Collecting The Foreign Booster Box "Pull Rates" Thread

I know I like their pull rates I spun out a little when I seen the box it so tiny compared to the English boxes lol

Haha yeah, it's really compact and weighs way less. Japanese boxes are more visually appealing to me too.
 
Its ridiculous America wastes so much on packaging. The white/black kyurem BOXES???? They could easily be a thin carboard or plastic (recyclable) box w figure and 4 packs + promo alll together. They waste so much space just spreading it out as much as possible and advertising....wasteful.
 
Getting the most recent (BW9) will probably be the cheapest and easiest to find, so if cost is a major factor (or 1st edition availability), I'd say go for that. Otherwise, if you're looking at other BW sets, I'd take a look at the card lists and figure out which one has the Pokémon and cards you like most! From a collector's perspective, I'd suggest you go for a double set over a single set. Buying a single box of each set in a double sets gets you a good way through completing the set and guarantees no duplicates of holo/EX cards. Whereas, buying 2 boxes of one of the larger single sets typically means you get some duplicates and the set is harder to complete, and only buying 1 box is a much smaller chance of getting the cards you want. However, older sets will be harder to find and more expensive as well.
 
Just opened 6 of the new premium card packs (black/white kyurem, and N) with the following results:

1x EX (registeel)
1x SR (N FA)
1x ACE SPEC
19x holos

This was from 48 packs of cards... I'm very happy with the N FA 1ED, but the rest is bleh. Much worse pull rate than a box for me.

Also, I've opened approximately 100 packs of BW4 1ED at this point and have not gotten a single SR/UR pull. What the heck is with BW4?
 
Is that the box with 8 packs and the Flash Freeze/Cold Fire Kyurem shards holo?

I bought the Reshiram and Zekrom EX boxes. I also got a 1st Ed N but nothing good from BW4.

I saw a box go for 30$ from Brianjapan... They are only 18$ ish in Japan... He also charges 10$ shipping so you're paying 40$ for a 16-20$ box... Not worth it.

Were all the packs first edition? I was considering getting some of those, but all of my Japanese BW cards are first edition and I wasn't sure about the older packs.
