The EX Power Keepers set is released in English, German, and French, with cards also available as Reverse Holofoils. The World Champions Pack is only released in Japanese, in both 1st and unlimited edition.
The unlimited World Champions Pack is one of the rarest Japanese booster packs. It was created as a reprint and was only available for sale during Spring Battle Road 2008. Information about the release of the unlimited World Champions Pack is extremely hard to find. An archived page of the official Pokémon TCG website mentions the end of a limited sale on May 16, 2008https://web.archive.org/web/20080516051301/http://www.pokemon-card.com/products/wcp/campaign/ which would coincide with Spring Battle Road 2008. Some Japanese websites mention a sale of World Champions Packs during Spring Battle Road 2008https://pokeboon.com/jp/promo_event/battle-road-spring-2008/https://game14.5ch.net/test/read.cgi/tcg/1206333550/652. It is believed that the unlimited World Champions Packs were only available for sale for the competitors. Unfortunately Battle Road Spring 2008 was cancelled due to bomb threats so three out of the five event venues were cancelled https://web.archive.org/web/20080413053315/https://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/attention/at20080409_01.html. This explains the rarity of the unlimited World Champions Pack, making it one of the rarest Japanese sets. It is only overshadowed by the unlimited edition Japanese cards of the set, of which some cards were given through lotteries. Unlimited World Champions Pack cards are thus extremely rare which make some of them, like the Gold Stars; very expensive.
