I will say AmiAmi is a great site to deal with but the downsize is they are most hobby things like toys,figures,bishoju and all that.also when you find something and it says released then you click on their link sometimes it will be sold out and takes awhile for them to even get stuff back sometimes not at all.japanese pokemon packs at amiami are good prices but once they are gone they dont restock.
Yes, I noticed that. Both of the sites seem to have very little stock of the cards... Figures on the other hand. Man, I didn't even know they made some of those toys! The inner kid is gleeful.

Ok, well, things didn't go as well with PokeOrder as I'd hoped.
Here's the chain:
Hi Steve,
I received the order. Unfortunately, it's once again packs of BW5 and not
packs of the Dragon Selection series. I am OK with keeping the BW5 as I can
start collecting that set too, but the pricing on your site reflected the
Dragon Selection packs (which typically run $3.00 more expensive). How shall
we remedy?
I looked at this order myself and double checked on the site,you must
be getting confused with something else

:nonono: Oh yay, this is going to be fun. I keep it civil even though he was pretty unprofessional in his response
I honestly don't believe i am. I took video and pictures of me opening the box. The order is for dragon selections but the packs are actually dragon blast or the other dragon pack from bw5. I can send you my video and video from YouTube of what actually dragon selection packs and cards look like if you'd like.
They're Japanese cards with a similar name, so I can understand how there can be a mixup... I'm just trying to set it straight.
After no answer, I sent another email:
Hi Steve,
Here is a video showing a guy opening some dragon selections packs:

You can see the artwork on the packs, that the cards are all holo and that they have a sort of "DS" logo on the bottom right of every card. Here is a screen cap from the video: http://easycaptures.com/fs/uploaded/673/8406428910.jpg
My video is pretty huge, so I'm working on getting it uploaded to Youtube, but here are some pictures I took at the same time. You can see the packs should look like this: http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Japanese-Pokemon-DRAGON-SELECTION-5-Unopened-Booster-Packs-25-Holofoil-Cards-/00/s/MTUwMlgxNjAw/$%28KGrHqV,!qEE8WZ9U-wIBPIi5pHlJw~~60_35.JPG -- but they don't. Even your site shows the correct artwork: http://www.pokeorder.com/dragonpack.html
From what I can find what I actually got was this: http://www.collectorscache.com/stor...oductID=55462&CategoryID=849&tabid=&tabindex= -- which is dragon blast, a BW5 set that came out after Dragon Selection (which came out in January I believe).
Anywho, to the pics. I got 6 each of Cold Flare and Freeze Bolt, and you can see the 2 Dragon Blast packs in there. As I said, we're going to start collecting this set as well, so it's not a huge issue, but the problem is that Dragon Selection costs more than normal boosters, and in both orders, I paid the price for the dragon Selection pack.
I enclosed pictures of the packs received as well as the packing slip. I had one pack opened to show they aren't dragon selection.
The response:
We dont make these cards please dont order them no more as no one else has ever said 1 thing wrong about these,
Super professional. Perhaps PayPal will assist in a partial refund.
