    Amazon JP was great on the boxes of Jet Black/Silver Lance I ordered. Was $140 shipped for 3 booster boxes and they made it to FL within 4 days of shipping. Sadly they didnt seem to get in much for the last 3 sets.

      Paid 258.95 including postage and import charges for 3 booster boxes of shiny v star,

    Thank you for the great service of giving incentive for people to scalp more our cards. We, players here in Japan, can't barely find products because of people who scalp the cards from here. You should remind your viewers that if you aren't a resident in Japan you are NOT ALLOWED to join lotteries.
    You criticize the scalpers in you country, make this kind of content, and scalp our cards here... What a hypocrite.

    • @chevals5840
      @chevals5840 3 роки тому

      I hear your point and understand your frustration. Maybe the pokemon company in Japan should do as they did here in North America lately and print more product, so scalpers get burned and the players/collectionnors can buy new sets at normal prices. Hopefully if they do so, it won’t degrade the quality of the cards like it did here. Let’s be honest, Japanese cards have the best quality.

    Good topic - didn't really answer best way to get involved in lotteries.. One per person so some of these proxies won't work for trying to get a lottery draw. I imagine you need to use one with a unique address to be able to enter. My main aim is to be able to get stuff direct from Pokemon Center without paying scalpers so getting involved in the lottery is my main aim..
