They sell out quickly and then periodically release more before the actual release. You just have to keep watching.
OK cool, I pre-ordered a bunch anyways, thanks to the amiami points I will save about a dollar off my order lol
How much should I expect shipping to be in the US? Shipping statement is pretty vague here.
Around 600¥ per box if buying more than 3 from recall.

Hmm should I buy some boxes or wait and just by the secret rares and ultra rares on ebay?
What are you guys going to do?

With japanese sets I get a few boxes in just to open them up because that’s part of the fun! Also the fact they are so cheap means you can open up a few boxes for not really that much money!

Would it be cheaper to just buy the set in singles afterwards? - Yes.
Do you value the pleasure of anticipation? If you enjoy a sense of gambling, not knowing what you are going to get, and getting excited about pulling that rare card then you should buy some boxes.

I dont see the boxes up for pre-order yet only the sleevs and deck boxes? did they take them down or am I blind?
Confirmed, I am blind and cannot read broken english. Thank you Derek
Preordered! Git the shield case and box. Dind’t bother with other boxes as I’ll undoubtedly buy the singles. I’ll do my first unboxing video too!

Depends on shipping. For me SAL(registered) is $8-10 cheaper than EMS. EMS is about $26
From experience:
1 Box Legendary Shine: 1200 JPY EMS, 1200 JPY/box
2 Boxes Phantom Gate: 1680 JPY EMS, 840 JPY/box
4 Boxes Tidal Storm/Gaia Volcano: 2880 JPY EMS, 720 JPY/box
5 Boxes Emerald Break + Ray Battle Deck: 3680 JPY, 613 JPY/thing
7 Boxes Bandit Ring: 3840 JPY EMS, 548 JPY/box
Hopefully that gives you an idea of EMS shipping charges based off of number of boxes ordered. Do not ship registered SAL/unregistered SAL unless you want your cards to slowly descend into the Postal Service’s ISC New York black hole of hell.

Of course region makes this a little different, but rates as follows for me;
2 Boxes = 1860¥ (930¥ each)
4 Boxes = 2720¥ (680¥ each)
5 Boxes = 3040¥ (608¥ each)
Would love for a big buyer to comment on theirs. I have an order of 14 boxes and 4 of the smaller BREAK packs on order for September. Will be interesting to find out how much shipping will be, but I am betting on less than 600¥ per item. I think you can accurately calculate it yourself if you know the weight. Each booster box is roughly 280 grams from memory. I would assume that the BREAK packs would weigh under 140 grams each.
Edit:
Just looked up the price for 5kg (likely the beacket my order will fall into) and it equates to 8200¥ for EMS and 5000¥ for SAL. That gives pricing of roughly 515¥ and 313¥ respectively per box.
I’d rather pay for the security and priority that EMS gives me.
