Def appreciated the mixup by ordering from a Japan seller. The Japanese sets are so much more concise and has great set identity. The Pikachu promo was absolutely my favorite of the bunch!

[@Ian_Stone]

I like how they added the snacks from Japan. It makes it feel more caring.

[@rosyhvideo2587]

Yea, that’s so cool

[@DespinaHaralambidis]

That’s a good one to

[@CragusMaximus]

@@TX_245 probably like 2024 😂 they also have a lot of sugary crap sweets

[@bradleymarchand560]

more caring so you keep getting scammed from the mystery...

[@KaijuOddishFilms]

They added snacks from Japan because the box is from Japan:|

[@Micha122888]

I love the Japanese cards and how they give promos for everything. Wish they had more rare promos here in the States.

[@pokemonunboxed4770]

⚠️ You’re guaranteed at least 1 Secret Rare and 3 character Rares in a Vmax climax booster box. So its likely that you end up getting the leftover packs in these mystery boxes, after they’ve pulled the guaranteed hits. These guaranteed hits are usually worth more than the Vmax/Vs in the set as well. Also, I believe Japanese packs are weighable since they don’t use code cards to offset weight variations between packs, so do exercise caution when purchasing anything with loose Japanese packs!

[@moomaof2679]

My fave from the box was the “free hair”. Hah! Made my son and I laugh, he loves watching you open up, and counts down every Tuesday with an alarm on his phone

[@2UGamingProductions]

We started making Pokemon videos if anyone wants to check them out. We would appreciate it!

[@Rampot1234]

Ok

[@Rampot1234]

Not to bad but it’s ok

[@Rampot1234]

@@2UGamingProductions It’s ok videos

[@luqueta2910]

U2gaming what is your KZbin channel

[@plaqzzz0]

We just not gonna talk about that cut at the end. Either way, you still did great on this video. Keep it up Rev!

[@jarrodedwards5518]

Those vintage cards are awesome! This is an amazing mystery box opening bro! Can't go wrong with the snacks either.

[@jakekebble]

The Gengar and Snrolax holos have to be my fave. Those are my two favourite Pokemon and it was incredible when you flipped it over and realised there was another holo on the other side. Love the content, keep it coming Rev!!!

[@danielweatherley741]

That mystery box was actually really cool! Also good value and variety. Probably the item I liked most was the Pikachu Kanazawa promo card, never seen it in person but the art looks really nice.

[@aidenjoeyrubba9142]

The snacks gotta be my favorite part of the box lol. It’s always cool getting to try snacks from other places

[@b1gpapan3cr04]

Favorite thing in the box was the bundle of sleeved/graded cards just because of your reaction xD reminded me of a kid thinking Christmas is over n bring led to the garage to find a new bike 🚲 😀

[@ChengYMoua]

That holo Gengar and Snorlax back to back was the best! Everything looked fun to take out of the box though! Snacks included haha!

[@monagrife9338]

I love how they added graded cards I love when they do that. Great opening😸

[@ivy_leaf3011]

I really loved the selection of random packs you pulled. Vmax climax and eevee heroes are such good sets and I ordered some today! Super excited to open them!

[@natetrnavsky6756]

My fav thing was the free hair😂 I am a huge Pokémon collector so it is very nice and thoughtful for to do this

[@joelandrew84]

The way your video ended so abruptly made me lol 😂 I liked it :) also the pokeball gummies.

[@djguzman3386]

I honestly thought it was really cool that it comes with all the snacks. It’s not something you see a lot, and they actually look pretty good

[@Cottontailtie]

The eevee heroes pack was cool to see. I’m obsessed with the eeveelutions so always love to see that. My favorite pull would have to be the sylveon Vmax. Ik it’s not a crazy card but man gotta love those eeveelution artworks

[@pokemilo5659]

Hii

[@pokemilo5659]

Yes

[@cristianaisabella65]

Wow!! Great turn out on this box, I was so worried when I clicked on the video hahaha I loved all the little treats, I think that’s such a fun little thing to add on to these kind of out of country mystery boxes. Makes it more special! Great pulls! Good luck to that lucky Instagram follower!! ❤️

[@fatmanjonestv7143]

Star birth is great to open but my favorite is vmax climax - the chrs and csrs in there are so cool. Japan has the best artists man! Great box

[@GOBLUE4LIFE2023NationalChamps]

Awesome box! Love the snacks! Can never go wrong with foreign candy!!

[@sinkker]

The graded cards made me more interested in getting one of these, but the booster boxes were also great

[@BarSoapManCanada]

That free hair comment actually made me laugh lol

[@jonelliottusmc0341]

Real talk bro that Gengar at 8:50 is legit along with the Snorlax too but hands down no questions asked my favorite item by far is the Entei at 10:08. I would be extremely pleased if I were you 💁🏼‍♀️ cool video man I'm jealous

[@polirican3622]

I find all the different treats interesting. Wouldn’t mind trying some of them myself.. and the psa houndour was a nice surprise!

[@bryancastaneda921]

Loved the booster boxes! Great chance to get some good pulls 🔥

[@09moose_YT]

yeah

[@andypethtel1]

Finally a mystery box with solid hits throughout! I love the Japanese candy, good memories from when I was stationed over there in the Marine Corps. Favorite hits has to be all the sylveons, I really enjoy the eeveelotions

[@scottnelson1179]

The Gengar pull was my favorite. I’m always in love with any Gengar I can pull. Congratulations on that beauty

[@palmpam2579]

No disrespect to PokeJapan, but that was not a $500 worth mystery box. I'm an avid collector of Japanese Pokemon Cards and I know my fellow JP collectors can agree with me on this one. My personal opinion, if I buy something worth $500 I want cards/merch worth $500 not snacks... If you're reading this PokeRev, I hope you don't buy from them again and it shouldn't have taken a over a month for your order to arrive from Japan. Long time lurker, just giving my thoughts and I hope you get more into Japanese Pokemon Cards. If you're looking to buy some mystery bags, I highly recommend Poke Otaku or any other JPN shops that sells them and not snacks.

[@jonseeliger5938]

Hey! What is you experience with Poke Otaku?

[@VD_the_GodKing]

The whole reason people buy mystery boxes is for the lottery aspect. Most are not gonna be worth face. But, you do have a chance to get some stuff way over the value.

[@b1gd4ddyr3d9]

It's crazy that Evolving Skies is made up of the Japanese sets Eevee heroes, towering perfection and blue sky stream. I think it would be nice to get smaller sets to chase the cards you actually want easier.

[@ahwvixxy1839]

Cool

[@julianstamm9001]

Pretty cool box with a lot of stuff to go through 😊 Apart from the vintage cards my favorite pulls have been the rainbow trainer card and the charizard v star.

[@buzzpeep8695]

My favorite item has to be that Japanese snorlax as snorlax from jungle holds alot of sentimental value for me.

[@bubbacollects990]

This was a good mystery box! was surprised to see those vintage holos💫 I'd be ecstatic to win one of these giveaways🔥

[@xXFIRExL0RDXx]

I love that houndour, the holo just makes it look crazy beautiful, been trying to snag one for a while

[@pengwin2631]

My favorite thing was the gummy poke balls but for a second there I thought they were like gel window clings.Lol

[@koltonhopkins445]

The free hair was the best 😂😂😂

[@SaucyAustie]

First

[@travispeterson9549]

Congrats

[@toadradish7360]

Those vintage cards look great… but so does everything else! It’s hard to choose what is my fave but I’m really hyped for vmax climax! Thx for all the vids

[@The_Based_DJ]

Hahaha "free" hair!! The candy was a nice touch.

[@zachorenstein1814]

as someone who collects JP here in the states, this video was so awesome to watch! thank you for buying this package and posting it. favorite card was definitely the PC pikachu promo! so cool they gave you a wide variety of loose packs to open as well. looked like a blast!

[@ajanco23]

The little bag with the PSA cards and ungraded vintage cards was a pretty dope surprise

[@leahowens2770]

Love the new V-Star cards....I can't wait to open up some for myself. I feel like the artwork for the Charizard V-Star really has Charizard in-action. Very cool card and to me that's the best pack of the day.

[@dustinforsyth9337]

Favorite part of the mystery box was the vintage pack of cards. Brought back the nostalgia especially the Haunter and Gengar

[@nataliefurman900]

The vintage holos- graded and ungraded- are SOOO NICE I want them!! Those were my fave

[@chrisbruno0524]

Adding old school holos and PSA cards made this mystery box pretty solid

[@typhlo]

the gym packs are usually things that come for free in a case, usually 1 per box, and they pass them out at events to play with, they usually are about 8 card sets, usually including a GX, the rest are commons.

[@miguelsosa9084]

The best item of this mystery box that you opened up has to be fore sure the gengar from fossil and the snorlax from jungle! such such beautiful cards for sure!!! Keep up the amazing and great work rev! the videos are so cool always!!!

[@nickchamp]

Gotta say. The more I watch people open Japanese cards the more I wanna collect them. Japanese cards hit different for sure!

[@emmmavin3179]

I like how they added snakes from JAPEN. It makes me fell hungry and generally.

[@rob33]

The pokéball. When I was a kid you could get those everywhere. They were displayed right next to the check out in almost every grocery stores and it was so easy to get one as well. Sadly that is in the past and you can't really get them anymore.

[@pinve]

My favourite items were the Vmax climax packs. I really love that booster box and the characters rare that you can find in the packs!! Awesome artworks!!

[@danielchristianwijaya8695]

For those wondering about the Towering Perfection Booster Box ( Duraludon), the cards in the set are actually what makes up the English Evolving Skies Booster Box together with the cards from the Blue Sky Stream Set (Rayquaza) and Eevee Heroes. The japanese versions likes to split it into smaller sets for some reason 😂

[@thomaswilliams2781]

That free hair was the best. Machamp, Haunter and Gengar all sick aa well. Love the old school Japanese cards.

[@jessiesean6442]

This box was pretty nice! I found it funny how they put a bunch of random snacks in there. That Pikachu promo card was really cool, I’ve never seen it before.

[@chatterbox9811]

Dark Gyarados was really cool to see in a psa slab after seeing it so many times in Celebrations

[@zachlilly9062]

My favorite moment of the video was the gengar and snorlax reminded me of pulling them when I was younger.

[@PokeChaseTCG]

My favorite items were the snacks and the vintage cards they threw in. That pikachu promo was so cool! Love how they do Pokémon TCG in Japan, might have to get one of these boxes!

[@lowkeyconvert8971]

it's pretty well known that japanese take really good care of their items so when you buy something second-hand in japan, it's likely to be in mint condition.

[@OmomerTheCat]

I love Japanese cards so it's hard to choose but I think the coolest thing you got is the Pikachu promo, I love cute random exclusive like this one.

[@maureenburkey3086]

I liked how they added the snacks because its very caring

[@Frosty2014]

The graded vintage cards were probably my favorite, but the Kanazawa Pikachu is such a cool card too!

[@ScaramoochFandango]

Gotta luv all the candy sent with the cards Japan is so beautiful in sending you treats.

[@FlyGuyTy22]

My fave was those vintage cards and graded cards (gengar, gio machamp, snorlax, haunter, etc.)

[@totalchaos9934]

Fav item in the box was probably the vintage cards! Entei and Snorlax just looks so good….

[@nigopps88]

My favorite thing was definitely the hunter and gengar, they are my childhood favorite

[@andrewwuertzer9380]

Brilliant Stars Booster Box had me most excited. Glad you got a few good hits out of it!

[@kenkenobihagemier6911]

Wow definitely gettin your monies worth on that mystery box from Japan PokeRev! Let’s go about time sheesh! Those mystery vintage single pack w/ the graded cards were definitely the surprise hit of the box, love all the candy too! Lol

[@christopherleevideo]

Favorite thing you pulled was oddly enough the single card pack with the gummy candy, reminds me of when I bought a few of those from a 7-11 when I went to Japan in 2019

[@professorhana6555]

Old school holos sell for 10$ here in Japan. I pretty much rebuilt my collection in Japanese. I bought the base set flareon for 5$ yesterday. I feel like a bandit most days. I love all this stuff. Have a closet full of it. Don’t pick me as a winner, I can get all this stuff whenever I want XD

[@bingbongszn4372]

Crazy that a Random Gengar was just sitting in that box but loved the brilliant stars booster pack. Lots of great pulls but nothing beats the artwork for that charizard vstar

[@MrTimesthe1]

My favorite part was the whole thing! Me and my kids love watching you open most of the things we can’t get!

[@phymadcg8100]

The fact that they gave you whole booster boxes is epiccc. Charizard Vstar def the biggest hit cmon

[@KingClogged1]

That pokemon centre promo pikachu definitely my favourite, the artwork is insane i love it

[@allenb8036]

Honestly that Pikachu Holo promo looked dope. Def my fav

[@belsalkkibelsalkki3838]

Loved those mixed up Japanese modern sets,but old school IS amazing too. Tough choice,perhaps i have to go with mixed modern packs, Japanese packs Are just amazing

[@julietheisler9865]

I love the Japanese packaging on the booster packs-so much cooler than ours!!

[@timriggins9233]

So cool, the vintage cards were definitely the best part. If grading ever goes back to normal I’m going to send in a bunch of my cards even though most of them were beaten up by 10 year old me

[@MrThomassen]

Favourite items of the box were def the vintage ones, the back side of the old cards are 🔥🔥🔥

[@rewindszn5187]

I love ur videos I watch them everyday. Keep on daily posting. Your energy when you open the cards is really great. Today is my b-day and I have to watch your new vid. My favourite card was the Vmax that looks like a tree I can’t read Japanese.

[@stingingjwc]

I like the Turtwig in the great ball. The note pad was adorable as well

[@htka77]

They haven't shipped out a lot of orders in the past few months and stopped responding to people. Now they took the site down due to a "medical and health issue" after selling a ton of paradigm trigger and vstar universe boxes.

[@TCG-Verse]

My favorite has to be the booster boxes because I haven't seen one of those in a mystery box before, and there were two of them as well

[@taiyabbshafi1920]

That box was hectic, highlight for me would be that gengar card, looked so slick

[@ronesork549]

the Gengar pull was my favorite! Gengar is iconic and one of my all time favorite pokemons!

[@koryrobertson3152]

Watching this Japanese mystery box versus the mystery box that TwiceBakedJake got is hilarious

[@linklink6099]

I think my favorite part of the opening was actually the greatball since there used to be a lot of toys like that when I was a kid, so it really was a wave of nostalgia

[@ChrisSolzmann]

I think the coolest thing in this box are the gym packs not because of the card but I've never seen those packs before

[@lorenaryden1244]

I love the vintage cards and the pikachu card. Vmax climax is always a fun set to open up, pull rates are generous. You should definitely open up a booster box.

[@tristinkeller9110]

I love how they added the candy and the graded cards, you definitely feel like your there in Japan when they add the candy and the graded cards were sick!

[@BMSclips2028]

The snacks, such a random thing 😂

[@rbikidportland]

My favorite items were a tie between the booster boxes and the vintage holos!

[@BIG5]

Rev, my favorite card you pulled is the entei promo card believe it or not. I might be the only one to say this but that card is super nostalgic to me. I owned that card as a kid and have not been able to find any of my old cards. I remember getting that promo at the movie theater and it was one of my favorite cards of all time!!

[@elpancho788]

The og trainer series is one of my favorites sets. That Giovanni's Machamp was really cool

[@nmvids22]

Lol I was like wow when I saw those graded cases 😀

[@kevinlovehandle7045]

A vmax climax opening would be dope I think they’re just like shiny star v

[@Tom-ol9kt]

I'd love to try these japanese candys, they look so fancy. My fav item was probably the graded/vintage cards. They took the box to 'another level'. Also I didn't expect that you can get that much value out of that box.

[@afiqjohari9796]

the random booster packs from Japan was nice u got to open bunch different ones such as eeveelutions, 25th anniversary, birth stars and gym heroes!

[@grassishere]

I definitely loved them throwing in those vintage cards and the graded cards, didn’t expect that! However the booster pack that came with the gummies in it was pretty cool and different!!

[@user-bt4id3du1t]

my favorite item is gota be the japanese psa cards + japanese promos i love the artwork on the promos

[@aaronbourne6833]

The snacks are a nice touch, and nice selection of pokemon products.. definitely not the worse mystery box, was a great watch!
