What will it take for a Japanese exclusive promo to be released again?

Only 2,090 yen each but yeah the secondary market will dictate. I am optimistic that because there are no booster packs inside, TPC will have a far easier time releasing multiple waves of these

Yeah can’t wait to pay like 5x msrp for the box on the secondary market… Hopefully I can find them in Japan for at least a reasonable price when I am back there.

I actually think the deck boxes and overall gift box look nicer than the pikachu promo cards.

Ugh 5x msrp…if we are lucky. I feel like it might be like the Rocket Briefcase fiasco all over again. At least this time around it has an actual promo card. But who knows that might drive it up even more…

You are right, it might get even way worse than that. We’ll see.. Hope to get my hands on at least the Fukuoka box, because I really like how this one looks.

Let’s hope the new promos open the floodgates for future releases! To take this a step further - What will it take to release the next Japanese exclusive full art and how many copies will be produced? Stamp Box promos were 100,000 copies in 2021. I would expect a massive increase in print production given the debacles surrounding recent exclusive releases. Could 2026 be the year with the 30th anniversary coming up?
