Thirty Sword & Shield boxes are indexed by pokemon booster box price: our store option and the SNKRDUNK lowest ask, both dated September 30, 2026. The S era opens with S1W Sword and S1H Shield, released in Japan on December 6, 2019, and closes with S12a VSTAR Universe on December 2, 2022. Release dates and main-set card counts follow Bulbapedia’s list of Japanese expansions (as of September 15, 2026); pack prices and kaarten per pack follow pokemon-card.com (S1, S6a and S9a) and the kagayakunumerugon.jp price database for the other sets (S11: Bulbapedia and a retail listing).
Each row shows the Japan release date, the printed pack price, our own listing, and the SNKRDUNK lowest ask for the same set. An ask is the price a seller is asking, not a sale price, and it is quoted only as “lowest ask on SNKRDUNK, September 30, 2026”.
We sell Japanese sealed product and graded singles from Tokyo. USD figures convert at ¥154/USD, approximate.
The lowest asks on SNKRDUNK for the S1–S12a boxes ran from ¥9,500 (S11a) to ¥222,000 (S7R) as of September 30, 2026. Sets released as a pair, such as S7R Blue Sky Stream and S7D Skyscraping Perfection, carry separate asks (¥222,000 and ¥18,700). One example from the era’s high-class packs: the S8b VMAX Climax box is currently listed at ¥31,181 (~$202).
Every store listing and every SNKRDUNK ask is dated September 30, 2026.
How to Read the Four Data Columns
The table columns below use four sources. Nothing is calculated from them: no averages, no per-pack costs, no changes over time.
- Released in Japan — the date in Bulbapedia’s list of Japanese expansions (as of September 15, 2026).
- Pack price · kaarten per pack — from pokemon-card.com (S1, S6a, S9a) and the kagayakunumerugon.jp price database for the other sets (S11: Bulbapedia and a retail listing).
- Our listing — the price shown on the product page, given only when the box is buyable. A sold-out box carries no price.
- SNKRDUNK lowest ask — the lowest asking price printed for the set’s box on September 30, 2026, or “no dated figure” where none is on record for that date.
S-era boxes are mostly single-price product pages; S11 also offers a No Shrink option, and S11a and S12 list a Sealed option.

SNKRDUNK Lowest Asks, Largest First
The ten largest lowest asks among the S boxes on September 30, 2026, sorted by the figure alone. The order says nothing beyond the numbers.
| # | Set | SNKRDUNK lowest ask (Sept 30, 2026) | Our listing |

Pack Price Tiers, Special Formats and Packs per Box
Each set has one printed pack price. Across S1–S12a the tiers are these.
| Pack price | Cards per pack | Sets |
|---|---|---|
| ¥165 | 5 | S1W, S1H, S1a, S2, S2a, S3, S4, S5I, S5R, S5a, S6H, S6K, S6a, S7D, S7R, S8, S9, S10D, S10P, S11, S12 |
| ¥253 | 7 | S3a |
| ¥260 | 6 | S9a, S10a, S10b, S11a |
| ¥297 | 5 | S8a |
| ¥550 | 10 | S4a, S12a |
| ¥550 | 11 | S8b |
The ¥165 tier is the standard S-era expansion pack. The ¥165 to ¥180 revision took effect at the Sword & Shield to Scarlet & Violet transition in January 2023, so no S set is printed at ¥180 (kai-you.net).
Ten sets differ from the standard 5-card pack or the standard box layout. The table lists their format, pack price, packs per box and main-set size as recorded.
| Set | Format | Pack price · kaarten per pack | Packs per box | Cards in main set |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S3a Legendary Heartbeat (伝説の鼓動) | Enhanced expansion pack | ¥253 · 7 cards | 20 confirmed | 76 |

| S12a VSTAR Universe (VSTARユニバース) | High-class pack | ¥550 · 10 cards | 10 confirmed | 172 |
Standard expansion packs such as S1W, S1H and S11 are confirmed at 30 packs per box. For the other ¥165 sets the 30-pack layout is the one confirmed for a sibling set; it is not confirmed on the set’s own product page. S9a Battle Region is listed at 20 packs and ¥5,200 per box.
Damaged Box Listings Are Separate Products
Damaged Box products are separate listings with their own product pages and their own prices. They are not an option of the sealed box above. Each set can have a Damaged Box and a Damaged Box (Grade B) listing, and some sets also have No Shrink versions of both; each is a separate product, and the product page shows the condition terms.

Prices as of September 30, 2026. A cell that reads “sold out” carries no price; restock requests go through Snel bestellen.
The No Shrink versions of the Damaged Box products are separate again; a “sold out” cell in the first table refers to that plain product only.

Before You Order a Japanese Booster Box
Four checks apply to every S row before an order.
- Match the set code and the version letter. S6H and S6K, or S7D and S7R, are different boxes with separate rows and separate prices.
- Read the product page for current terms. The tables show the state on September 30, 2026; the product page shows the terms that apply when you order.
- Treat an ask as an ask. A lowest ask on SNKRDUNK is a seller’s asking price on one marketplace and one date.
- Keep Damaged Box separate. A Damaged Box price does not describe the sealed box of the same set, and the reverse.
For the wider picture of Japanese set codes, the list of every Japanese Pokemon set in order covers the S, SV and MEGA eras, and the guide to buying Japanese Pokemon cards from Japan covers the order flow.
Where to Buy S-Era Boxes from Japan
Every S box above links to its own product page from the price in the table. For the wider range, the Pokemon card box collection lists the sealed boxes we carry, and specific sets that show as sold out go through Snel bestellen as a sourcing request.
Two related reads: the Pokemon Center Japan overseas shipping policy covers the official store route, and the Mercari Japan buying guide compares a proxy route with buying from a Tokyo shop.
Example listings: S1H Shield (¥60,706 (~$394)), S8a 25th Anniversary Collection (¥59,049 (~$383)), and S12a VSTAR Universe (¥25,883 (~$168)).
