Does Pokemon Center Japan ship to US buyers, or to any address outside Japan? Per the official Pokemon Center Online delivery guide, no: it states that delivery to overseas addresses is not accepted and that delivery destinations are limited to Japan.
This guide quotes the policy as the official pages word it, explains how the online lottery works, and sets out what collectors outside Japan do instead. Page wording is as printed on September 29, 2026.
Pokemon Center Online does not accept delivery outside Japan, per its delivery guide, and the official store list repeats that shipping is within Japan only. Lottery products carry their own rules, including a personal-use right that cannot be transferred. The Fukuoka Special BOX we list is sold out at the time of this update — restock requests go through Quick Order.

What the Official Pages Say
The Pokemon Center Online delivery guide has a section for customers who want goods delivered abroad. In translation, it says overseas delivery is not accepted and that delivery destinations are accepted in Japan only. The official Pokemon Center store list repeats the point beside its Pokemon Center Online link, noting shipping within Japan only.
The delivery guide adds that regular items go by Yamato Transport, with some by Sagawa Express. Neither official page names an overseas forwarding route or an exception for particular products.
How the Online Lottery Works
The lottery guide says a lottery sale may be run for some products. Entries are made from the lottery notice, some lotteries require phone-number authentication, entries can be cancelled only while applications are open, and results are sent by email and shown in the customer’s account page.
The 30th CELEBRATION notice of August 3, 2026 adds rules of its own. One entry per person per lottery, and the result is not first come, first served. There are two slots, a Players Club identity-authenticated slot (My Number card authentication) and a non-authenticated slot (phone-number authentication). The right to buy belongs to the winner and cannot be passed to a third party.
The 30th CELEBRATION Lottery Products
The same notice lists four products, with prices in tax-included yen and delivery timing as stated.
| Product (as listed) | Price | Application | Result | Shipping |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MEGA expansion pack 30th CELEBRATION BOX | ¥7,200 | Aug 10 12:00 to Aug 14 16:59 | Aug 21 | Planned by the day before release, Sept 15 |
| 30th CELEBRATION Premium Deck Set Espeon and Umbreon | ¥6,200 | Aug 10 12:00 to Aug 14 16:59 | Aug 21 | Planned by Sept 15 |
| 30th CELEBRATION FUTURISTIC BOX | ¥27,500 | Aug 10 12:00 to Aug 14 16:59 | Aug 21 | Planned by Sept 15 |
| 30th CELEBRATION Card Set (9-type set) | ¥10,800 | Aug 28 to Aug 31 | Sept 4 | Planned by the day before release, Oct 15 |
The notice states goods are never delivered before the release date. The Card Set is sold as a set of nine types at ¥1,200 each. For what happened after the lottery, see our lottery results guide.
Special BOX: Lottery, Additional Production and Flea-Market Caution
The Tohoku, Hiroshima and Fukuoka Special BOX products were announced on pokemon-card.com on June 13, 2025 at a suggested retail price of ¥2,090 (tax included). Each holds a foil regional Pikachu promo, a deck shield (64 sleeves), a deck case and a long card box. The notice says they were sold by lottery on Pokemon Center Online and that Pokemon Centers might handle them later.
A notice updated March 13, 2026 announces additional production and additional sales on Pokemon Center Online, states that further production is planned depending on sales, and asks buyers to stay calm about purchases on flea-market sites.
Visiting a Store in Person
The official store list is the other half of the policy. It groups the shops into six regional groups across Japan, from Sapporo and Sendai in the north to Fukuoka and Okinawa in the south, and names two shops abroad, Pokemon Center Taipei and Pokemon Center Singapore at Jewel Changi Airport. The two overseas entries are separate shops on the list; the official pages do not describe what they sell or how they are supplied.
A store visit is subject to each shop’s own notices. Pokemon Center Mega Tokyo’s page, for example, lists 10:00-20:00 daily hours with a note that hours can change and temporary closures are possible, and it posts its own lottery notices. The store page is the place to read before travelling.
The Japanese 30th CELEBRATION Box from a Japan-Based Seller
The 30th CELEBRATION lottery products above are Pokemon Center items. The Japanese M6a 30th CELEBRATION booster box is a separate listing of ours: the No Shrink option is currently listed at ¥23,447 (~$152). Our UK buying guide and complete list of Japanese 30th products show which Japanese 30th products exist and how they are sold.
What Collectors Outside Japan Do Instead
Because the official shop does not deliver abroad, options for an overseas collector include a visit to a store in Japan or a purchase from a Japan-based seller that lists the product. We are one such seller. The Fukuoka and Tohoku Special BOX products are sold out at the time of this update — restock requests go through Quick Order.
Our Pokemon Center exclusives guide, regional Special BOX guide and how-to-buy guide go into each route. For graded cards, PSA10 Genesect ex SR [SV11B 164/086] is currently listed at ¥4,680 (~$30).
Also in the collection: PSA10 MEGA Starmie ex SR [M3 095/080], currently listed at ¥4,530 (~$29).
Where to Buy
The Pokemon Center Fukuoka Special BOX is sold out at the time of this update — restock requests go through Quick Order. Graded cards are in the PSA 10 collection and the PSA 10 card list. For a specific Pokemon Center product that is not listed, sourcing requests go through Quick Order.
