PRB-02 Release Date and Japanese Booster Box: Contents, Cards and How to Buy

The PRB-02 (PRB02) release date in Japan was July 26, 2025, according to Bandai’s Japanese product page for PREMIUM BOOSTER -ONE PIECE CARD THE BEST vol.2-. The set is already out, so no pre-order window is open. You buy the Japanese edition booster box as a normal order, and this guide covers the dates, the contents and how our shipping and payment work.

Updated November 9, 2026

What are the key facts about PRB-02?

PRB-02 is a Premium Booster in the ONE PIECE CARD GAME line, and the table below gives the exact names, code, date and contents so there is no confusion with other sets. The facts come from Bandai’s official pages for Japan, the English-language site and the Asia-English site, plus our own product page for the PRB-02 ONE PIECE CARD THE BEST vol.2 Japanese One Piece Booster Box (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order).

The product page for our regular box also describes the set as the second premium best-of collection, featuring top cards from OP-07 through OP-10 with new premium artwork and special parallel treatments.

What is the PRB02 release date in Japan?

The Japanese edition of PRB-02 went on sale on July 26, 2025, which Bandai’s Japanese page gives as a Saturday release. That page also lists the price as 550 yen per pack with tax included, and says release-commemorating events were held nationwide.

The Asia-English page lists the same July 26, 2025 date for its edition. The English-language page lists a different date: October 3, 2025, with an official legal date of October 10, 2025. Our own product page for the regular box prints “Japanese Release Date: October 3, 2025”, which matches the English-language page rather than the Japanese one. If you need the date the Japanese edition first reached Japanese shops, use July 26, 2025. The table below lines the dates up.

Bandai’s Japanese page also says the set is recommended for strengthening the Starter Deck released on June 28, 2025. The English-language page says the same thing: the set is positioned to enhance the Starter Decks released June 28, 2025. So the Starter Decks came first, and PRB-02 followed as the product built to support them.

In practice, treat July 26, 2025 as the date for the Japanese edition and the Asia-English edition, and treat October 3 and October 10, 2025 as dates for the English-language edition. The English-language page also notes that cards are tournament legal from the pre-release date in your region, so the date that matters for play depends on where you live and which edition you use.

Can you still pre-order PRB-02?

No, there is nothing left to pre-order, because the official Japanese release date of July 26, 2025 is long past. A pre-order only exists before a set goes on sale, so for PRB-02 you now place a regular order for a box that is already released.

That changes how you should read this guide. If you are searching for the PRB02 release date because you want to know whether you missed the launch, the answer is that the launch happened in 2025 and the Japanese edition has been on the market since. The practical question today is where to buy a sealed box and what it costs to get it delivered, which the later sections cover.

Our regular PRB-02 box is on a normal product page (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order), and the listing describes it as brand new and sealed, with each box containing 10 booster packs of 10 cards. It is a sealed, randomized product: the cards in each box are packed at the factory, so which cards you open is down to chance.

What does a PRB-02 booster box contain?

A PRB-02 booster box contains 10 booster packs with 10 cards each, so 100 cards per box, according to our product page. The set itself has 179 card types plus 30 DON!! card types, and each pack carries at least one Super Rare card or better.

The official rarity breakdown is the same on all three Bandai pages. It is shown below.

Bandai’s notes add that multiples of one card may appear in the packs and that a full set may be hard to assemble. The pages also say illustrations and product details may differ from the actual product, and that cards are tournament legal from the pre-release date in your region.

The Asia-English page adds one extra item: playmats could be downloaded through a survey, and the Japanese and English versions share the same design.

Which cards does PRB-02 reprint, and which are new?

PRB-02 reprints six cards with new parallel art, adds six new cards with parallel art, and gives special treatments to a handful more. Bandai’s Japanese page splits them this way, and the table below uses those groupings.

The Japanese page calls the Sanji card OP06-119 a super parallel card and says it is his debut as a super parallel card. The English-language page calls the same card the Super Alt-Art card. Bandai also lists 30 different DON!! cards, some with Alt-Art and Super Alt-Art, Event cards in full-art foil-stamped Alt-Art, and SP cards with special designs.

If you want every card, rarity and parallel in one place, use our PRB-02 complete card list and the SP, Secret Rare and parallel list. This guide only covers the cards Bandai names on its product pages. For the cards people chase, read our PRB-02 chase cards article.

What did PRB-02 cost at launch?

Bandai’s Japanese page lists PRB-02 at 550 yen per pack with tax included, and the English-language page lists a suggested price of USD 5.49 per pack. Both are manufacturer’s suggested prices for a single pack, not prices for a box or for the product from a shop.

The Asia-English page lists no price. Our own box price is shown on the product page, so check the page for the price that applies when you order. All payments on our site are made in Japanese yen (JPY).

Pack prices matter mainly as a reference point for what the set cost when it was released. They do not tell you what a sealed box costs from a shop today, and we do not predict how any price will move.

How do you buy a Japanese PRB-02 box from outside Japan?

You add the box to your cart on our product page, check out in yen, pay with Wise, PayPal or a card through PayPal, and we ship it from Tokyo by FedEx. The regular listing is the PRB-02 Japanese One Piece Booster Box (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order), and our page says it ships directly from our warehouse in Tokyo via FedEx with tracking and insurance on every shipment.

There is no minimum order amount or quantity, so a single box is a valid order. The steps are short.

1. Open the product page and add the box to your cart.
2. Enter a physical delivery address. FedEx cannot deliver to P.O. Boxes.
3. Choose Standard or Expedited shipping. The cost is calculated automatically at checkout from your delivery address.
4. Pay by Wise, PayPal or a credit or debit card through PayPal.
5. Wait for the order to be processed and dispatched, then follow the tracking number from your account or the shipping confirmation email.

You can check your order status through your customer account. Once the products are secured and the shipment is ready, we update the order status, and after dispatch you can see the tracking number and the carrier’s latest delivery estimate in your account or in the shipping confirmation email.

How long does shipping take after you order?

Most orders are processed and shipped within 5 business days after your PayPal or Wise payment has cleared, and FedEx transit is usually 3-7 business days on Standard or 2-5 business days on Expedited. All of these are estimates only.

Business days exclude weekends and Japanese national holidays. The delivery dates you see on the website, at checkout or in carrier tools do not include our handling time, pre-order release timing, supplier allocation delays, quality inspection holds, weekends, Japanese national holidays, customs processing, carrier congestion, weather or destination-country delivery conditions.

Stock levels for sealed Japanese trading card products fluctuate frequently, so dispatch can take longer than the standard handling time. Examples are supplier allocation changes, inventory arriving later than expected, or a unit reserved for your order failing quality inspection. If dispatch is delayed, we contact you by email as soon as practical with the revised estimate. For significant delays before handoff to FedEx, we may offer the option to wait or to cancel the order with a full refund.

Once a parcel is with FedEx, delivery timing is controlled by the carrier and destination-country authorities. Customs inspections, import procedures, remote-area handling, peak season congestion and weather may delay delivery, and such transit delays do not by themselves create a right to cancel or refund after dispatch.

Which payment method should you use for PRB-02?

Use Wise bank transfer if you want to avoid the 5% payment processing fee, and use PayPal or a card through PayPal if you want payment to complete immediately at checkout. Wise is the only method without the fee, according to our payment methods page.

For Wise, enter the payment reference issued with your order, SST-{order number}, in the transfer reference field exactly as issued. The screenshot option requires an account and is not available at guest checkout. If you pay by SWIFT, add JPY 611 to your order total to cover the receiving fee, and choose the OUR charge option so correspondent bank fees are covered on your side.

A PayPal account is usually not required for a card payment, though PayPal may occasionally ask you to sign in or create one. We never see or store your card number, expiry date or security code, because the card form opens in PayPal’s own secure window.

Any difference between the amount we charge and the amount on your statement comes from exchange rates and conversion fees charged by your card issuer, bank or PayPal, and that is outside our control.

Can you pay for PRB-02 in instalments?

Sometimes, through PayPal Pay Later, but availability is decided by PayPal. Pay Later is offered and operated by PayPal, and the instalment agreement is between you and PayPal.

Each of these options is interest-free according to our payment page. In other countries PayPal may show a different option on different terms, so read what PayPal displays before you confirm.

What if the box arrives with a wrong address or a delay?

Check the address before you pay, because the customer is responsible for providing a complete and accurate shipping address. While an order is paid and its shipment has not yet been scheduled, you can update the shipping address yourself from My Account > Orders > the order.

The destination country cannot be changed, and the carrier, shipping method and FedEx service level stay as selected at checkout. If shipping to the new address costs more, you pay the difference before dispatch and the order is held until it is settled. If it costs less, the shipping charge is not recalculated and no refund is made.

After the shipment is scheduled, the self-service change closes. Only a minor correction that does not affect any shipping condition may be considered, and only if the shipment has not been handed to FedEx. If you notice an error, use the Contact Form immediately.

The FIRSTSHIP coupon ended on July 31, 2026 and can no longer be applied at checkout, so do not plan around it.

Should you buy the regular box or the damaged box?

Buy the regular box if you want a clean outer box, and consider the damaged box only if a discount matters more to you than the condition of the outside. The regular listing is the PRB-02 booster box (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order), and the discounted listing is the PRB-02 Damaged Box (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order).

The Damaged Box page says the item is discounted because of cosmetic damage to the outer box, such as dents or scratches, and that the cards inside are unaffected. The type and extent of damage vary by item, and the photos are samples, so the box you receive may differ. The page also states that the item is sold as-is, that we do not respond to inquiries about it, and that returns and refunds are not accepted.

The page explains why these boxes exist: we buy large volumes of Japanese trading cards every day, and some boxes we take in have dents, scratches or other damage. Boxes that cannot be sold as mint-condition products are separated from regular stock during inspection and offered at a lower price than regular products.

Choose by purpose. A collector who keeps sealed boxes on a shelf should take the regular box. Both are Japanese edition boxes, so the contents described above apply to both.

How does this guide compare with the other PRB-02 guides on this site?

This article covers dates and buying, while other articles on this site cover the same set from other angles. Use the PRB-02 booster box buying guide for the box, the complete card list for the cards, and the chase cards article for the top hits.

Where can you buy PRB-02 from Tokyo?

You can buy it from us: the regular PRB-02 Japanese booster box (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) is the clean-box option, and the PRB-02 Damaged Box (update: currently sold out — restock requests via Quick Order) is the discounted, as-is option. Both ship from our warehouse in Tokyo by FedEx.

Before you order, decide on three things: the box type, the shipping speed (Standard or Expedited) and the payment method (Wise to avoid the 5% fee, or PayPal and cards for instant completion). Then enter a physical address, because FedEx cannot deliver to P.O. Boxes. For more on this set, read the PRB-02 booster box buying guide and the complete card list.
