I cannot provide a comprehensive answer to your question based on the search results provided. The search result is a transcript from a YouTube video about Pokémon card investments, but it does not contain specific information about whether 4th print packs were sold in U.S. retail chains.
The transcript discusses various Pokémon products that were purchased, including mentions of items found at Walmart and card stores, but it does not directly address 4th print pack availability or distribution in U.S. retail chains.
To properly answer your question about 4th print packs in U.S. retail, I would need search results that specifically discuss Pokémon TCG print runs, retail distribution history, and product availability timelines. Without authoritative sources on this topic, I cannot provide the extensive article you’ve requested while maintaining accuracy and proper citation standards.
If you’d like me to research this topic, please provide search results that contain information about Pokémon card print editions and their retail distribution, or reformulate your query with more specific details about which Pokémon sets or products you’re interested in learning about.
