Do you need a special credit card to purchase from this site? Or will the currency calculate to the proper amount of dollar to yen?
It will convert, they will send you an invoice so you can pay after you place the order. Its a bit weird but it always works. 
If I am correct, they accept the average credit card. Last time, my Capital One card got frozen by Capital One thinking it was a fraud related charge so make sure this doesn’t happen so your order is not delayed.

I mean I love Mew and Mewtwo just as much as the next guy, but geeze, they need to chill! We already got a ton of Mew and Mewtwo cards and promos from the 20th anniversary and sets like BREAKthrough and Evolutions. This isn’t exact math but counting all the different variations, megas, and promos, I think we’ve had about 15 Mewtwo cards in the X and Y era. Mew is much less guilty, but we’ve still seen a lot of it.

It is cheaper to pay with PayPal hooked to a bank account, because credit cards charge international fees.

Same here I skipped out on the other two sun and moon sets there are some cards I like but this one looks like a winner, when was the last time a shining mew was printed?
It would be the mew gold star card from dragon frontiers which is the only card other than the Japanese coro coro promo that contains a shining mew.

Any updates on this set?
Do sets like these have smaller print runs?
Nothing as yet mate. Release is not until July so expect trickles of info from mid June, likely after SM3 has been released.

They need to add limited edition cards to the boxes and cut down on the insane releases! Limited being like some signed, maybe a limit of 100 in a set etc(just an example)…like merlin do with match attax etc.I know there will be loads of people to attack me on it ha! but its just an opinion/idea 
it would certainly make cards actually hyper rare not like 1 in 6 boxes and so on. so rather than the silly HR SR UR lets have a MSUR(mega super ultra rare…jk btw or am I?)
What do you guys think? Then there are real rare cards, real chase cards again. In theory it seem like a good idea and cool…doesnt even have to be in all sets but would be nice.
Even a first edition print run as a limited release and only a certain way/time frame to get them whether going to the release or something. Then have the unlimited run of how ever many they want to print with the special cards in there?
So many ideas and ways ha…whether they are feasible or a good idea is another thing
1 set every 3 months is overkill imo…even bigger sets, longer time between releases, actual chase cards to go for and maybe a sub set and promos etc inbetween. I may be going off a bit too far but meh! This is a spontaneous post
Ramble over! *lowers riot shield…removes helmet and kevlar…*
Ok…your turn
A SHINY mew? Fuck. Should have checked this thread earlier.
I just want things like Dark Raichu, Shining cards and so on to be brought back in and to reduce the saturation of all the other ‘rare’ cards in the sets. I can’t find any appeal in new sets when there’s nothing as difficult to acquire as those. I don’t enjoy buying new packs but older generation packs from PCG, WOTC and so forth have more of an appeal due to the elusiveness of some of the cards. This is all subjective of course but as people are saying, there’s nothing to chase as you buy a box or two and you have almost everything
The thing is though, the chase cards from these sets are just as rare as those old cards. Hell, even rarer. Gold bordered secrets from the new sets are found in 1/3 boxes. That’s the exact same rate as gold stars. Not to mention how much rarer that is than Neo Shinings, there were 2-5 per box in Neo Destiny. Even Dark Raichu was 1/1.5 boxes. Rarity isn’t the issue really, it’s just the sheer amount of packs being opened makes everything seem more common.

The problem with this rarity complex that we as collectors have is you can’t compare what is happening now to what happened in the past.
The reason old cards have value is because of the third word in this sentence; they’re old.
New cards can’t attract that same premium, except exceptional circumstances.

I understand old, minty fresh, nostalgic and rare are the reason the older cards draw such a premium.
It would be nice to have some actual limited release cards and less sets etc churned out. Alot of people cant afford the old cards, so it would be nice to have some chase cards in newer sets to make it more exciting and less of a chore.Just my opinion personally Ive given up trying to collect full sets of the new stuff…which was m goal when i got back into it around Flashfire. I am in the process of refining my collection and it is going more and more into older cards, limited release cards etc.It would be great to have some english newer stuff that is actually worth going for and collecting. I do still buy newer stuff but there is nothing to compare with that feeling of pulling an amazing, rare, limited card. These limited edition/release/signed cards would be so amazing to have 
this is purely my opinion and what i would like but yea ha.
Less sets, more unique and limited cards as at the moment we are overwhelmed with sets, sub sets,sub sub sets, promos, alternate arts, alternate to the alternate arts and so on ^.^ The older cards are becoming increasingly more expensive and rarer.The current sets are so available in mass quantities, I think it would be great to have a cheeky unique twist with them.Of course have the usual release of the set but pop in some genuine rare cards and chase. Just as a nice added bonus for us rather than 1 hyper per this 4 gx per box and so on. Also mix the bloody code cards around as it ruins openingss!!!
Rant over ^.^ for now
Holo patterns look to be very similar to Neo-era shinings. I love these cards already.

I really hope these are in the burning shadows set or make it into the fourth sun and moon set, i could do without the text in the art box of the ho-oh
That’s awesome
