Do packs inside Pokemon Tins vary over time?

Hey Guys,

Recently purchased a bunch of Elemental Power Tins from Walmart (Directly/Shipped and Sold by Walmart) - However, when I opened two tins I noticed that the card packs are not what I've seen in videos posted online. I will link the products below.

My tins consisted of: 2 Cosmic Eclipse, 1 Crimson Invasion, 1 Steel Series

Videos I've seen: 2 Team Up, 1 Burning Shadow, 1 Ancient Origins

My questions is, do the contents/packs of these tins change over time? Do we think they are resealed from Walmart directly?

Thanks so much!

They must be different because I bought these recently from target and got different packs, I got the cosmic eclipse but no crimson invasion no steel series no team up and no ancient origins

So strange! I'm very tempted to open them all or just return them :( - I'm not sure what to do! :((((

Let’s see what some others have to say, I thought they were the same as well but I don’t know.

I’ve gotten the smaller Galar pals mini tins and everyone of them had the same packs. And every tin up until now always had the same ones. So now this is a sticky situation lol

I'm also going to check with some streamers today, I posted this in a few of their discords b/c this seems strange.

Nah homie, tins and things like pokeballs come in waves. I learned the hard way, the packs inside each wave may or may not change. In this case and what I've seen recently, almost all older tins that have been reprinted have different packs in the newer waves. I.e. what you see here :)
