   Pokémon ownership and card-production origin

   OfficialRecorded 2026-09-04
   Brand/operator country is Japan: The Pokémon Company was established by Nintendo, Creatures and GAME FREAK, all Japanese companies. English cards are printed in the US or EU; Japanese cards are printed and supported by The Pokémon Company in Japan. Actual origin must be checked on each wrapper.
   Company history supports the operator's Japanese origin; the support page describes card-production regions. Actual manufacturing origin still needs checking on the physical wrapper.

   Japanese MEGA Start Deck 100 — official format and random selection

   OfficialRecorded 2026-09-05
   Japanese MEGA Start Deck 100 Battle Collection launched on 19 December 2025. Each purchase contains one randomly selected 60-card constructed deck, damage markers and at least 2 Pokémon ex. The number 100 describes the deck range, not the card count.
   The manufacturer does not provide numerical SAR/MUR odds sufficient for an opening-value calculation. A range of 100 deck labels does not establish a 1% chance of a particular chase card.

   OfficialRecorded 2026-09-05

   Espeon side art does not select the promo. The stamped promo is not the valuable Umbreon special illustration rare from random boosters. Equal nine-way probabilities and the photographed shelf price were not established.

    English First Partner promos — dated demand and market evidence

    MarketRecorded 2026-09-05
    TCGplayer's 22 July 2026 report, based on April–June transactions, placed English Charmander MEP038 ninth by dollar sales among all TCG singles. Its market price was US$36.81 on 20 July. The English Rowlet MEP043 search snapshot accessed on 5 September showed a Near Mint Holofoil market price of US$6.00.
    The Charmander report is historical demand evidence, not a September valuation. These different dates and printings do not establish Series 1 opening value and cannot be transferred to Chinese promos.

    OfficialRecorded 2026-09-05
    The Torchic-art hanger matches the Simplified Chinese 30th Celebration First Partner Special Illustration Holofoil Card Set Vol.3, released on 7 August 2026. It contains 1 random promo from 9 equally produced Hoenn, Kalos or Paldea designs, a magnetic acrylic display frame and 1 five-card 共逐荣光 booster.
    Torchic wrapper art does not guarantee Torchic. The promo pool contains no Kanto starters. The official page supports the matching packaging and contents, not the store's price or current stock.

    Chinese First Partner Vol.3 — exact promos and asking-price limits

    MarketRecorded 2026-09-05
    The Vol.3 promo pool is Treecko 007/30th-P, Torchic 008, Mudkip 009, Chespin 016, Fennekin 017, Froakie 018, Sprigatito 025, Fuecoco 026 and Quaxly 027. An exact Simplified Chinese Torchic 008/30th-P listing asked US$9.90 or Best Offer, described as ungraded Near Mint or better, plus US$9.99 displayed shipping. Cardmarket listed the exact Chinese Treecko 007 from EUR11.99.
    These are indexed foreign asks, not completed sales or verified Malaysian delivered quotes. No complete, condition-matched nine-outcome transaction distribution or expected opening value was established. The Impulse hanger itself was photographed at RM49 on 4 September 2026; that separate shelf observation is not the older Vol.1 RM50 retailer comparison.

    Six-pack booster bundles — official contents and release dates

    OfficialRecorded 2026-09-05
    The English 151, Destined Rivals, Prismatic Evolutions and Ascended Heroes Booster Bundles each contain 6 random boosters, with no advertised guaranteed high-value promo. Their bundle releases were 22 September 2023, 30 May 2025, 7 March 2025 and 24 April 2026 respectively. Only 151 is explicitly original-151 themed; the other sets mix generations while including Kanto characters.
    These are exact bundle release dates, not necessarily the earlier expansion dates. A relevant Kanto character or valuable card does not make the whole card pool Kanto-only.

    English 151 Charizard ex 199/165 — reported transactions

    MarketRecorded 2026-09-05
    PriceCharting reports an ungraded English 151 Charizard ex SIR 199/165 transaction at US$381 on 2 September 2026. This is the dated example used in this guide.
    This is a third-party reported gross transaction. Underlying ended-listing condition photographs and payment were not independently audited. The card is a possible random pull, not guaranteed bundle contents or a Malaysian buyback quote; this example does not establish pack opening value.

    Ascended Heroes Pikachu ex 276/217 — reported transactions

    MarketRecorded 2026-09-05
    PriceCharting reports ungraded English Ascended Heroes Pikachu ex SIR 276/217 transactions at US$879 and US$895 on 4 September 2026, an explicitly Near Mint listing at US$875 on 1 September, and TCGplayer Near Mint English at US$700 on 31 August.
    Selected titles match the printing, but underlying condition photographs were not independently audited. This is evidence of a valuable Kanto card within a mixed-generation set, not guaranteed random-pack proceeds or a Malaysian resale floor.

    Traditional Chinese Mega Tactics Decks — fixed official contents

    OfficialRecorded 2026-09-05
    The four photographed Traditional Chinese products match the 2026 Mega Tactics Decks, released on 17 July 2026. Each contains a fixed 60-card deck, damage-counter and marker sheet, paper half-playmat and tactics guide.
    There is no random deck selection or advertised SAR/MUR chase slot. Their exact guaranteed cards can be assessed for collecting value even when competitive play is not the buyer's purpose.

    Mega Gardevoir Tactics Deck — fixed cards and asking-price evidence

    RetailerRecorded 2026-09-05, 2026-09-04
    The RM79 Traditional Chinese Mega Gardevoir ex deck guarantees 2 MTSF 004/023 Mega Gardevoir ex and 1 each of Lillie's Clefairy ex, Latias ex, Jellicent ex, Mega Diancie ex and Meowth ex. MS-TCG listed the exact headline single at HK$20 each.
    This is a foreign retail ask, not a condition-matched completed sale or total-deck net resale valuation. Supporting Kanto cards do not make the Gardevoir-led deck Kanto-centred. English special-illustration prices do not value these deck printings.

    Mega Sharpedo Tactics Deck — fixed cards and asking-price evidence

    The RM79 Traditional Chinese Mega Sharpedo ex deck guarantees 3 MTHF 003/020 Mega Sharpedo ex, 4 Carvanha and 1 each of Fezandipiti ex and Pecharunt ex. MS-TCG listed the exact headline single at HK$20; Beehive's indexed collection listed HK$10, sold out.
    Foreign asks and sold-out listings are not verified completed sales or Malaysian cash-out values. This is an all-generations fixed-card candidate, not a Kanto-led collection or random SAR hunt. No reliable total-deck net resale model was established.

    The RM79 Traditional Chinese Mega Dragonite ex deck guarantees 2 MTKF 008/023 Mega Dragonite ex, 4 Dratini, 3 Dragonair and 1 each of Keldeo ex, Meowth ex and Mega Kangaskhan ex. MS-TCG listed the exact headline single at HK$20 each.
    The Kanto evolutionary line is directly relevant, but the Mega form and mixed-generation deck are not original-151-only. The foreign single-card ask is not a condition-matched completed sale or a total-deck net resale valuation.

    Mega Zygarde promo and collection — exact-printing price comparison

    MarketRecorded 2026-09-05
    The guaranteed normal Mega Zygarde ex promo is MEP 071, not Perfect Order SIR 120/088. Its indexed TCGplayer market price was about US$0.60, with asks from US$0.30. Hobby Town listed the collection at RM249.95 with Add to cart and 5 shown in its catalogue, compared with Impulse's RM369: a gap of RM119.05, or 47.63%.
    The normal-card figure is an indexed market snapshot, not a newly verified individual sale. The jumbo is a separate item. Checkout stock, delivery and condition were not verified; the included normal promo does not justify treating this as a guaranteed expensive SIR.

    Evidence accessed on 5 September 2026 showed near-mint asks from €60 each for Chinese Espeon297/SV-P and Umbreon298/SV-P. Espeon had no displayed sales averages; Umbreon's displayed averages were €69 without a visible transaction count. Impulse's voucher-dependent online gift ask of RM1,287.90, cached about one day earlier, was higher than its photographed RM1,049 offer.

    Primordial Arts Overgrow — the RM179 jumbo box

    ResearchRecorded 2026-09-05
    Impulse's 4 September 2026 RM179 Venusaur-fronted Simplified Chinese Primordial Arts Overgrow CS3aC box is the six-pack, twenty-five-card format. Each random pack includes five foils. Released on 17 November 2023, this format changed twenty-five-card boxes from twenty-four packs to six. It is not a Traditional Chinese Heat Wave Arena box or a guaranteed Venusaur VMAX.
    Checked on 5 September 2026, when it was 2 years 9 months 19 days old. Impulse's own RM200.46 online ask came from an approximately two-week-old page; it was neither an independent nor verified ready-stock benchmark.

    Gross opening-cost arithmetic for displays and ETBs

    CalculationRecorded 2026-09-05
    From the September 4 prices, the English 151 bundle allocates RM141.50 per pack; Chaos 36-pack display RM24.97; Pitch 36-pack display RM21.36 and 18-pack half RM22.17. Two Pitch halves cost RM29 more than a full display. Standard ETB allocations include Mega RM61, Phantasmal RM72.11, Chaos RM38.78, Pitch RM49.89 and Prismatic RM88.78 per pack; PC Perfect RM68.09 and Chaos RM86.27.

    Eevee display-pendant gift — random matching card and accessory

    OfficialRecorded 2026-09-05
    The Simplified Chinese Eevee & Friends Flowing Sand Card Display Pendant Gift contains two ten-card Terastal Gathering packs, one random matching Pokémon foil and a display pendant. Ordinary pendants match a species' Poké Ball-pattern foil; hidden pendants match an ex foil. Eevee packaging does not select the species. Released on 12 June 2026.
    Checked on 5 September 2026, when it was 2 months 24 days old. The official ten-percent aggregate hidden rate describes the accessory category among eighteen pendant designs, not a SAR, Umbreon or profitable-card probability. This is not the older quicksand gift or eight-pack binder product.

    Premium gifts versus tin displays — pack-budget comparison

    CalculationRecorded 2026-09-05
    The Lumiose ten-tin RM590 offer allocates RM29.50 per pack; RM59 per tin is a display equivalent, not a single-tin offer. Prismatic's eight-tin RM999 display allocates RM62.44 per pack, versus RM74.83 for its six-pack RM449 bundle and RM79.93 for its fifteen-pack RM1,199 Super-Premium Collection. The latter costs RM200 more for one fewer pack, while adding its fixed promo and accessories.
    Calculated 5 September 2026 from September 4 prices. Allocating the full price to boosters deliberately assigns no value to extras; it is a pack-budget comparison, not a total-quality ranking, cash-out calculation or opening-profit estimate.

The Pokémon Center edition instead has eleven packs and two promos, one stamped. The product launched 3 November 2023.

    Pitch Black PC — Malaysian ask and stamped Zarude metric

    ResearchRecorded 2026-09-07
    On 7 September 2026, Lucky Seven's exact Pitch Black PC listing showed RM799 and availability, versus Impulse's dated RM729 offer. The latter is RM70 lower and RM280 above the standard RM449 box. Cached TCGplayer market metrics separated PC-stamped Zarude 088 at US$27.04 from ordinary 088 at US$1.14.
    No checkout or dispatch was verified. The card metrics were approximately three days old and are not newly authenticated raw near-mint transactions. The RM280 upgrade also buys two packs and edition differences; it is not a demonstrated RM280 single-card value.

    Tohoku and Fukuoka gifts — fixed Pikachu, no boosters

    ResearchRecorded 2026-09-04, 2026-09-07
    Impulse's September 4 offers were Tohoku RM799 and apparent Fukuoka RM1,119. Each complete Japanese gift fixes one Pikachu foil, 64 sleeves, a deck case and long storage box; there are zero boosters. Tohoku is 260/SV-P; Fukuoka 289/SV-P. Official listed product dates are 20 June 2025 and 11 July 2025: 1 year 2 months 18 days and 1 year 1 month 27 days before 7 September 2026.
    Contents and dated listings checked 7 September. The listed dates are not independently established first deliveries, and the earlier lottery opening was not a shipping date. Confirm Fukuoka's small price tag and the complete sealed gift; a single wrapped promo is a different product.

    Pokémon's 13 March 2026 notice announced additional production and sales of Tohoku, Hiroshima and Fukuoka Special Boxes, with further production according to demand. Regional branding therefore does not establish fixed supply or protection from reprints. Fukuoka's supporting artwork includes Latias and Latios; its fixed Pikachu remains a Kanto character.

    Regional Pikachu singles — raw asking prices, not complete boxes

    MarketRecorded 2026-09-07
    On 7 September 2026, exact Japanese Tohoku 260 near-mint raw asks were €80/€82, or €84.99/€85 for individually wrapped promos. Fukuoka 289 individually wrapped near-mint asks were €94.99/€95/€99.99, with an ordinary raw near-mint offer at €100.
    These are selected seller asks for single cards, not whole gifts, paid transactions or Malaysian bids. Graded slabs also appeared among the platform's near-mint listings, so aggregate trend figures were not adopted as clean raw-card valuations.

    Blade Awakening slim box — fifteen five-card packs

    ResearchRecorded 2026-09-07
    Simplified Chinese Blade Awakening CSV7C slim boxes contain fifteen five-card random packs, each including one foil. The photographed RM199 offer works out to RM13.27 per small pack.

    Simplified Chinese Gem Pack Vol.2 CBB2C contains fifteen four-card random foil packs. Three cards use circle/diamond rarity and the fourth star/double/triple-star; an illustration rare is not guaranteed. The connected illustrations are Eevee CBB2C01 15/15, Leafeon CBB2C07 15/15, Sylveon CBB2C09 15/15 and Umbreon CBB2C06 15/15. The RM359 shelf offer is RM23.93 per pack.

     Universal's RM129 three-pack Binacle blister allocates RM43 to each booster before valuing its fixed promo, code and packaging—not RM64.50. Three Impulse Pitch Black sleeves at the photographed RM23 price cost RM69, so the blister costs RM60 more for the same booster count plus its extras.
     Calculated on 7 September 2026 from 4 September offers. This is an acquisition-cost comparison, not expected card value or a claim the extras are worthless. Older retailer prices from the initial research are not refreshed by this correction.

     Universal Golduck blister — three Mega Evolution packs

     Research
     The Universal RM249 blister fixes Golduck MEP008 Pixel Cosmos Holo and contains three Mega Evolution boosters plus a code. It is not the previously described Psyduck product. Released 26 September 2025, it was 11 months 12 days old on 7 September 2026. Golduck is a known Kanto card, but the booster pool is mixed-generation.
     The offer was photographed on 4 September. The rear RM149 tag belongs to an obscured different blister and cannot be assigned to this product. This ordinary fixed foil is not an illustration-rare Golduck; package seals and present stock remain unverified.

     Universal White Flare Tech Sticker Collection — Gothitelle SVP211

     Research
     Universal's photographed RM299 White Flare Tech Sticker Collection contains fixed Gothitelle SVP211, three White Flare boosters, an evolution-chain sticker sheet and a code. It is not the Black Bolt/Reuniclus variant. Released 1 August 2025, it was 1 year 1 month 6 days old on 7 September 2026.
     This is a Gen5-themed collecting option, not a dedicated Gen1 product. The 4 September price and visible packaging do not certify current stock, promo condition or a valuable pull from the random packs.

     Chinese Mega Tactics decks — conditional cross-store comparison

     Observation
     Universal's photographed Traditional Chinese Mega Tactics decks closely match the 2026 editions at Impulse. Dragonite, Sharpedo and Charizard X tags read RM159; Gardevoir's upper tag appears RM159. Impulse's offers were RM79, making a conditional RM80 difference per matching deck. Folded headers do not establish a premium second edition or extra contents.
     The 4 September 2026 photographs were compared on 7 September. Original photographs are retained on file. Art, HP, colour panels and branding support the visual match, but barcodes, backs, seals and current prices still need confirmation. The Gardevoir price remains provisional.

     Traditional Chinese Mega Tactics — fixed deck printings

     OfficialRecorded 2026-09-07
     Each Traditional Chinese Mega Tactics product contains a fixed sixty-card deck, marker sheet, paper half-playmat and tactics guide, with no random boosters or SAR slot. Headline copies are Dragonite 2×MTKF008/023, Sharpedo 3×MTHF003/020, Charizard X 3×MTLF003/023 and Gardevoir 2×MTSF004/023. Released on 17 July 2026; 1 month 21 days old on 7 September. Charizard and Dragonite are Kanto character lines in mixed-generation decks.
     Official lists were checked on 7 September 2026. Earlier retailer asks of HK$40 for Charizard and HK$20 for the other headlines remain dated 5 September, not refreshed prices. No exact whole-deck net-resale value was established, and language alone is not a disqualification.

     The price was photographed on 4 September. SVP055 is not the 151 ordinary 115/165, full-art190/165 or a Mega Kangaskhan. Known Kanto-card collecting is distinct from competitive utility and from a complete original-151 collection.

     Destined Rivals — cheaper pack acquisition is not the same sealed object

     CalculationRecorded 2026-09-07
     Box Hunt's photographed English 36-pack Destined Rivals display is RM2399. For opening only, six Impulse six-pack bundles at RM349 would supply 36 packs for RM2094, RM305 less, IF six units are available. No cheaper currently purchasable clean sealed exact-display equivalent was verified in the 7 September 2026 audit.
     Prices come from 4 September photographs. Bundle availability in that quantity is unconfirmed, and separate bundles do not have the same sealed collector format as one display. Connectism's RM1900 offer was explicitly NOT SEALED. No higher pull rate follows from either packaging choice.

     ResearchRecorded 2026-09-07
     The RM35 metallic Iron Crown wrapper at Box Hunt is Temporal Forces. A separate clearly identified English Black Bolt pack is RM85. Wider views also identify the lower RM40 Iron Valiant pack as Paradox Rift. Ascended Heroes RM75, English 151 RM150 and Shrouded Fable RM45 remain valid observed offers.
     Corrected on 7 September 2026 using the 4 September photographs and matching wrapper references. Partial logos required an artwork comparison. The previous Black Bolt/RM35 association is withdrawn; independent Zekrom card-price evidence does not describe that Temporal Forces pack.

     Cross-store English pack arithmetic — acquisition, not pull value

     CalculationRecorded 2026-09-07
     Using 4 September 2026 offers: Box Hunt Chaos RM26 is RM23 below Universal's RM49 sleeve; Silver RM60 is RM1 above Universal's RM59; Paradox RM40 is RM5 below Universal's RM45. Thirty-six RM26 Chaos singles total RM936, RM37 above Impulse's RM899 display. Nine total RM234, RM115 below its RM349 nine-pack ETB before valuing the promo and extras.
     Loose and sleeved packaging differs; quantity availability is unconfirmed. Apparent Box SV base RM40 versus Universal RM45 gives a conditional RM5 difference. Six 151 singles total RM900 versus the RM849 bundle, saving RM51. Apparent Box Pokénade RM249 versus Impulse RM229 is a conditional RM20 difference. None measures pull odds or card resale value.

     Prices were photographed 4 September; official specifications checked 7 September 2026. The lower SV3 pack brings the identified Japanese total to 22 families, including 21 in the main section. Weak tags remain weak and the sets are not interchangeable with their regional printings.

     Japanese Eevee 078 and Mew 347 — exact raw-card value examples

     MarketRecorded 2026-09-07
     Crimson Haze Eevee AR078/066 had reported raw near-mint transactions of US$29.99 on 3 September and 31 August 2026. Shiny Treasure Mew ex SAR347/190 had US$425 on 6 September and US$450 on 30 August. These exact Japanese printings are Kanto-card targets within mixed expansions.
     Inspected 7 September 2026 with language and condition labels checked. Higher struck-through asking amounts were not used. These are selected reported transactions, not independently authenticated settlement or condition, Malaysian cash values or proof that opening packs is profitable.

     Box Hunt hanging English products — Houndstone and sleeved packs

     ResearchRecorded 2026-09-07
     Box Hunt's Obsidian Flames Houndstone three-pack blister has an unreadable price. It contains three boosters, fixed foil Houndstone SVP042 and a code—not Houndstone ex or guaranteed Charizard. The nearby Chaos Rising sleeve is unpriced; Twilight Masquerade is RM50, matching Impulse; Destined Rivals is apparent RM45.
     Photographed 4 September 2026 and checked 7 September. Expansion dates and ages: Obsidian, 11 August 2023, 3y 27d; Chaos, 22 May 2026, 3m 16d; Twilight, 24 May 2024, 2y 3m 14d; Destined, 30 May 2025, 1y 3m 8d.

     Box Hunt — Nine Colors and Primordial pack variants

     ResearchRecorded 2026-09-07
     Simplified Chinese Nine Colors Gathering 源/Mew and 朋/Umbreon packs have apparent RM20/RM35 tags. Each family has five-card and twenty-five-card variants; the photographed counts remain unresolved. They launched on 1 March 2024, 2 years 6 months 6 days before 7 September 2026. Primordial Arts 茂/Venusaur and 激/Blastoise both read RM35 and appear large-format, but the twenty-five-card count requires confirmation; that family launched on 17 November 2023, 2 years 9 months 21 days earlier.
     The photographs are dated 4 September; official formats were checked on 7 September. These are random boosters, not fixed-character collections. Protectors do not prove grading, authenticity or a guaranteed pictured Pokémon, and related family variants are not interchangeable products.

     Box Hunt — probable Gem5 and identified Gem6 packs

     ResearchRecorded 2026-09-07
     The probable Floragato pack is Simplified Chinese Gem Pack Vol.5 CBB5C, released on 24 April 2026, 4 months 14 days before 7 September. The clear Applin pack is Vol.6 CBB6C, released on 7 August 2026, one month earlier. Each contains four random foils, not four guaranteed valuable illustrations. Prices were unreadable. A possible Ponyta Vol.4 front could not be reliably identified.
     Official products and the 4 September photographs were checked on 7 September 2026. Gem6 identification is strong; Gem5 remains probable. The unresolved possible Gem4 item is not a confirmed purchase candidate, and no price or completed-sale value was invented.

     Box Hunt — Gem3 and probable Gem2 individual packs

     ResearchRecorded 2026-09-07
     Box Hunt's orange Gengar pack is Simplified Chinese Gem Pack Vol.3 CBB3C, with four random foils; the partially visible Sylveon pack is probably Vol.2 CBB2C, also four random foils. Both prices are unreadable. Their launches were 26 September 2025 and 16 May 2025, respectively 11 months 12 days and 1 year 3 months 22 days before 7 September 2026.
     Reviewed on 7 September using 4 September photographs and previously checked product specifications. Whole-box prices do not value these individual packs. Gengar and Eevee targets merit consideration, but neither expansion is all-Kanto and no named illustration is guaranteed.

     Box Hunt — Traditional Chinese regional packs

     ResearchRecorded 2026-09-07
     Traditional Chinese Abyss Eye M5, probable Nihil Zero M3 and Night Wanderer SV6a use five-card ordinary packs; their photographed prices are unreadable. Regional launch dates are 5 June 2026, 6 February 2026 and 21 June 2024, respectively 3 months 2 days, 7 months 1 day and 2 years 2 months 17 days before 7 September 2026. These are separate from Japanese and Simplified Chinese editions.
     Regional official specifications were checked on 7 September using 4 September photographs. Nihil Zero's visual match remains probable. Separate PLUS or gift contents do not belong to these ordinary individual packs, and Japanese dates or card values cannot be substituted.

     Box Hunt's posted loose-pack policy — what it does and does not show

     ObservationRecorded 2026-09-04
     The photographed notice says a fresh box is opened when the current box has five packs or fewer. Requesting earlier opening requires buying the remaining old-box packs first. Self-selection is allowed, but back inspection or filtering is prohibited.
     Notice observed 4 September 2026 and reviewed 7 September. These rules do not prove weighing, tampering, resealing or depleted hits. Ask about provenance and permitted inspection before paying. Factory-box guarantees should not automatically be transferred to one loose pack from a partial display.

     Other card franchises at Box Hunt — kept outside Pokémon comparisons

     ObservationRecorded 2026-09-04
     Readable 4 September 2026 offers include Digimon Final Crest LM08 RM22, Disney CHRONOZ 2026 RM40, Match Attax 2025/26 RM15, Topps Premier League 2026 RM13, English-for-Asia Digimon EX12 RM19, One Piece OP16 RM45 and EB03 RM48, and Hololive RM20 with its exact set hidden. CookieRun RM9 and Ultraman RM12 tags are apparent rather than firm.
     Different rear Ultraman stock and cropped One Piece OP14-EB04 were not merged into the front offers. Other One Piece, Dragon Ball, Digimon, Palworld, Hololive and NIKKE products have concealed details. Being outside a Pokémon guide does not mean these cards have no collector value.

     Other franchises — region and pack-size distinctions

     ResearchRecorded 2026-09-07
     Japanese Digimon Final Crest LM08 has ten cards per pack and six packs per box. Standard English EX12 has twelve cards per pack; the photographed One Piece OP16/EB03 English-for-Asia wrappers also state twelve, not the Japanese six-card format. Match Attax here is a twelve-card UEFA product, not Premier League. The matching Topps Premier League 2026 Debut packet has ten cards, not the 25-card hobby format.
     Checked 7 September 2026. Global English release dates do not automatically establish English-for-Asia launch dates; Final Crest's exact initial event release remains unresolved. The Topps packet release was 7 August 2025. Exact local Disney CHRONOZ contents, launch and realised values were not verified. No other-franchise purchase ranking or expected return was assigned.

     Pokénade, cameras and figures — merchandise rather than TCG cards

     ResearchRecorded 2026-09-07
     The Box Hunt Pokénade toy has an apparent RM249 tag, compared with Impulse's RM229 only if confirmed. The matched Takara Tomy product contains no TCG cards and released 11 October 2025, making it 10 months 27 days old on 7 September 2026. Kodak Charmera products are miniature digital cameras; 1987 is design inspiration, not their manufacture date.

     The four clarified Box Hunt offers are Temporal Forces RM35, Ascended Heroes RM75, 151 RM150 and Shrouded Fable RM45. Black Bolt is a separate RM85 offer.

     These are random English ten-card packs, not fixed-promo gifts. Black Bolt and White Flare together cover Unova; Black Bolt alone does not contain the whole region. The former RM35 Zekrom/Black Bolt association is withdrawn, without changing properly identified independent card evidence.

     Chinese Collect151 Hope, Surprise and Gathering — distinct waves

     ResearchRecorded 2026-09-07
     Box Hunt's Simplified Chinese Collect151 Hope/望 has an apparent RM80 tag, Surprise/惊 apparent RM49, and Gathering/聚 an unreadable price. Actual five- versus twenty-card formats remain unresolved. Their launch dates were 18 April 2025, 18 July 2025 and 17 October 2025, respectively 1 year 4 months 20 days, 1 year 1 month 20 days and 10 months 21 days before 7 September 2026. Each has a different Pikachu illustration printing.
     Official specifications were reviewed on 7 September; shelf observations are from 4 September. Hope's water/dragon/colorless, Surprise's grass/psychic/darkness and Gathering's fire/lightning/fighting emphasis concerns relative weighting of Poké Ball/Master Ball-pattern cards, not every foil rarity or personal pull odds. Journey170 prices do not value these different Pikachu cards. Separate coin sets and gifts also require their own fixed-versus-random contents checks.

     How to interpret the completed comparison

     JudgementRecorded 2026-09-07
     There is no overall winning shop: compare the exact language, edition, format, condition and dated availability. English 151 bundles were RM849 at both Impulse and Box Hunt. Japanese regional gifts supply fixed Pikachu artwork and no boosters. The apparent same-edition Chinese Tactics price difference needs barcode and current-price confirmation. Exact singles control which card is received, not resale profit. Uncertain packs, editions and non-card merchandise are discussed without fabricated scores.
     This is the author's interpretation of the completed photo review, not an independent market score. No new currency conversion, expected opening return or appreciation forecast is established.

These fail the minimum. Arcanine's ambiguous BOX2-title row is excluded; accepting it without clarification would determine eligibility. Other named card leads outside this bounded common-window audit have no v2 total. The audit covers22 exact printings,16 eligible; it is not a census of every possible card in the photographed sets.
     Zero admitted records is not zero demand. Different-language prices, grades and historical asks cannot fill a missing sample. Japanese Mew, Tohoku Pikachu and Chinese Gem2 Eevee qualify under the same minimum as English cards.

     Malaysian store prices — product units and value ordering

     ResearchRecorded 2026-09-07
     The price column maps each researched exact card to representative related-product offers photographed on 4 September 2026 at IOI City Mall. These are pack, deck or gift-box asking prices, not individual-card quotes or confirmed current stock. Random possible pulls are not guaranteed; fixed promos are explicitly named. The purchase tables expose store and RM price separately and sort descending by the unchanged value score within each buying goal. Price fairness uses that displayed store offer against its documented exact-unit Malaysian comparison, with the existing 50/30/20 weights; it does not divide a chase-card price by a pack price. Representative offers are not an exhaustive cheapest-offer search.
     Presentation revision requested 7 September. No new sales, price refresh, weight change or score change. A product-price link does not make an unscored purchase eligible; the independent-benchmark gate still applies.

     Pocketmart photo coverage and deduplication

     CalculationRecorded 2026-09-16
     The five photos contain 40 fully visible menu occurrences across 38 distinct slots. Deduplicating repeats leaves 24 priced Pokémon offers: 18 single packs, two three-pack bundles and four pictured boxes, plus one sold-out unidentified tin and nine other-game or merchandise offers. Combined research now covers 26 photos across four reader-identified locations.
     Repeated slots do not establish remaining inventory. The original 21 photographs were taken on 4 September.

     The photo intake added 24 offer records without a new exact-card transaction dataset or numerical score. Historical version-two collector results retain their 24 August–6 September window. A full current rerank requires one comparable refreshed window; a wrapper or pack price cannot establish the most-sought-after card.

     ResearchRecorded 2026-09-16
     Purchase-score revision 3, assessed 19 September 2026. Availability contributes no points, penalty or eligibility gate. Prices remain dated 4–7 September observations; this is not a September-19 price refresh. For each scored SKU use the lowest documented independent Malaysian asking comparison within that retained window, matching language, quantity and sealed product format. A sold-out, backorder or preorder offer remains valid price evidence; never assume it can be purchased. A superseded price from the same seller, uncertain variant/quantity, self-comparison, hypothetical multipack sum, or price evidence outside the window is not a comparable benchmark. No checkout or copy authentication is implied. All contents/risk inputs for previously scored offers remain unchanged; additions use the same documented anchors. Card-worth scores and sale sample remain unchanged.
     19 September correction; retained September4–7 price evidence, no new stock check. Historical v2 scoring is archived.

     Remaining purchase exclusions

     ResearchRecorded 2026-09-19, 2026-09-04
     Availability alone no longer withholds a purchase score. Japanese151, Gem2, First Partner S2/S3, Kangaskhan, Ninetales and Chaos Rising PC now have dated eligible benchmarks. Prismatic eight-tin display remains unscored because the comparison does not establish eight tins; Chinese starter hangers have unmatched variants/units; Eevee & Friends has only a same-seller voucher-dependent comparison; Gardevoir and the apparent Fukuoka RM1119 tag remain uncertain. The old Japanese151 RM800 ten-month cache, stale Gem2 RM380 August-delivery cache and undated Gameshop Tohoku RM676 lead do not meet the common dated evidence rule. They are not rejected for being sold out. Later Pocketmart observations remain a separate September-16 price exercise and do not mix into this retained September4–7 scorecard.

     Exact-card availability filter scope

     ResearchRecorded 2026-09-19, 2026-09-07
     All 27 exact-card entries across the two guides have Malaysia availability status unknown, in_stock null, checked_on 2026-09-07. This date identifies the retained research assessment, not a new stock verification. Pack, gift-box, foreign single-card ask and reported-sale evidence do not establish orderable Malaysian stock of each exact single printing and condition. The filter therefore classifies them as unavailable or unconfirmed; all scores remain visible by default. Separate purchase tables show all dated pack and box offers and buying caveats.
     Unknown does not mean proven unavailable. No new local stock search.
