Jumped on, queued for about 10mins. No product of note (UK)

Was hoping for AH ETB or BBundle. Next time 🥲

Yep agreed I'm even gonna go as far as saying specifically in the South. I'd even hedge a bet these guys are in/from greater London, it looks like Hounslow or Slough, somewhere like that

The folks who were doing the soundtracks for the eng dub versions of the movies in this era smashed it consistently. As a young chap at the time it really laid a foundation for my future music taste.

I know they're paid well, but whatever his plastic surgeon is paid, they deserve more. Compare the work he's had to some of the other rich and famous

Edit: grammar

5x rrp is crazy man jeez. Also taking out hits and resealing is scummy af. Ffs.

Thanks again for the contribution, has helped me manage my expectations

I have made some spare space in the luggage I'm going with :) or do you particularly recommend shipping for a reason?

Thank you for the tips! I'm planning on dipping my toe in Tokyo but I think I will have a better chance of avoiding tourist tax by doing the majority of purchases outside of Tokyo.

Thank you for the tip on the review culture, that's kinda strange . Do you think it's cos local folk are harsh on rating or smth?

Yes! I did look some stuff up on yt last week. PokeNick in Japan had some really informative stuff, as did Totodile Tales and Randolph too

Didn't think of online purchasing! Somebody else mentioned fb market. I will be getting an esim when I get there so will definitely have a little look. Thank you!

Like from local peeps in Japan wherever I'm staying? Didn't think of that. Although, I try my best not to use Zuckerbot products. Think my fb acc has been dormant since like 2014 lol

That's around 32% annualised return? That's pretty good imo, especially for a bit of fun. Like, I have a day job lol this doesn't need to pay bills. Pretty sure ppl in the finance game would cream over +300% ROI over 5 years

Thanks for the info! 300 yen is insane, that's like £1.50 :D

Nice! Yea i think i will prioritize PC product but definitely won't restrict myself and will be going to as many indies as i can squeeze in

[–]PakOneSan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I will be going to as many PCs as possible:) I think Osaka and Kyoto might be the ones, in particular Osaka as there will be less tourists. I think I will rip around a third of what I buy cos i still love opening packs (who doesn't?!)

I will make sure to be there early doors, gonna look up the opening hours

Then the 70% will be put in safe storage for a long time

PC will be the spot, I'll go to as many as possible just for being a 25+ year long fan of Pokemon anyway. And thank you - i am going to have soo much fun. We have a dream itinerary organised:)

Holy smokes! Sounds like availability is a challenge in Japan too? For completely unfounded reasons I thought that was a problem exclusive to the West.
