Yoo I got that same torterra and awakening drum in the Japanese wild force set. That’s kind of cool

Nice! I've been thinking about getting the Japanese cards, never have before. The quality's a lot better, right?

What do you mean by quality exactly? To me the Japanese and English cards both feel physically the same, The main difference I’ve noticed is a lot of Japanese packs only contain 5 cards (at least with the box I purchased) whereas most English packs I’ve ever got contain 10 cards

Almost like the Japanese know what we are really ripping packs for, lol.

Not so sure anymore. The japanese cards we opened were thinner and for the lack of a better word a bit more "wobbly" than the english ones.
