Trading Card Pro is accepting lottery applications for the Pokemon Card Game MEGA "30th CELEBRATION FUTURISTIC BOX," a 30th anniversary set listed at 27,500 yen. Applications close at 23:59 on October 4, 2026, with winners announced October 10. The set releases September 16 and is sold on Pokemon Center Online. Purchases are limited to one per person at list price plus shipping.
The box is not a standard pack box. It bundles two promo cards, one each of the "Pikachu ex" cards mp-132 "Biri-Biri Fever" and mp-131 "Pika Pika Parade," plus supplies, and it carries the highest list price among the four 30th anniversary products. Because there are no packs to open, resale value turns on whether the box and accessories stay complete. Trading Card Pro's survey of 537 people put the most common buyback forecast at 30,000 to 60,000 yen, chosen by 35.4%. No buyback shop has listed an actual amount yet.
