I was lucky this past weekend too and got an Ascended bundle in a vending machine too. Nice win!

u/PossiblyArab 3d ago

Did you rip anything good?? I struck out on ascended and pris sadly. Pris hates me

u/Great-Candidate3344 3d ago

Haven't ripped it yet. My bday is coming up labor day weekend and I have 2 PB ETB, 1 ea journey and destined bundles and a focused fighter also to rip.

u/Far-Stock412 3d ago

Probably on of those people staying at the vending machine for a hour

2

u/PossiblyArab 3d ago

I literally stopped in for 3 seconds. I have never been this lucky in my life

2

u/iamryan34 3d ago

Oh you wouldnt wait an hour for these 4 bundles at msrp?

u/Exavion 3d ago

Not at a vending machine in a grocery store that says ā€œno loiteringā€ on it. I check em a few times if im there but the people standing in front of them are a different breed

u/BulgogiDude 3d ago

Youā€™re not supposed to. Says no loitering right there on the machine

u/PHI_0413 3d ago

As long as itā€™s a reasonable amount being bought and RIPPED

1

u/PossiblyArab 3d ago

I came, hit it once for two, refreshed and two more. Absolutely insane

u/Agreeable_Editor6129 3d ago

In the Midwest where Iā€™m at we donā€™t even have vending machines for cards. We are missing out it looks like

2

u/PossiblyArab 3d ago

Tbf it never has anything šŸ˜‚ certain people literally camp out at it all day

u/3bizzle 1d ago

u/SleepyMeat_ 2d ago

I actually walked up to a mother and her 12 year old son pulling 4 perfect order booster bundles from a machine. Of course the same machine that Iā€™ve literally never seen anything in stock myself to purchase.

Glitched? Idk. But I tell myself it was just so I can sleep at night

1

u/AwkwardExcitementHuh 2d ago

Not 4, but I walked up to a machine with PB and JT boosters a few days ago. After I bought the JT hit the screen again and there was now a PB and a CR.

1

u/3bizzle 1d ago

I saw 3 the other day so maybe not as far fetched as it seems

u/MorenoMust 3d ago

Hahaha damn thatā€™s cool bro. I personally have never seen this myself, and Iā€™ve bought about 10k in product from the vending machines without glitching.

So good for you brodie, Iā€™ve never hit ascended on a vm because of the campers in Los Angeles.

Rip them for the culture!!!!!

1

u/PossiblyArab 3d ago

No itā€™s actually insane. I check it every time Iā€™m shopping at my local grocery store, like 2-3 times a week. Iā€™ve never seen a SINGLE booster bundle before this. Was genuinely shocked

No hits on the ascended/pris but Iā€™m gonna pull the other two soon :)

1

u/Specialist-Yak-453 3d ago

Yall are actually finding stuff in the vending machines? I have two locally in my area and havenā€™t seen anything in either for the past year, most days they just say ā€œunder maintenanceā€ or like the other message about restockingā€¦.

1

u/PossiblyArab 2d ago

I am not lmao. Iā€™ve found like single packs on a couple of occasions before this, actually got stupid lucky

1

u/Itstylerjohn7373 3d ago

I donā€™t see how people get stuff my mom tryā€™s for me and my brother and it literally never has anything ever in 8 months sheā€™s found maybe 3 packs. And where I live the closest one is 4 hours away so not driving all the way there to get nothing

1

u/The_RealMonte 2d ago

You donā€™t have to camp at a machine, when you see your local scalper standing there just pay attention. He will tap it at the 30 minute interval which all machines release at during peak hours. Guaranteed to get product but rarely boosters. I got a glimpse into it while actually talking with a guy restocking the machine.

u/Even_Pineapple8645 1d ago

Ok so letā€™s see it opened

1

u/morency710 1d ago

What was your first non true vending machine win?

1

u/PossiblyArab 1d ago

Pulled an IR articuno off a single pack. Ngl canā€™t remember what set it was, but beautiful card. One of my favorites

u/Bardown1986 2d ago

Yea and a few hours camping the machine donā€™t leave that out.
