Why Brilliant Stars for Pokemon Vending

- Out of print since the Sword & Shield era ended, so sealed supply only gets scarcer
- Standard pack dimensions that drop clean through 22mm coils
- Pair with our Top-Loader Vending Cases (50 Pack) for jam-free vending
- Ships nationwide to all 50 states, packed to protect against bent corners and damage
Build the coil mix: run Brilliant Stars as your out-of-print Charizard anchor, then pair it with a current-era draw like Pokémon Perfect Order booster packs and a value column like Pokémon Surging Sparks booster packs, so every price point on the keypad gives customers a reason to come back.

Top-loader cases: why Brilliant Stars packs fit VTM Pokémon vending machines
A sealed booster pack is light, flexible, and foil-cornered, the wrong shape for any spiral coil on its own. VTM solved that with a rigid top-loader vending case, a clear acrylic sleeve sized to the 22mm coil pitch that turns each Brilliant Stars pack into a uniform unit the precision coil can push and the product pusher can keep feeding forward.
- Protects corners and edges through the drop, so every pack arrives display-grade.
- Crystal-clear, UV-resistant acrylic keeps the pack art visible through the glass.
- Reusable across restocks. One 50-pack ($22, about 44 cents per case) runs a single machine for months.
- Also fits Magic: The Gathering, One Piece, Lorcana, and Yu-Gi-Oh! packs.
Built for VTM Pokémon vending machines
Every VTM Pokémon vending machine, from the $2,850 Mini TCG to the $5,000 Slim Tower 2.0, runs the same 22mm coil, top-loader case, and product pusher system, so a Brilliant Stars pack loads the same way in a wall unit at a gas station or a floor tower in a grocery aisle.

22mm coil, product pusher, top-loader case
VTM machines do not need an elevator or a robotic arm to deliver cards. A specialized 22mm coil paired with a rigid top-loader pack case does the job, and a product pusher keeps the row feeding forward. Traditional trading card kiosks move product with robotic arms or elevator systems and run $10,000 to $20,000 before you vend a single pack. VTM engineered a purpose-built coil that relies on proven spiral vending, so the lineup runs $2,850 to $5,000.
The same coil, case, and pusher system is sized to each machine's tray. Wall-mounted machines come with a mounting bracket and hardware and can also be bolted to a pedestal stand to stand on the floor. Machines ship unwrapped; TCG wraps are sold separately at VTM Vending.
