Costco Offers New Pokémon 30th Anniversary Bundle

Comment Views: 0

Costco is selling another Pokémon Trading Card Game bundle, a couple of months after offering an Ascended Heroes deal. The new bundle includes products from the 30th Anniversary collection.

What Pokémon cards is Costco selling in November 2026?

Since early November, Costco locations have been receiving shipments of a two-pack bundle. It includes a Pokémon 30th Anniversary Elite Trainer Box (ETB) with nine booster packs, dice, card sleeves and a Nidoran promo card. The bundle also includes a 30th Anniversary Booster Bundle containing six TCG packs.

The manufacturer’s suggested retail price is $49.99 for the ETB alone and around $26.99 for the Booster Bundle. Many stores sell the products at a markup. At Target, the ETB alone costs $69.99. Market prices on sites such as Facebook and TCGPlayer are nearly double the suggested retail prices.

Costco sells the ETB and Booster Bundle together for $57.49.

Do you need a Costco membership?

Yes. Costco employees won’t let shoppers into a store without a membership.

How much stock will Costco have?

Costco does not share internal stock numbers, but estimates from third-party distributors suggest shipments are large. The writer’s nearest store was expected to receive between 720 and 1,200 units, while other nearby stores were estimated to have just under 5,000 units. The estimates include regional shipment breakdowns.

When will Costco stores start selling the bundles?

Timing varies by location. Shipments are not arriving all at once, and stores decide when to put pallets on the sales floor. Some shipments have only been ordered, while others are in transit. A handful of Texas locations have already sold their initial inventory, and some stores dropped out of the offer in recent days. Stores receiving shipments are expected to put the boxes out soon.

To track availability, collectors can join a Discord server such as PokeBratz or search Facebook for local groups that post regional updates. News of a drop can spread after sales begin, and stock often disappears within 30 minutes of a Facebook group post.

Will Costco sell the ETB and Booster Bundle online?

Costco has made no official announcement, but website backend changes tracked by restock Discord servers suggest an online release may be coming. Based on previous sales, the online price is likely to be higher than the in-store price.

Buying in person may offer a better chance, even though stock can sell out quickly in stores. In the past, Costco’s online Pokémon inventory has sold out immediately because of bots, or sales have been canceled after heavy traffic.

Will Costco sell the Ultra Premium Collection?

Pokémon restock Discord servers report that Costco will sell a two-pack of the 30th Anniversary Ultra Premium Collection. The reported bundle contains one Day-themed box and one Night-themed box and is said to cost $288.

By comparison, Target sells a single Ultra Premium Collection box for $249.99, and resale prices for each variant are well over $300.
