Pokemon 30th Ultra-Premium Collection: Walmart Preorders Open

Mashable reported this week that Walmart.com has preorders up for both versions of the Pokemon TCG 30th Celebration Ultra-Premium Collection. The Pokemon Company lists the two boxes, Day and Night, on its own site for a November 6, 2026 release. This is the biggest box in the 30th anniversary lineup, so plenty of collectors and resellers are watching it.

What Is the 30th Celebration Ultra-Premium Collection?

The Pokemon Company's official product page describes two Ultra-Premium Collections built for the game's 30th birthday. The Day box is built around Espeon ex and the Night box around Umbreon ex. Each one also comes with a Pikachu ex promo drawn by the artist YOSHIROTTEN, plus accessories that match its theme.

Here is what Pokemon lists in each box:

• 1 foil Pikachu ex promo card
• 1 foil Espeon ex (Day) or Umbreon ex (Night) promo card
• 1 playmat
• 65 card sleeves
• 1 deck box
• 1 metal coin with Espeon or Umbreon
• 6 damage-counter dice
• 29 Pokemon TCG: 30th Celebration booster packs
• 1 Classic Collection booster pack
• 1 code card for Pokemon TCG Live

The pack count is the main reason this box gets attention. Twenty-nine 30th Celebration packs plus a Classic Collection pack is a lot of product in one box. Pokemon's page says the Day and Night boxes have the same contents. Only the Espeon or Umbreon theme on the promo, playmat, coin and other accessories changes. If you have been following the other premium boxes this season, the Mega Rayquaza ex Premium Tournament Collection is a different kind of product, built around accessories for players more than packs.

When It Drops, Where to Buy It and the Price

Pokemon lists the release date as November 6, 2026. It says the boxes will be sold at Pokemon Center and at stores that carry Pokemon TCG products. Release dates can move, so check again in the days before.

Pokemon's page does not show a price. When ICv2 first reported the two collections in July, it gave a retail price of $179.99 per box (a correction fixed an earlier figure that was the price of a four-box case). GameRant's October 26 report also put it at about $180 each, or $360 for both. Treat $179.99 as the reported retail price, not a promise. Stores set their own prices.

The Walmart preorders are what made the news. When Mashable's article was written, it listed the Day box at $487.77 and the Night box at $499 on Walmart.com. Mashable called those prices close to market price, not retail. It also said Amazon listings for the boxes showed up weeks earlier and then disappeared.

What that means for you as a buyer:

• Check who is selling it. Walmart.com carries listings from Walmart and from outside sellers, and prices can be very different. The sold and shipped by line on the product page tells you who you are buying from.
• Compare to the $179.99 reported retail price. A preorder near $500 is a market price listing, not the retail drop.
• Expect limits. Big box stores and Pokemon Center often set purchase limits on popular Pokemon products. Follow them, and be kind to staff and other shoppers on release day.

Early Resale Signs

What named outlets have reported so far is about preorder and market prices, not finished sales:

• Mashable compared Walmart's preorder prices to TCGplayer's market price at the time, which it gave as $479 for the Day box and $491 for the Night box.
• GameRant reported on October 26 that both boxes were already listed for more than $400 on third-party sites before release. It expected them to be scalped because the promos and accessories are not sold anywhere else.

As of November 4, 2026, no named outlet has reported a sellout of the Ultra-Premium Collection at a US store. These numbers are preorder asking prices and market snapshots, and they moved between versions of the same article. Prices often shift once a product is actually on shelves, so check eBay sold listings after November 6 before you decide anything.

Bottom Line

The Pokemon TCG 30th Celebration Ultra-Premium Collection comes in Day and Night versions on November 6, 2026, with a reported retail price of $179.99 per box. The Walmart preorders Mashable found were priced near market value, so compare the seller and the price to retail before you click buy. Next on the calendar is the Pokemon TCG Valentine's Box in January.
