Not sure which set? A set’s page shows every sealed product from it that Australian stores list, with the cheapest of each type. The newest sets are the ones most people are opening right now; an older set can be the one a collector is missing.

Before you order a gift

  1. Check the store’s delivery estimate to your postcode, and order early if it needs to arrive by a date such as Christmas Day, 25 December.
  2. Add delivery to the price: a few dollars of postage can change which store is cheapest.
  3. Pre-orders ship around release day, not when you order: a set that isn’t out yet is a promise, not a parcel.
  4. Check the returns policy, in case the gift is a duplicate.
  5. Check the shrink-wrap when it arrives: how to avoid resealed products.
  6. Buying on Amazon AU? Check who the seller is and the delivery date on Amazon’s page before you order.

Choosing between two? Booster box vs ETB vs bundle explains the three most bought products, and the best ETBs in Australia ranks today’s ETBs by price per pack. The value checker shows the cheapest Australian price of anything you were offered.

Prices are each Australian store’s listed price including GST, excluding delivery, read about twice a day. Pack counts from the publisher’s product listings, as recorded in our data.

Where to buy

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

Buying from a store you haven’t used before? Check its contact details, delivery costs and returns policy first, and check the shrink-wrap and seals when your order arrives.

Amazon AU sells Pokémon sealed product too. We don’t read Amazon’s prices, so compare its checkout total with the stores above.
