Pull rates are better in Japanese packs, so if it's art you want and not playability, you may be better off going Japanese. From a collector's standpoint, their cards are also a much higher quality. If you order from Japan (like through AmiAmi) instead of waiting until American websites and US Ebay start selling them, you'll also get a better deal.

I would only do that if you plan on collecting Japanese cards.

What are you looking for? A set with playable cards? A set with good resale value? A set with expensive Ultra Rares? What?

Most Japanese stores are sold out. You would have to buy off eBay.

Don't know about you guys, but i noticed lately , that my local target has brought in BOOSTER BOXES, yes, not the cardboard boosters, but booster boxes. So i was thinking, would it be better to get those or the cardboard singles?

I'm thinking of buying a Reshiram EX tin, because I need a Reshiram EX for my Reshiram/Emboar/Mewtwo EX deck. Is it worth it?:

I wouldn't, because Reshiboar is dead. I would consider the Darkrai tins, as they are playable.

Well, the Reshiboar deck is only deck I can afford to build right now, until I can get a job. Besides, I only have $31 to spend, that's not enough to build a Darkrai deck.

Hmmm, honestly, I would save your money until you can buy a Darkrai deck. You really won't win with Reshiboar. Darkrai and Mewtwo are out in tins, so you could go for a Darkrai/Mewtwo deck.

I'm wanting to buy a Korean booster box, mainly because they're really cheap, but I was just wondering which you think is best to buy? I'd like one with a good amount of cards so I don't end up getting too many duplicates, and with a good amount of EXs, holos, etc. (Also a good pull ratio though I believe they're all the same?) Thanks!

The pull rates are the poorer than Japanese. You will come up 4 - 5 Holo rares short. I have only pulled 1 SuperRare Holo. Set size is the same as Japanese. The quality is about the same as English.

I do have extras for trade. I currently have
Series 1
BW1 Black & White
BW2 Red Collection
BW3 Psycho Drive · Hail Blizzard
BW4 Dark Rush
Dragon Selection - Sealed boosters or a set of 1-20

They don't sound too bad then, especially for the money they cost too. I don't mind not completing the set, I just wanted to buy a box that I'm most likely to get more different cards in (if any), and then I will probably trade for the rest. I'm thinking either Psycho Drive/Hail Blizzard, Dark Rush or Dragon Blast/Dragon Blade. Thanks. :)

If price is an issue, 1 box for BW4 Dark Rush is cheaper than 2 boxes for BW3 Psycho Drive · Hail Blizzard or BW5 Dragon Blast - Dragon Blade.

It's not really price I'm bothered about, more the pulls I can get from 1 box. I know Dark Rush is a pretty small set so wouldn't I be more likely to get more duplicates from that one?
