    So many cards, such intriguing artwork.
    Any advice for those going to these sorts of places & lacking a tad in the language dept?

      The best thing is that you don’t need to be good at Japanese to shop around for cards in Japan at all!

      @ Well, maybe a good translator app would suffice.

      Most Japanese people understand simple English as well, just point and say this card lol

    I feel like every time I go, the Kyoto Pokemon Center is always less crowded compared to Osaka. Was lucky enough to get the Tatsugiri rice spoon there. 😂

      @@japanesecowboys That’s a really popular set. Lot of people pick it up the moment it hits the shelf. Most of the packs go for like $10 a pop online cheap.
      I got lucky once finding a binder set at Target. Pulled the gold Mew EX

    Hey awesome video man, i am planning to queue up at pokemon center kyoto on the release day of terastal festival. Can I ask if you have experience with getting products on release day in Kyoto?

      Yep! Just be prepared to wait in line in a queue because Japan loves waiting in lines lol but usually pretty stocked!

    Friend was hunting for 4 weeks trying to get me VS and Vending at a decent price, hardly any luck. Then I realised USA, China and European sellers seemed to have visited and hoovered everything up. A shame for collectors 😢

      Exactly! I buy for my own collections and now it’s hard to find any good stuff

    How many times did you see gold stars in any of the shops? Were they very rare to come by?

    • @japanesecowboys
      @japanesecowboys  13 днів тому

      I would occasionally see them but it’s definitely a lot cheaper than buying it in America Forsure!
