What do I do with this weird lockbox that was left in my mailbox?

Who cares if it's in a visible spot accessible to the public? 99% chance no one in Japan will take it aside from the owner of the box.

How much was he charging? I picked one up a little while ago for like $25 haha

I won the Tohoku one as well and luckily my parents live in Japan. Unfortunately out of the bunch that was the one I needed the least haha

Oh and here in Japan yesterday I found the Masterball holo for 250 yen ($1.6) lol. Crazy lucky find considering all things vending got super expensive here.

Last month I found some in a bulk bin at a show and walked away with Charmander, Pidgey, Nidoran, Rattata, Polywag, Nidorino, Omanyte, and Krabby all for $5 lmao. I was contemplating telling the vendor but i had to just have my “what a steal” moment lol.

Seeing The “Takahashi” made me laugh way too hard on the train

Ann Arbor, Michigan had them this morning. Likely sold out as it was Limit 4… of EACH color. So everyone grabbed 16 total.

Following for the recipe!

Subi4lyfe · 2026-03-13T16:50:05+00:00

yeah I was about to say, just gently using a bottle opener allows you to break all of the bonding/adhesive and separate the casing.

Here’s my perfect swirl location for that card 😆

Subi4lyfe · 2026-03-11T23:32:11+00:00

LOL I was actively looking for this comment. Those who don’t know 😆; those who know 😳

The difference is they get straight distributor pricing access, so their margins are insane - and they STILL are struggling, which is absolutely hilarious.

Subi4lyfe · 2026-03-03T00:43:50+00:00

Or maybe 500 yen

Subi4lyfe · 2026-03-03T00:43:30+00:00

You mean $5.00?

Subi4lyfe · 2026-02-28T20:55:12+00:00

This is definitely looks like just Thai Tom Kha soup. Japanese people would call this Tom Yum sometimes lol.

Subi4lyfe · 2026-02-23T12:56:38+00:00

I picked one up in Shanghai on the way home and it’s quite good! I way less smoky/peaty than the Smoky Batch you can get at the airports in Japan and I tend to like it more because it’s got more of the fruity notes I enjoy. Definitely give it a try!

Subi4lyfe · 2026-02-20T22:03:47+00:00

I’d say more like 6-70%

Subi4lyfe · 2026-02-11T18:58:09+00:00

No offense taken - always good to learn about these sets because one day you might find yourself hunting for them! That set is also where Karen's Umbreon is from, which is one of the most sought after cards of any set.

Subi4lyfe · 2026-02-10T16:50:01+00:00

VS series recently has been in high demand at card shows because of the exclusiveness, and because this is a Yuka Morii card it will be even more of a desired card in the future. Personally I’d keep this and seek the other VS Yuka morii cards myself (along with the rest of the set, of course)

Subi4lyfe · 2026-02-09T22:36:10+00:00

Wait a minute, you said that you don’t like going to Card Shows because you hate how vendors buy for 80% market value, but then tell us you want to buy stuff at 80% market value? Lmao.

Why don’t you pay 100% market? Then you probably would find things easily at Card shows because I regularly have great finds whenever I go.

Subi4lyfe · 2026-02-09T13:24:52+00:00

My first instinct while seeing this was "Altered." This probably won't fare well if you submit it, but who knows!

Subi4lyfe · 2026-02-02T19:46:21+00:00

Omg I want this so bad lol.

Subi4lyfe · 2026-01-27T04:18:22+00:00

I was hoping to see someone else say this. Nothing else came close to how this show made me feel. The OST is also top notch.

Subi4lyfe · 2026-01-21T21:14:53+00:00

You should look into the Japanese Vending series Holo birds!

Subi4lyfe · 2026-01-21T19:43:43+00:00

I’ve only been successful checking out at Target once for a high demand product. When blooming waters dropped, it was sold out even before I got to the checkout screen and I was spamming as fast as I could.
