Summary
- The Glory Of Team Rocket Pokemon TCG set releases in Japan next month.

While the US and most of the rest of the world will be getting the Team Rocket-centric Destined Rivals set, The Glory Of Team Rocket, a set from which Destined Rivals will pull, arrives in Japan ꦯon April 18. That set will include a fancy Team Rocket briefcase filled with booster packs and other accessories, and somehow, those briefcases have already started to show up on resale sites outside of Japan.
Part of a wider selection of Team Rocket accessories, the attache case is black with a red Team Rocket R right in the middle of it. It's what you'll find inside that makes it so sought after. Pokemon will hold a lottery to determine who gets them (thanks, ). 30 The Glory of Team Rocket booster packs inside and, based on that alone, the 14,900 yen ($100) price tag is pretty reasonable.
Pokemon TCG's Glory Of Team Rocket Set Is Going To Break Me
I usually resist the pullಞ of꧟ the Pokemon TCG. Team Rocket might change that.
The briefcases will be snapped up almost immediately, hence the lottery system. However, like some other Japan-exclusive 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Pokemon TCG items, it might never be rele🌼ased in the US. That'll be why scalpers think they'll get almost $2,000 for them on resale sites. However, how exactly those scalpers can guarantee they'll have a briefcase to sell at this stage is a little unclear.

Yet Its Briefcase Is Already Popping Up On eBay For Almost $2,000
It's possible the lottery to determine who gets a Team Rocket attache case has begun, and some customers have already been selected. All I know is that there will be one. That seems unlikely though, and even if the lottery has begun, scalpers outside of Japan being selected seems eve𓂃n less likely than the lottery selections having already been made.
Whether these scalpers really have the briefcases or they're just hoping they'll get one and are trying to sell their hypothetical collectible ahead of time, , the most expensive of which . All of them will need to be shipped from Japan which either means the sellers live in Japan, or arrangements will be made so the briefcases are shipped from Pokemon to whoeve😼r ꦺbuys them.
Unfortunately, this is the state of the Pokemon TCG across the board at the moment. Pre-orders for the Destined Rivals set opened yesterday, and to say it was chaos at the Pokemon Center would be an understatement. Every time you think the Pokemon pre-order process couldn't possibly get any worse, a new set drops and trying to buy anything from it immediately becomes almost impossible. Destined Rivals ꦦETBs are already appearing on resale sites for greatly inflated prices.
