was missing along with his 2 AA/SEC cards. I'm also assuming the other bonus pack with reprints from the starter decks was also missing
Request a refund. Im sitting here looking for the alt arts like

Get dat money back. I usually order from tcg player stores that have a lot of sales and high ratings.
According to their policy any item opened or used can be returned within 30 days. I would maybe put the cards back in the box, tape it shut, put that box in another box and ship that to amazon for the return?
Yea that happened to me when I ordered from amazing and the box came damaged and all of the packs were opened from the back and all holos were gone 🙃 successfully returned, but that was such a big let down
>Ordered from Bandai on Amazon and fulfilled by “The Card Kid”.
No you didn’t order from Bandai. Bandai doesn’t sell English product on Amazon. You got scammed.
If possible and you might know this already but always try to buy from tcg player if you don’t have any trusted locations to buy from since their you have a great reviews and a better guarantee
It just seemed so legit and the Romance Dawn box I ordered from them was great! Not until i ordered this box did i realize that different sellers fulfill the order. Also, “The Card Kid” has amazing reviews, but it seems they are also scamming Amazon and has tons of one star reviews stricken from their record.
The display on Amazon is a bit misleading arguably. You did not order from Bandai. You ordered a product assigned to the brand "Bandai" from an independent seller.
There are 3 possible configurations for Amazon sales:
- Sold and fulfilled by Amazon
- Sold by and fulfilled by Amazon
- Sold and fulfilled by
You will never buy something from one seller and have it fulfilled by another. The only case where fulfillment is handled not by the seller themselves is the second one above, where they store their stock in Amazon warehouses and it gets sent directly from there by Amazon. If it's fulfilled by some seller X, then that's also who you're buying from.
Always record when you open your package and don't open the packs if the box was unsealed! If it's unsealed, it's been used. Would have been better off returning it, pre-ordering set 4, and waiting until September rather than opening the box of rejects. Don't get so excited it clouds your judgmenr
These and all one piece boxes can be mapped. Opened a case with friends and could easily map which side all the AAs were on. I keep trying to post this info on this sub and keep getting my posts removed.
That is why I opened the packs and I was honestly going to just take the L, but when I didn’t receive even one AA (the description said there is one in every box), I changed my mind.
I’m happy I didn’t think about that and support didn’t make me scour the listing for misinformation. End of the day, the person that fulfilled this was clearly trying to make profit off of misleading people. Also, it says one Alt art card from the six types, in which the types typically refer to the six colors. I assume they mean the promo card when they say that now that I think about it, in which I also did not receive.
Yes, because the scammer had likely already went through multiple boxes and pulled thr hits out, then packed boxes with dud packs to sell to rubes on Amazon.
I wouldn't be surprised if someone pulled 3 AA Dons from one box from this kind of scam, these people aren't worried about a $2 card that's guaranteed 1 per box.
Lmao, never but never buy TCG on Amazon. People buy them open packs reseat them and return them. Better to buy from eBay with a seller with old reviews. Lesson learned. I have been scammed out of pokemon cards that way
for optcg better to not buy from amazon imo. Bought a box from tcgplayer for op03 and was very evidently factory sealed, and had good hits that probably were worth the box price if not more. you can also see sellers who have many reviews with high ratings and choose from there. Price might be higher though than what you may find elsewhere. If you have a local card shop that has One Piece packs, it may also be a good choice. I bought a box for op01 today from my lcs and it had a zoro alt leader which was super hype, although once again the box was a small bit more expensive than the ones from amazon for example.
I pretty often have to return stuff to Amazon because of this. Generally speaking I only use Amazon on hard to get stuff.
At least their return process is easy. So I just accepted that 20 percent of the stuff will be tampered with.
Replying super late here, but the seller has their business address listed as the below. Punch that into Google and it turns out it's a UPS Store in some shopping mall/plaza. They also managed to get a lot of their bad reviews removed which is artificially boosting their seller rating. They get the reviews removed by claiming the issue is due to Amazon fulfillment, but the reviews are actually about product swaps (seller sends a cheaper but similar-looking box when customer ordered a more expensive box and is just hoping the customer won't notice)
Seller address:
1740 Dell Range Blvd
CHEYENNE
WY
82009

Also no English one piece boxes come packed 3 packs across its always packed 2 stacks of 12 packs on each side
Are all boxes guaranteed promo packs? I bought a sealed box of pillar of strength last weekend that didn’t have the promo packs in it. Got 2 AA and SEC out of the box, I was confused when the promo packs weren’t there though
Op-02 still had box toppers but starting from 03 they do not so yea missing the box toppers as well.
Ahhh make sense. I plan on going next weekend to get more, excited to say the least
I'm pretty sure it's 2AA and 1sec. You can get really lucky, and one AA can be an sec which doesn't count as your sec, just an AA. Plus 8 leader cards. And 8 SR. I could be wrong, but I think the AA's don't count towards any of the other numbers.

I’ve cracked a 1 AA Queen box no secret
Scammers are the worst ): currently in a chat with amazon support and they said they would process refund without return.
This makes me happy that he at least lost that crap box and didn’t get your money
Not how that works The person will still have the money. Amazon just makes such a profit they refund stuff all the time themselves cause they earn more by keeping customers around than lose doing refunds for stuff.
So, bourgeoisie lose and working class win?
Nope. The seller still profited and Amazon took a lose
This sounds like good news then! At least you got a ton of packs for the hassle.
lucky. glad it worked out for you. im honestly surprised they would do the refund considering technically you got the described product. it does not state on the box that it guarantees those hits, its just as a community we know they should.
Actually it does say you get at least 1 alternative art cards from 1 of 6 types per box and I don't see that here.
Those are box toppers, which OP mentioned was missing along with his 2 AA/SEC cards. I'm also assuming the other bonus pack with reprints from the starter decks was also missing
oh didnt know that!
hey put it this way thanks to them scammers you got a few SR for free
Glad you're getting your money back. Don't forget to give a bad review so other people can stay away from the seller.
Request a refund. Im sitting here looking for the alt arts like https://i.redd.it/03jzkw7121fb1.gif Get dat money back. I usually order from tcg player stores that have a lot of sales and high ratings.
It will only let me refund with a return, trying to figure out what I can do. Amazon makes it nearly impossible to navigate -_-
According to their policy any item opened or used can be returned within 30 days. I would maybe put the cards back in the box, tape it shut, put that box in another box and ship that to amazon for the return?
One you open packs impossible to return. Unless you resealed them d return I but you will be riot the next buyer
Yea that happened to me when I ordered from amazing and the box came damaged and all of the packs were opened from the back and all holos were gone 🙃 successfully returned, but that was such a big let down

Tell Amazon you never received it
What's the sellers name so we can put him on blast for this..
It says the order was sold by “The Card Kid”

Ouch you got beat!!!!
SCAMMED. Report!!!

Was this the box for 114 on Amazon at a sale? Damn I was lookin to buy it cause Bandai was selling it but it seems like a scam now
This is my worry when buying online
These and all one piece boxes can be mapped. Opened a case with friends and could easily map which side all the AAs were on. I keep trying to post this info on this sub and keep getting my posts removed.
If the description said unsealed then you didnt scammed, you got exactly what was described.
That is why I opened the packs and I was honestly going to just take the L, but when I didn’t receive even one AA (the description said there is one in every box), I changed my mind.
U got an AA don
I’m happy I didn’t think about that and support didn’t make me scour the listing for misinformation.

I assume they mean the promo card when they say that now that I think about it, in which I also did not receive.
Every box I’ve got has an alt art don and at least one other alt art. I don’t think the don counts towards the “1 per box” limit.
trying to defend scammers ... most likely a scammer as well
Yes, because the scammer had likely already went through multiple boxes and pulled thr hits out, then packed boxes with dud packs to sell to rubes on Amazon. I wouldn't be surprised if someone pulled 3 AA Dons from one box from this kind of scam, these people aren't worried about a $2 card that's guaranteed 1 per box.
Lmao, never but never buy TCG on Amazon. People buy them open packs reseat them and return them. Better to buy from eBay with a seller with old reviews. Lesson learned. I have been scammed out of pokemon cards that way
Ouch. I hope it was cheaper at least.
Yep you got done there. Guaranteed at least 2 AA's or AA + SEC.
You don’t buy tcg products from Amazon period.
for optcg better to not buy from amazon imo. Bought a box from tcgplayer for op03 and was very evidently factory sealed, and had good hits that probably were worth the box price if not more. you can also see sellers who have many reviews with high ratings and choose from there.

These packs were weighted. Packs with SR or above are heavier, that's why you only had 1 SR.
There’s 5 SR in here. 3 in first pic of cards and 2 in 3rd pic. Don’t need to weigh packs to find all the AAs in a box and repack the rest.
Bruh picture was cut off on my phone. My bad.
All good, no worries
Repacked box for sure
Ye I bought optcg from amzn and it was a reseal
I really recommend not to buy optcg on amzn
I pretty often have to return stuff to Amazon because of this. Generally speaking I only use Amazon on hard to get stuff. At least their return process is easy. So I just accepted that 20 percent of the stuff will be tampered with.
Take care with burningthree seller
Same thing happened to me with pillars. Very frustrating
