Pokémon TCG market wrap: this week in sealed

• Next release: Delta Reign, in 14 days (6 November 2026).
• Just out: no set came out in the last 30 days. The newest is 30th Celebration, released 16 September 2026.
• Under the median today: led by 30th Celebration Elite Trainer Box, 20% under the median of 3 stores. The list below shows the 5 furthest under.
• Newly tracked: nothing in the last 14 days.

The sections below take each in turn, with the products and prices behind them.

A set that isn’t out yet can still be bought: stores take pre-orders before the release date. Here’s each set due in the next 45 days, how many of its products New Zealand stores have open for pre-order today, and the cheapest booster box, Elite Trainer Box and booster bundle among them.

Release dates are the English-language dates from The Pokémon Company, and stores may ship a few days either side. Before you pre-order, read how to pre-order Pokémon TCG sets: it lists what to check before you pay.

For each set out in the last 30 days, here’s how many of its products are in stock in New Zealand today, and the cheapest booster box, Elite Trainer Box and booster bundle of it, with the price per pack of each. The cheapest per pack in each set is marked.

A product makes this list when its cheapest in-stock price is at least 10% under the median price of the 3 or more New Zealand stores that have it in stock today. It’s the same bar as the “below the median” badge on every product card.

A price well under the median means one store is asking less than most for the same product today. It says nothing about where the price goes next. Before you buy, check the store’s delivery cost, which can close the gap, and check the shrink-wrap when it arrives: how to avoid resealed product says what to look for.

These are products DexCompare first saw in the last 14 days that a store has open today. That isn’t the same as a new release: a store may simply have listed an older product we hadn’t seen before. A pre-order is marked as one.

Compare per pack, within a set. A booster box, an Elite Trainer Box and a booster bundle hold different numbers of packs, so their prices only line up once you divide. The tables above do it. An ETB’s per-pack price includes its sleeves, dice and promo: booster box vs ETB, set by set works out what those extras cost.

Count the stores. One store with a low price and nobody else in stock is a different situation from ten stores close together. Each product’s page shows every New Zealand store’s price side by side.

Check a price you’ve been quoted. If a friend, a local shop or a marketplace seller offers you a box, the value checker shows the cheapest in-stock store price, the median and the price per pack today. Swapping sealed product instead? The trade calculator adds up both sides.

Add shipping. Every price here is the store’s listed price, excluding delivery, so two stores a little apart on price can swap places once postage is in.

This page rebuilds itself from the day’s data, so the sets, products and prices on it are always today’s, and the week at the top is always this week. For the full lists behind it, see the weekly digest, the deals page and the release calendar. The newest sets out, each with every product and price:

DexCompare puts New Zealand stores side by side: each one’s own listed price in NZD, excluding shipping, ranked by price and stock. Stores pay nothing to be listed, and commissions never change the order.
