China continues to get all this cool shit we can’t have. TPCi needs release these internationally or at least in Japan where it’s actually accessible. They’re too cool to be region-locked in China. I need the shiny cardboard

China not willing to play nice in the sandbox with the rest of the world is the entire reason these are region-locked in China.

And there's where the confusion is. TPC and TPCI are not the same company!

I think there is a difference to artificial scarcity and this. It’s essentially a price card you need to earn, something that is normal in the Pokemon TCG since day 1. Don’t get why you are that upset about this.

It does not appear to be that case. A lottery with "earned" entry is not a Tournament Prize nor a Participation reward.

On top of that, if you have any experience with chinese goods distributed via lottery, then you would know that it is absolutely dog shit. Extremely high volume of participants + abysmal stock = you aint getting shit. You can add a few zeros to the 1510 copies and it will still be a rare card amongst chinese players.
