TCG & Pokemon Wholesale Distributor for Asia (English Product)
Wholesale supply of sealed TCG product for card shops, game stores and online sellers across Asia, dispatched from Japan, with open applications and trade support over WhatsApp.
Quick Answer
Why Asia retailers source from Packrat
- A direct line into English-language allocation. English sealed product is allocated to UK, EU and North American distribution first, which makes it awkward and expensive to source at trade terms from inside Asia. We buy inside that allocation and supply it onward, so you're not paying a retail-arbitrage premium to a reseller.
- One supplier across every major game. Pokemon, One Piece, Magic: The Gathering, Disney Lorcana, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Dragon Ball, Gundam and Star Wars: Unlimited from a single trade relationship, one conversation, one invoice, one consolidated shipment.
- Trade support that actually answers. Asia partners are onboarded into a wholesale WhatsApp group run by our own team, not a ticket queue. Stock lists, pricing and shipping quotes happen in chat, in plain English, usually the same day.
- An established trade operation, not a side hustle. We already run wholesale programmes for UK and EU retailers, with VAT-registered invoicing, export documentation and a public Trustpilot record. Asia partners get that same infrastructure from day one.
What we supply at trade
The core of the offer is English-language sealed product: booster boxes, cases, Elite Trainer Boxes, bundles and starter product across Pokemon, One Piece, Magic: The Gathering, Disney Lorcana, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Dragon Ball, Gundam and Star Wars: Unlimited. English print runs are allocated to UK and EU distribution, which is exactly where we buy, so partners in Asia get a direct line into stock that is otherwise hard to source at trade terms outside Europe and North America.
Japanese and other-language lines move through our supply network too, subject to availability, so it's always worth asking in the group if you're after something specific.
Current stock lists are shared in the wholesale WhatsApp group rather than published on a public price list, so pricing stays between us and our trade partners.

Notes for the Asia market
Demand for English-language TCG product across Asia has grown far faster than the official distribution footprint. English Pokemon and One Piece sealed routinely trades above western retail in Tokyo, Singapore and Hong Kong card shops, and the collectors driving that demand increasingly want English prints specifically, for grading, for resale liquidity, and because English alt-arts carry a global market.
We supply that demand at trade terms. If your market is covered by one of our country guides, they go deeper on the local picture: Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, South Korea and Southeast Asia.
We currently accept wholesale applications from Japan, South Korea, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia and India. If your market isn't listed, contact us and we'll tell you honestly whether we can serve it.
