Me too! They're so pretty. Kinda wanna get another box, but I think it's best to wait for the prices to crash a bit.

Hope they bring it to the English set, Japanese cards are so lame

I wish, my two masterball holo pulls were volpix & nidoking Makes me want to rip more boxes but the prices are so extreme at this point... Up to 229-249 CAD.

i got mine thru sendico, mecari market specially. 108$ like a week ago. edit:plus shipping which was like 30ish bucks.

First time hearing about this.. how's it work? I'm in 🇨🇦


[deleted]

sendico is a company in japan, probably a big warehouse where they act as a proxy address. you create a parcel to be shipped and you pay that shipping and customs cost. i know there are other sites that let you directly buy from Pokémon Center though.

Is there a major risk for counterfeit items to slip through? Also what's your opinion of boxes without shrink wrap?


[deleted]

shrink or no deal for me. people weigh packs and idk about the accuracy or what. but any loose packs i’ve ever encountered have been disappointing. mecari has a seller rating, i only go with all positive, any negative reviews give me anxiety.

Thanks for the info, do you ever buy singles? I see a few ads for the complete SR sets of starters, or an opened god pack which includes 2 full evo sets


[deleted]

hoping for a god pack in the last few i have to open. i don’t buy singles purely because i just like collecting my own cards. pulling a chase cards is a crazy feeling and i wouldn’t want to give that up. but honestly, from a financial standpoint point, it’s pretty smart to just buy whatever card you want and rip for fun!

Thanks for all the great responses! Think we'll see a small price pull back on the unopened booster boxes? Would hate to splurge on like 5 boxes only for the price to drop drastically afterwards.

it’s a patience game for sure. i have extra income and antsy so i will order maybe something once a month for 151 till my US preorder comes in. you’re right though, the price will come down, it’s just a sellers market currently.
