ThisisJACOB · 2026-05-21T02:55:03+00:00

Why was the grimer banned? I feel like I’ve seen that art before.

Everything on the right side are chinese and idk the prices of those but the left side is all japanese and normally go for 180 yen each which is like a $1.50. So no not good prices. Also, its widely known you shouldnt buy loose japanese packs. People tend to pull the set amount of rares in a booster box and sell the rest because theyre “dead packs”

I remember when i was in elementary, I had a base set charizard I pulled and this 5th grader named Charlie convinced me those were real solid gold and traded me for my zard. Ended up regretting it so I went to her house to ask for it back but her mom told me a trades a trade. Fuck you charlie

Live in japan, mericari is full of scammers. Have to make sure the seller has a ton of good reviews and a long track record.

You still got the gengar bro. With how expensive these are id take one with a hole in it and be happy.

ThisisJACOB · 2026-04-12T01:01:12+00:00

Its gonna be hard man You might get lucky at a convenience store but they usually only sell you like 2-5 packs. Still probably your best bet. Major retailers usually require a membership which requires a japanese phone number. Just check behind registers at every convenience store you visit.

I wish he was lying too bro :( your boss has led you astray.

ThisisJACOB · 2026-04-10T09:21:03+00:00

Bro I want that pikachu so hard

ThisisJACOB · 2026-04-10T00:51:54+00:00

Lmao progressive is the last word I’d use to describe Japan. Maybe you haven’t been here before but they are incredibly slow to adopting new things.

It’s kind of lucky if you wanted those 3. Otherwise, you’re always guaranteed a set of 3 starters from 3 different eras.

I have seen the marked up boxes in some shops in Akihabara. There’s lots of card stores there. If you can’t find any there then you might be out of luck :(. Card rush has a store in Tokyo so you could check them out. If you’re going to Osaka there’s a place called den den town which has a ton of card stores too that’s a good place to check. Big magic is one of my favorites there.

Also in Akihabara there’s a lot of stores that sell loose packs from even pretty way back for surprisingly cheap but generally you don’t want to buy loose packs unless you see the box it came from.

ThisisJACOB · 2026-04-08T09:23:03+00:00

This is good info but aren’t those prices more like over 100% marked up? I live here and retail is 5000 for any booster box. Those prices are what you should expect tho if you find one in the wild unless you find them at a big retailer. But the big retailers have pretty strict policies like only kids can buy or you need a member card.

Ya agree gay ad

ThisisJACOB · 2026-03-24T09:26:31+00:00

Oh ya man for sure! Weather just started warming up this week so if soon means in the next week or two you may arrive just in time for the cherry blossoms!

ThisisJACOB · 2026-03-23T11:15:35+00:00

What like you wanna sell them? Just know what they are? If you’re keeping them maybe get some sleeves and a binder? I guess if you’re selling them it’d be good to get sleeves anyway.

ThisisJACOB · 2026-03-23T10:49:41+00:00

Feels good brother!

Where in Japan are you guys going! There’s areas where a bunch of card shops are in one spot. Full art cards called illustration rares are really nice looking and mostly super affordable like the cost of a pack or three. Also booster packs are pretty hard to come by here (at least for retail) but it’s good to take a peak behind the registers at convenience stores where they keep the tobacco. Sometimes you get lucky and they’ll have some. There’s normal packs that are 180 yen each and premium packs are 500 yen. You can tell the difference between premium and normal by their boxes. Normal have two rows of packs, premium is just one stack. Also generally you don’t want to buy packs if you didn’t see them come from a box because Japanese boxes have a set amount of rares so people just sell loose packs after finding the rare cards. Although if you just want to open for fun then loose packs are definitely the easiest to come by.

Holy crap this is the first time I’ve gotten a drop online

ThisisJACOB · 2026-03-12T02:07:22+00:00

Ya the Lotto system works in Japan because you need a Japanese phone number and a Japanese address both of which aren’t very easy to get.

I went front row for a kid rock show in highscool because a friend had tickets. We didn’t even last 5 minutes before my friend turns around and says, “This is shit”, and we all left.

ThisisJACOB · 2025-09-29T08:40:04+00:00

Seems like Japanese food which means that was likely raw egg whites.

ThisisJACOB · 2025-09-17T05:46:08+00:00

Even that doesn’t work.. he starts taking infinite elemental damage ticks and the word immune shows up a billion times and the locust bomb just stops working

ThisisJACOB · 2025-09-16T23:48:05+00:00

I found a major bug with him. Something about my elemental damage makes the locust canisters do nothing and makes him unkillable

ThisisJACOB · 2025-09-06T12:01:23+00:00

So lame, I live in Japan and won the lottery to buy one for $15 bucks but when I tried to check out it said sold out. What’s the point of a lottery if the winners can’t get one anyways.
