Stellar Tera Pokémon ex cards may be a new Pokémon ex variant, but some of their mechanics bear a striking resemblance to much older cards.
This is also not the first English-exclusive promotion Southeast Asian retailers have gotten for new Pokémon card packs. During the Regional Championships in Singapore, the Philippines, and Malaysia, thetop four players in each division were given a stamped English Chien-Pao ex card, making them incredibly rare editions.
