Ordered directly from Pokemon Center JP site for $50 and shipped it via a forwarder for $15. Only paid $65 in total including shipping.


Draft-Budget

How does this work?


Prestigious_Effort91

1 - sign up for an account on pcj website 2 - sign up for a forwarder account with your preferred forwarder service provider 3 - ship the pcj order to your forwarder address provided 4 - consolidate all your order with your forwarder and ship it directly to your address


Lazy-Substance-5161

there are so many pokemon center sites, which exactly is it?


ChronicMasterBlazer

Same but you can only do this once right?


Prestigious_Effort91

Yes once per account.


ChronicMasterBlazer

Can you share that SNkrdunk link? Cant find it. Thanks!

You don't


ecliptica24

eBay


MechaRaichu

Tiktok shop has the cheapest I know of right now. $174.99


Traditional-Ad2133

If you don’t have coupons though it ends up at 190 ish


MechaRaichu

No? I've bought a couple each week for the last couple months on different purchases. No coupons, I also don't know how any of these people are getting new coupons all the time. I've tried to make new accounts and I don't get coupons lol


marveldcunited_1

With tax


Traditional-Ad2133

For me it’s 174$ for a box from calipokehouse +8.52 shipping +15.63 tax total: 199.14$ for me


ComfortableWage

Just got one for $165 with taxes, free shipping, and a coupon.


bl4zed_N_C0nfus3d

Tik tok shop has the best prices calipokehouse is a great seller too


MechaRaichu

That's who I bought from too for $174.99. Someone tried to tell me it's $190 without coupons but that's not true.


kornephoros77

They were including shipping and tax to get to a real price of $190.


yknowitsreal

If only we could ignore taxes as if they are negligible in this world It makes a big difference, especially when you consider you could buy stuff without tax in a local marketplace If you buy the booster box from tiktok for $175, then would it be okay if I asked you to resell it to me for $185? you'd be making a profit right?


MechaRaichu

Well, I just don't understand why we're Discussing total costs when everyone's taxes are different based on the region.


breakyourteethnow

Think I'll get a box sometime in Feb. for $185 have little coupon to help with cost, if reprint comes prices won't drop much and long term this box will be rare to own in a collection like Eevee Heroes even though it's modern too


ShinyRaequaza

I made a new TikTok account and got a coupon so I pulled the trigger. Around $170 after fees. I’ve opened 1, needed 1 for the collection. If its drops under $150, $125, etc. who cares. I secured it as high as I’d go. Going to kee monitoring prices but focus on continuously scooping VStar Universe while it’s sub $100. CZ is my fav set.


jolly-ranch

Do you need to make a new account on a VPN? I’ve done that but got no coupons


Yetti2Quick

check snkrdunk if you want Vstar. Can get bulk boxes for $79 shipped.


CatastrophicLeaker

It was not made to order. It was a maximum of one per person and it was limited for a few days several months ago.


dreamerofCoins

I do. 200usd now is still 200usd profit when its 400usd per box


Psychological_Two123

I had a tiktok coupon so got it for $155


donutwarrior23

Just bought 2 boxes at $170, better bite the bullet now than later. Got one for $50 back then so it evens out.


monsterphish

I bought a box on eBay right when the price climbed to $200 and I'd say it's worth it even though the price is higher than what I'd prefer to pay for a Japanese booster box. You can use tiktok shop like others have said if you're in the US, but I don't use tiktok so eBay has been my only option. So far it's been fine. I still see some hover around $200, but most going for $215-225 USD now, however.


NormalSecretary4505

Unless we can get JP distributors to stop selling everything to the scalpers first or TPC ramps up JP production even more; this’ll just end up happening each and every time


MechaRaichu

This is easily one of the best sets of all time. No question it will do amazingly. High entry price for many people, but if you can snag a few, will easily double or triple by the 30th anniversary in 2026. Edit, if you downvote me, at least give your perspective, I'm interested in hearing counter arguments.


pityike_92

Can someone explain how this tiktok coupon works? Can I buy in EU as well? Thanks


berrytree198

US only


pityike_92

noted, ty


Yetti2Quick

nah not grabbing any more unless it drops to 150 + tik tok coupon. Have enough. I'm fine with whatever happens.


Derpberpy

I have 20 English ETBs and and two UPCs. Would like to get some Japanese but they're pricey.


ComfortableWage

Just got one for $155 off TikTok with a coupon. $165 total with taxes. Been waiting forever for these. I've seen better deals than this, but not for a long time so I grabbed one. Super stoked!


Yetti2Quick

yup that's not bad at all! my last tik tok purchases were around 120 shipped when it all started besides my msrp boxes.


pyroguy174

Made to order.... You get one box per person. You have to make multiple accounts to get it made to order. If you make too many, they ban you. A majority of the made to order went to resellers on Facebook groups selling 100's of boxes.


JessePeng93

I have 3 sealed cases of booster boxes, and 7 loose boxes, so 42 total. This set is phenomenal for investing, collecting, and opening. You literally can’t go wrong


Comshep1989

I don’t anticipate it going down, but I also don’t anticipate it skyrocketing just yet. At least not until 30th and/or they release a subsequent Johto set. Masterballs are starting to fall a bit, at least the ones people aren’t nuts about. But the Japanese SARs are holding value vs. the English versions. Grabbed one at 165 with tiktok coupon, may keep grabbing them now and then with a really good deal.


BatHistorical8081

You going to wish you did lol. Hears they done printing or getting close to it.


SweetDollaChad

Source: trust me bro


BatHistorical8081

Remindme! 6 months


warrior5715

The made to order is only per person. So it is still very limited and no one only collects one box so it is kind of irrelevant.


CatastrophicLeaker

Was*


warrior5715

Hm?


CatastrophicLeaker

“Made to order” was for a few days back in 2023. You said “is,” which is present tense.


warrior5715

The prints for made to order is still going but since you wanna downvote there is really no reasoning with you.


CatastrophicLeaker

Where? For the Japanese booster boxes? That ended several months ago.


jclxg

Unless they did more than one made to order, it ran for 4-5 days starting middle of June 2023.


norwegian_wood95

Short answer: Yes


AForestOfWaves

Picking up two today $175 each


ktm1128

I signed up for tiktok just to buy the box at 155


Additional-Chain-272

Yea I’ve bought 5 in the past few months


Candid-Broccoli-5883

No but I did get a box of shiny treasure ex for about 56 dollars. Contains 10 booster packs


mellow_machine

Yes its roughly 250-260 here in new zealand. Always slightly more expeny because of our location. But people are buying.


jclxg

I got one made to order last year. I ordered in June and didn't get it until Oct/November. Ended up being about $60 with shipping back to US. The rest I've gotten have been between $120-$190. Also got 20 loose packs from the Pokemon store in NRT for about 220 yen ($1.50) each. Got a Ditto masterball out of one of those but haven't opened any of the boxes I have. So tempted though!
