🃏 HOW TO GET EXCLUSIVE PROMOS AT EVENTS
At Watch Parties and Store Treasure Cups, promos are distributed via Bandai TCG+ app QR codes. Have the app open and logged in BEFORE you arrive. Some events also do physical card handouts — arrive at opening time, supplies are limited. Follow @ONEPIECE_tcg_en for RSVP links which often drop 24–48hrs before events.
🏪 FRANK & SON INTEL (City of Industry)
Open Wed & Sat only. Get there within the first hour — rare One Piece singles sell fast. Dealers know their prices so use TCGfish to check values first. Best stalls for One Piece are typically near the back-right. Cash preferred by most vendors, bring both.
🌊 WORLD FINAL WATCH PARTY STRATEGY
The Little Tokyo event on March 14–15 at 1AM PST will have promo card giveaways. These are rare. Get there early, have Bandai TCG+ ready. The World Final itself is streamed live on the Official One Piece Card Game YouTube — if you can't attend, watch to spot new card reveals that will spike in price immediately after.
📱 NOTIFICATION SETUP FOR THE TRIP
Enable push notifications for: Bandai TCG+ app (mandatory), @ONEPIECE_tcg_en on X (turn on bell), @onepiecenetflix on X (LA pop-up alerts). Check r/OnePieceTCG daily for surprise event announcements — Bandai has a history of posting guerrilla pop-ups with 12–24hr notice.
💡 BUDGET YOUR PULLS WISELY
Before buying sealed product, check if the cards you want are cheaper as singles on TCGPlayer. At events, focus sealed budget on tournament promo participation which you can't get elsewhere. Alt-arts from Store Treasure Cups often list for $40–$100+ — winning one saves money vs buying later.
