A pre-order lets you order a set’s products before the set is released. Here’s what a pre-order means on DexCompare, how to compare pre-order prices, what to check before you pay, and which sets you can pre-order in New Zealand right now.

What a pre-order listing means here

On DexCompare, a product is a pre-order when its set hasn’t been released yet and a store is taking orders for it. It’s marked Pre-order where a released product says In stock, and it’s compared on price the same way.

The date beside each set is its English-language release date from The Pokémon Company. Stores may ship pre-orders a few days either side of it, so check the store’s own listing for when it expects to send yours.

How to compare pre-order prices

  • Per pack, not per box. A booster box holds 36 packs, an Elite Trainer Box 9 (in Scarlet & Violet and Mega Evolution sets) and a booster bundle 6, so divide to compare them. The tables above do it for you.
  • How many stores are taking orders. More stores means more prices to compare: every product card shows how many have it open.
  • Shipping. Our prices are each store’s listed price, excluding shipping, so add delivery before you decide.
  • Store against store. We don’t show a list price for New Zealand, so the comparison is between the stores themselves.

Before you pay: a pre-order checklist

  1. Check whether the store charges now or at dispatch, so you know when the money leaves your account.
  2. Check the cancellation and refund terms for pre-orders, before you place one.
  3. Check the expected dispatch date on the store’s listing, and remember stores may ship a few days either side of the release date.
  4. Check delivery: what it costs, and where the parcel ships from.
  5. Check for a per-customer limit on the product.
  6. Check it’s the exact product: the right set, the right product type, and English-language.
  7. Check you have an order confirmation, and keep it until the parcel arrives.
  8. Check the shrink-wrap and seals when it arrives.

Where to buy

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.

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, and delivers many items to New Zealand (check the one you want does). We don’t read Amazon’s prices, so compare its checkout total with the stores above.
