Costco’s New 'Pokémon' 30th Anniversary Bundle Is An Unbelievable Deal

Warehouse retailer Costco is determined to blow its competitors out of the water when it comes to selling Pokémon Trading Card Game products. A couple of months after debuting the best Pokémon deal of 2026, the members-only retailer is back with another offer that sounds too good to be true. This time, Costco's promotion targets Pokémon collectors hunting for the elusive 30th Anniversary collection.

What Pokémon cards is Costco selling in November 2026?

Since early November, Costco locations have been receiving shipments of a 2-pack Pokémon bundle. The bundle includes the Pokémon 30th Anniversary Elite Trainer Box with nine booster packs, dice, card sleeves, and a Nidoran promo card. The second part of the bundle is a 30th Anniversary Booster product with six TCG packs.

The manufacturer's suggested retail price for the ETB alone is $49.99; the Booster Bundle is around $26.99. Most stores, such as Target, sell these products with a markup — the ETB alone is $69.99. Market prices, which you'll find on places like Facebook or TCGPlayer, are nearly double MSRP.

Somehow, Costco is selling its ETB and Booster Bundle combo for a mere $57.49. (Insert the head explosion emoji here.)

Do I need a Costco membership to buy the Pokémon 30th Anniversary bundle?

You do — Costco employees won't let you into a store without one.

How much ETB and Booster Bundle stock will Costco have?

While Costco does not share internal stock numbers, third-party distributors suggest shipments are large. My closest store, for example, is expected to be somewhere between 720 and 1,200 units. Other stores in my vicinity are estimated to have just under 5,000 units. You can check out regional shipment breakdowns here.

When will my Costco start selling the Pokémon bundles?

It's hard to say, even with specific stock estimates. The aforementioned shipments aren't arriving all at once, and stores decide when to put pallets on the sales floor. Some shipments have only been ordered, while others are actively in transit. Some locations, like a handful in Texas, have already sold their initial inventory. In other cases, stores that were going to participate in the offer dropped out over the last few days. If your store is going to receive a shipment, the only certainty is that the store will put out the boxes soon.

The best way to keep track of these drops is to join a Discord server like PokeBratz, or to search Facebook for local groups that post regional updates. Just be aware that, in many cases, there's a gap between when a drop begins and when news spreads. Usually, when a user in a Facebook group tells others about a Pokémon drop, that stock disappears in 30 minutes or less. Plan accordingly.

Will Costco sell the ETB and Booster Bundle online?

There's no official announcement, but backend Costco website changes tracked by restock Discord servers suggest an online drop is coming. Based on previous online sales, the price online is likely to be higher than the one offered in-store. And though stocks sell out quickly at real-world locations, your chances of scoring at a local Costco are actually higher than they are online. In the past, Costco's online Pokémon inventory sold immediately due to bots, or the drop was canceled after being slammed with heavy traffic.

Will Costco sell the UPC?

If you strike out both IRL and online, don't lose hope. Pokémon restock Discord servers report that Costco will begin sales for a two-pack of the 30th Anniversary Ultra Premium Collection. The bundle consists of one Day-themed box and one Night-themed box, and it'll allegedly cost $288. For the sake of comparison, Target sells a single UPC for $249.99 — and resale prices for each variant are well over $300. Geez.
