This is one of the best videos ever no joke. You were super transparent and showed us exactly what you do I really appreciate that. I payed a little bit over 80 USD on another site so I’m glad I came across this before I ordered any more! This vid secured my subscription 😂✊🏼
Dude, this is hands down one of the best videos for someone returning to collect (like myself) I’ve been looking for everything covered in this video. Thank you!
I received my 1rst delivery from Amazon Japan two days ago. It arrived to me (US) in like 4 days via DHL. I ordered 6 Pokemon stuff: foam soap, soap dispenser, schedule planners, passport case, mask case and card sleeves. I'm a merchandise collector .
1 year later: I bet you wish you didnt tell everybody. Just seen this and checked and everything is pretty expensive. Most items are more than american prices by more than double. Maybe for exclusive items but even then they're pretty high.
You are a legend! Thanks so much, I had watch this before when you put it out but came back this time as a reference, you’re a genius it’s got over 5k views already , congrats!
I've ordered an etb from amazon and when i got it it was just the etb with a label. Like as in they took it off the shelf, put a shipping label on it and shipped it.
Whoaaa! NICE! Now this will boost my trades on the bus this year I have a few days till school so I need to start my new deck last year I got some cool ones so this is nice TY!

Very information! I may definitely look into that 😁👌🏻👍🏻💖
I have bought pokemon cards from USA amazon only a few times and every time they were tampered with and fake. I makes me really nervous ordering cards again from amazon. Is it easy to tell if the Japanese amazon cards are more reliable?
Hey man! Great video! I'm not sure if you've already touched on this but what are import fees like? Does DHL charge any brokerage fees to get this stuff over here? Thanks for your time!
i noticed the prices gone up but i dont mind, but how did you get pass the phone number for the japan one? do you use your normal phone number or something else?
My understanding is 1k yen is 10 dollars US but 39 dollars US for booster box still isn't worth it to me even if I get four because if its 20 dollars shipping if not more. then your only saving 5 dollars per box and its going to take 3 times as long to get to you. I will pay the extra 5 dollars and get it from US amazon so I can get it faster I dont want to wait 3 weeks to get something online when I'm I'm used to waiting like 3 or 4 days
Amazon US never has the newest sets available. And my last order from Amazon.jp which was Shiny Star V (not available in Amazon US yet) arrived in 6 days. Plus Amazon US almost never carries the additional items such as the Nessa Collection, Marnie Collection, and Japanese theme decks for sealed Collectors.
Hope you read this , I’m in japan right now visiting my wife’s family , what do you recommend I bring back to Canada I plan to open / hold / and resell I’ve looked everywhere for shiny star v and they’re sold out
M8 i wish i was going to japan atm xd you have to bring back Shiny star v booater box. Marnie box. Shiny crobat v box Triple vmax starter set Gl opening :)
All the ones I’ve gotten have been pretty light. I could be dead wrong but if I had to guess I’d think 1 to 2kg MAX. They’re small boxes, and Japanese cards are a bit thinner than English ones.
I have a question, I did all the process, and I want to buy a deck gengar vmax but when I go to like the description it says “safety information: false” so like does that mean all the cards in that deck are fake?
Just recently got into collecting and there are three cards I want in the Japanese set from battle region, and I don't want to wait for astral radiance (plus the Japan sets have less cards per set) if not Amazon is there any other place to buy the sets?
Just curious, you don't show at the end, but I get you need an American account and a japan account. But when you ship do you set the address to your house address or do you have to do something else? Would like a better description on shipping please. Thank you for any information.
Things have changed a lot since this video was made. They stopped shipping all ore orders to the USA. After a few weeks of release the newer sets should be available
Please help!! Does anyone know much about Japanese Cards? I’ve found my old stuff and have no idea! Would like to know the names of the cards for more research
Some boxes aren't available becuase they are sold out basically. I'm assuming you are looking for Shiny Star V. Hasn't been available since the last week of September
I have already made 3 orders and for me it has to be shipped by Amazon, if it's not shipped by them they won't ship it to the USA. Maybe that's also your problem.
Awesome video bro! Straightforward and honest! 👍 Question, how to you keep track on what’s coming out in Japan, especially the Pokémon Center exclusive boxes. And how do you know if it won’t be released in the states or not? Is there a Reddit or other site for that? I’m pretty new to boxed stuff and it’s quite confusing. Thanks!
@@TCGFunhouse Thanks! I got a question if you don’t mind. Do you know the how much the Kanazawa box weights? I ordered a few from a Japanese seller but I haven’t gotten them yet. Just making sure I’m not getting scammed. I don’t plan to open them yet.
Hey, I was wondering why it doesn't show any Amazon Prime items on the Japanese site. Do I have to have a prime account for it to show? I know it doesn't do much but I was just curious.
Amazon Japan doesn't let me sign in, even when specifying delivering to US and/or international shipping. While shiny star v would be nice, I was also looking to buy some other japanese pokemon products, but still needed to sign in, and it couldn't find my account. Not sure if anyone else has had this problem. Very informative video nonetheless! Hopefully I can get it to work at some point!
@@TCGFunhouse Thank you for responding! One more follow up, do you just have to use a regular credit/debit card when using Amazon Japan or can you use PayPal or payment service like it?
How much does customs cost if you are ordering a single pokemon card on eBay from Japan? I've always wanted to order from Japan on eBay, but I'm afraid of being charged an arm and a leg for customs/import duties.
This is one of the best videos ever no joke. You were super transparent and showed us exactly what you do I really appreciate that. I payed a little bit over 80 USD on another site so I’m glad I came across this before I ordered any more! This vid secured my subscription 😂✊🏼

Omg yessssss I can finally order the Japanese version.... you sir are a GOD. I will be watching your videos weekly now.
Awesome Anthony. Thanks for enjoying the video
I've noticed that too. I've been looking for Volt Tackle on Amazon.
What if those products are resealed/tampered?
Scams will always be around. Just try to use best judgement to avoid em
Awesomeness.. Japanese is always better!! .. Great Information.. An Easy & Cheaper way to get Japan Products shipped into US
I agree Sean. Love the japanese cards
Dude, this is hands down one of the best videos for someone returning to collect

This video really helped it is going to make collecting Japanese cards so much easier
Glad I could help !!!

How did you get past adding a number while signing up for Amazon japan? Im stuck?
does amazon japan charge for import fees to the u.s.?
Love that you did this video! Specially since you helped me to get my first Legendary Heartbeat box!
Nice !!!!!

I don't order any cards from USA amazon, I have had issues with that. But I have never had issues ordering from Amazon.JP
I need the Mew V deck box. The same Mew V we got in Darkness Ablaze.
Its a beauty
are the prices llike twice the price now because of a shortage of new sets? or did people catch onto this and shot the prices up?
Holy shit, this is great. Not only can I use this for pokemon, I can use this for Magic the Gathering. You're the best!
All kinds of Japanese exclusives
Time 2 catch up with you TCG Funhouse.Oooh Japanese.We think alike.
Man if only I started much sooner those prices are amazing

Very informative video!
Thanks !

Regular number
Thank you for this tutorial!
No worries. Great way to get the japanese goodies
Great content thanks for sharing
Thanke Mike
Would u still recommend Amazon a year later?? Or look elsewhere??
Look elsewhere. It’s completely different. Now.
@@TCGFunhouse where should we be looking
I try adding to cart but it kept saying cant ship to US? Has anyone have had this problem?
Nope. They changed it. So much demand they stopped shipping to USA on new hot sets
My understanding is 1k yen is 10 dollars US but 39 dollars US for booster box still isn't worth it to me even if I get four because if its 20 dollars shipping if not more. then your only saving 5 dollars per box and its going to take 3 times as long to get to you.

Awesome awesome awesome video but I can’t find the Vmax starter box with Charizard anywhere
Thank you! This really saves money!
You are welcome
Yo, what's happening guys?
Whats up benny?!?!?!
@@TCGFunhouse just relaxing, got a fresh cut.. I mite post a video
Hope you read this , I’m in japan right now visiting my wife’s family , what do you recommend I bring back to Canada
I plan to open / hold / and resell
I’ve looked everywhere for shiny star v and they’re sold out
Tag All Stars is the next best Japanese Set !!
M8 i wish i was going to japan atm xd you have to bring back
Shiny star v booater box.
Marnie box.
Shiny crobat v box
Triple vmax starter set
Gl opening :)
How much do the boxes weigh as it adds. $5 per kg
All the ones I’ve gotten have been pretty light. I could be dead wrong but if I had to guess I’d think 1 to 2kg MAX. They’re small boxes, and Japanese cards are a bit thinner than English ones.
Love the video
Is there a place to see which sets (jp) correspond to which sets (usa)?
Try Pokellector.com
It wont let me buy anything without signing in and it wont let me sign in on amazon japan
Have to create a new account when you switch country’s
Awesome Video!!
Do you still use this method?
From when you posted this to now prices have doubled
It has def changed a hit since this. You can still find the older sets but the pre orders have stopped unfortunately
@@TCGFunhouse maybe an updated video? :D
How did you get past adding a number while signing up for Amazon japan? Im stuck?
Not sure where you are stuck. Just have to create a new account in order to buy
I have a question, I did all the process, and I want to buy a deck gengar vmax but when I go to like the description it says “safety information: false” so like does that mean all the cards in that deck are fake?
Italy based here ✌🏻 what about custom fees? 🧐
Great guide
Thanks Jo !
Just recently got into collecting and there are three cards I want in the Japanese set from battle region, and I don't want to wait for astral radiance (plus the Japan sets have less cards per set) if not Amazon is there any other place to buy the sets?
eBay is quite reliable now a days. Just pay attention to seller feedbacks
Just curious, you don't show at the end, but I get you need an American account and a japan account. But when you ship do you set the address to your house address or do you have to do something else? Would like a better description on shipping please. Thank you for any information.
they no longer ship pre-orders to the USA. And a lot of product doesn't anymore either sadly
@@TCGFunhouse ok thank you, guess I will have to find another way, if you know one it would be wonderful to know
Can you not do Amazon prime with a Japanese account?
I believe you can make a whole new Amazon prime. But you cannot use your previous owned US prime
Yeah i made a new email for my Japanese account.
There is still shipping even with Japanese Amazon prime just so everyone knows !
Damn some great content I never knew about. Nice
Thanks Joe
This is amazing! Only problem is that I’m still unable to have the products to ship to America on any product I select. Anyway around this at all? 😭
Things have changed a lot since this video was made. They stopped shipping all ore orders to the USA. After a few weeks of release the newer sets should be available
Its not recognizing my account when I switch it to Japan, btw im from the US. Do I have to make a new account for a different country?
Correct I will need to make a new account
Fun house? YAY
Please help!!
Does anyone know much about Japanese Cards? I’ve found my old stuff and have no idea!
Would like to know the names of the cards for more research
Is the price the only difference??
So I was trying to buy it and keep saying that I have to sign in do I have to make a Japanese Amazon account ?
Yes. Need to make a Japanese account. But it’s free
My cart keeps saying empty after I add it to my cart
Best japan website to order?
A lot of the listings on Amazon have a few bad reviews saying the packs were opened and fake cards, how do I know which are legit?
it is a risk just like any other online buying. I have not had any issues tho
This doesn’t work for me I guess im unlucky. It says they can’t ship the booster box to the u.s
Some boxes aren't available becuase they are sold out basically. I'm assuming you are looking for Shiny Star V. Hasn't been available since the last week of September
I have already made 3 orders and for me it has to be shipped by Amazon, if it's not shipped by them they won't ship it to the USA.
Maybe that's also your problem.
Awesome video bro! Straightforward

Just doing research and following some accurate Pokémon websites like pokebeach and poke guardian
@@TCGFunhouse Thanks! I got a question if you don’t mind. Do you know the how much the Kanazawa box weights? I ordered a few from a Japanese seller but I haven’t gotten them yet. Just making sure I’m not getting scammed. I don’t plan to open them yet.
Is this still a good strategy to get your Japanese booster boxes? Or do you have a new one now?
I just started opening Japanese boasted boxes and definitely liked them a lot, I might like Japanese artwork more then English ones
it still work for already released sets. but they have indeed completely stop taking pre-orders
So you have to have two primes? An American one and a Japanese one?
Japanese prime is not required. Just a new Amazon account.
Hey, I was wondering why it doesn't show any Amazon Prime items on the Japanese site. Do I have to have a prime account for it to show? I know it doesn't do much but I was just curious.
I’m honestly not sure
I’m trying to get some Shiny Star V! Any tips?
Keep trying. You can also check Mecha Japan and Plaza Japan.
Would this be for uk as well like the Amazon change to japan?
It should be. But im not sure
Amazon Japan doesn't let me sign in, even when specifying delivering to US and/or international shipping. While shiny star v would be nice, I was also looking to buy some other japanese pokemon products, but still needed to sign in, and it couldn't find my account. Not sure if anyone else has had this problem.

You need to create a Brand New account for Amazon.jp
It will not recognize your US account and allow you to use it.
@@TCGFunhouse Thank you for responding! One more follow up, do you just have to use a regular credit/debit card when using Amazon Japan or can you use PayPal or payment service like it?
@@EvanCoaster1 did you find out how to get it working mate? I’m having the same problem
How does the payment work. Since it's in YEN how do go about paying?
Amazon does the conversion automatic
but how do you handle the customs cost? isnt that like a really high amount you have to pay on importing them from japan? or how do you avoid them?
Amazon handles them
Do you have to make a Japanese amazon account?
Yes you have to make a separate Japanese account
Do the cards have a silver/grey border and energys in the corners of the back?
Gray borders on all Japanese cards yes.
That Shiny set it highly speculated to be Pokémon 25th Anniversary set.
Its going to be awesome
Why would anybody dislike this
Just happens haha
How much does customs cost if you are ordering a single pokemon card on eBay from Japan? I've always wanted to order from Japan on eBay, but I'm afraid of being charged an arm and a leg for customs/import duties.
the amazon sellers always seem shady to me, just look at some of the reviews
I have had zero issues with Amazon Japan. I have had a couple of issues on Amazon Usa
But do I have to convert money?
For some reason it won’t let me login when I’m on the Japanese site
U have to create a new log in
I'm deffiebtly late but maybe someone will find this helpful. Roughly about every 1000 yen is about 10 USD.
Good call out
How do i order it if its in yen and not usd
Can u still buy on America Amazon ?
Yes. Different log ins
Helpful guide man, do you just go off of the seller reviews to judge whether they're legit or not or are most of them reliable on there?
I like to go for the Fulfilled by Amazon choices
Does buying Pokémon card like this cost extra or anything? So would it cost extra to pay in yen with credit card?
I'm not 100% sure but I think Amazon does the transfer of demonization for us. Don't think they charge for it, but not 100%
