They're never gonna touch the interest rates, are they? 200 yen to a dollar by the end of the year. The yen still has a long ways to drop. Remember, it was trading at 250 to a dollar before they got plaza accorded. Unfortunately for them, a low yen doesn't help after all their manufacturing has been stolen by the US via auto on-shoring or simply done better by China. They are only good for a cheap vacation now, which sucks for them because they hate tourists so much. Rice will be a luxury item for them soon.

See this is why I never got deep into Pokemon Cards, MTG, Yu Gi Oh etc. Too much P2W which is also based a lot on luck. You can buy 10 packs and get nothing. Meanwhile the guy next to you on his first try gets that very rare exclusive card that breaks the entire game when used properly.

Oh and if you don't live in this certain area and didn't attend this certain event at a certain date and time then too bad. You miss out on this event exclusive card which could make your deck almost unbeatable.
