Pokemon 30th Celebration Futuristic Box Guide: Pikachu ex FUR Promos

The Pokemon Card Game MEGA 30th Celebration FUTURISTIC BOX is the premium supply product in Japan’s 30th Celebration lineup. Per the official product page, it released on September 16, 2026 at ¥27,500 tax included, built around YOSHIROTTEN-designed play supplies plus two FUR-specification Pikachu ex promo cards. The official card list for the wider M6a expansion, whose FUR cards share the promos’ design lane, was published on September 9, 2026. The FUTURISTIC BOX is sold out at our store at the time of this update — restock requests go through Quick Order — and the M6a booster box is the buyable 30th Celebration box (see Where to Buy).

The most important buyer point is simple: this is not a booster box and the official contents list does not include booster packs. The FUTURISTIC BOX is a collector-supply box. You are buying the two Pikachu ex FUR promos, the coordinated play accessories, the box design, and the 30th anniversary product identity.

What Is the 30th Celebration FUTURISTIC BOX?

FUTURISTIC BOX is a premium battle-supply and display package created for Pokemon Card Game’s 30th anniversary. The official page says the product incorporates the design of graphic artist YOSHIROTTEN. That matters because the same official page connects the two Pikachu ex promos to the FUR cards in the main 30th Celebration expansion, including Mew ex and Mewtwo ex, whose illustrations are also credited to YOSHIROTTEN.

The product is expensive compared with the rest of the 30th Celebration lineup, but it is also structurally different. The ¥360 booster pack is the opening product. The Premium Deck Set is the Espeon/Umbreon deck product. The October Card Set is the starter-promo product with two booster packs. FUTURISTIC BOX is the high-end supply product anchored by two exclusive Pikachu ex promos.

The Two Pikachu ex FUR Promo Cards

The headline card contents are two different FUR-specification Pikachu ex promo cards, one of each per the official contents list. The official product page describes them as Pikachu ex promos illustrated by YOSHIROTTEN, and the two promo images on the page are filed under the promo numbers 131 and 132 in the official image filenames; SNKRDUNK lists them as 131/M-P and 132/M-P. From a collector standpoint, the two-card pair is more important than either card alone because it gives the FUTURISTIC BOX a self-contained chase identity.

Lowest SNKRDUNK Asks for the Promos, as of September 30, 2026

SNKRDUNK lists each promo twice, once with the pack unopened and once opened. The figures below are the lowest asking prices on the product pages at 20:55 JST on September 30, 2026. They are asks, not sold prices, and they moved several times during that evening.

Why the FUR Pikachu ex Pair Matters

The FUR label is the reason FUTURISTIC BOX feels different from a normal promo accessory product. Pokemon anniversary products often become collectible because they combine three signals: a major character, a special visual treatment, and a product structure that is easy to explain years later. FUTURISTIC BOX has all three. Pikachu is the headline character, FUR is the new 30th Celebration visual lane, and the product name itself tells future buyers exactly what it was.

The official page also makes the artist link explicit. It says the Pikachu ex promos are illustrated by YOSHIROTTEN, like the FUR Mew ex and Mewtwo ex in the 30th Celebration expansion, and the M6a pack page introduces FUR (Futuristic Rare) as a new rarity. That creates a small internal set: Mew ex, Mewtwo ex, and the two Pikachu ex promos can be viewed together as the YOSHIROTTEN/FUR collector lane of the anniversary. Even if a buyer never opens booster packs, the FUTURISTIC BOX gives that buyer a direct route into the same design story. For the main-set side of that lane, SNKRDUNK’s lowest asks as of September 30, 2026 were ¥7,900 for Mew ex FUR 135/103 and ¥6,000 for Mewtwo ex FUR 134/103.

Official Supply Checklist

The second half of the product is the coordinated supply set. The official page lists special deck shields, a flip deck case, a special rubber playmat, a flip playmat case, damage dice, damage counter storage, poison/burn markers, Pokemon coins, and a display frame. This is why the product should be evaluated as a premium desk/display kit rather than a normal sealed Pokemon TCG box.

Component-by-Component Buyer Notes

The official list is long, but not every component carries the same collector importance. The two promos are the card value center. The playmat and deck case are the visible supply center. The dice, coins, markers, and cases complete the premium kit, but they are easier to lose if the box is opened. If you buy an opened FUTURISTIC BOX later, completeness is the first thing to check.

The display frame is especially important because it explains how Pokemon wants the product to be used. This is not only a tournament supply box; it is a desk-display product. The two Pikachu ex promos plus a display frame create a straightforward opened-box use case: keep the cards visible, store the supplies together, and maintain the box as part of the product identity.

For SST buyers, the practical rule is to decide your box status before shipping: sealed archive, opened display, or component split. Mixing those strategies creates avoidable damage. A sealed archive should stay protected. An opened display should be opened carefully and documented. A component split should be photographed before anything is separated.

Price Logic: Why ¥27,500 Is a Different Decision

¥27,500 tax included makes FUTURISTIC BOX the premium item in the official 30th Celebration product lineup. That price should not be compared only to booster packs because the product is not pack-based. The better comparison is whether you value a complete anniversary supply set plus two Pikachu ex FUR promos enough to buy the whole package at retail.

For a sealed collector, the attraction is the intact product: box, promos, accessories, and official 30th branding all together. For an opener, the attraction is practical use: sleeves, playmat, cases, dice, coins, markers, display frame, and the two cards. For a singles-only buyer, the product may be too broad, because the supplies come with the promos whether or not they are wanted.

On SNKRDUNK, the lowest asking price for a sealed FUTURISTIC BOX was ¥62,900 as of September 30, 2026 (product page, 20:55 JST). Earlier the same day, at 14:32 JST, the lowest SNKRDUNK ask was ¥59,900. Both figures are seller asks, not sold prices, and the official price is ¥27,500.

Who Should Buy FUTURISTIC BOX First?

The FUTURISTIC BOX has a narrower but more premium audience than a normal booster box. It fits best for people who specifically want the complete Pikachu/YOSHIROTTEN package.

Japan Sales Channel and Handling Notes

The official page says this product is handled by Pokemon Center Online only. It also says the product may later be handled at Pokemon Centers and Pokemon Stores nationwide. That wording matters: later handling is possible, but the page does not promise it.

For overseas buyers, the practical route to a sealed FUTURISTIC BOX after the Pokemon Center Online launch is a reseller or an export shop. Compare the lowest asks above with the official ¥27,500 price, and check how the seller protects the box before paying a premium.

Pokemon Center Online’s additional lottery covering the FUTURISTIC BOX ran September 11, 16:00 – September 16, 16:59 JST, per SNKRDUNK’s lottery roundup (September 9, 2026); the official pages print no lottery dates.

The M6a box is the sealed route into the expansion whose FUR cards the promos share; its card list is on the 30th CELEBRATION (M6a) card list.

Buying Decision Tree After Release

Because the FUTURISTIC BOX is expensive and channel-limited, a plan helps. The worst approach is to decide only after seeing a premium ask. Decide which result you are willing to accept: retail box, premium sealed box, singles, or no purchase. That prevents paying a sealed-box premium when the real goal was only the cards.

For overseas buyers, shipping, proxy fees, and packaging quality can change the effective price more than the raw premium. A cheap listing with poor shipping protection is not cheap if the box arrives crushed. A more expensive seller who protects the outer box may be the better sealed-collector route.

FUTURISTIC BOX vs Other 30th Celebration Products

The 30th Celebration lineup has several products that sound similar but serve different buyers. The FUTURISTIC BOX is the premium supply product. The booster pack is the opening product. The Premium Deck Set is the Espeon/Umbreon deck product. The October Card Set is the starter-promo plus two-pack product.

If your 30th Celebration budget is limited, the cleanest order is: boosters for opening, Card Set for starter promos, Premium Deck Set for Eeveelutions, and the FUTURISTIC BOX for high-end Pikachu/supply collecting. The Premium Deck Set Espeon & Umbreon and the Card Set are sold out at our store at the time of this update — restock requests go through Quick Order. The FUTURISTIC BOX is not meant to be the cheapest route into the anniversary set.

How FUTURISTIC BOX Fits a 30th Celebration Collection

A complete 30th Celebration plan can be built in layers. The first layer is the main expansion, because it carries the core anniversary card list and the FUR rarity debut. The second layer is the sealed product lineup, because the booster, Premium Deck Set, FUTURISTIC BOX, and Card Set each represent a different part of the anniversary. The third layer is promo completion, where the 27 starter promos and the two Pikachu ex FUR promos become separate goals.

FUTURISTIC BOX belongs to the premium layer. It is not required for every collector, but it gives the collection a centerpiece. If you imagine a shelf or display case, the booster box and packs are compact, the starter Card Sets are colorful and character-driven, and FUTURISTIC BOX is the large visual product that announces the YOSHIROTTEN/FUR theme.

If budget forces a choice, pick the product that matches your collection identity. A booster opener does not need the FUTURISTIC BOX first. A Pikachu collector should look at it closely. A sealed anniversary collector can treat it as the centerpiece of the shelf. A casual buyer who only wants a 30th Celebration souvenir may be better served by the ¥1,200 Card Set.

Overseas Buyer Guide

The FUTURISTIC BOX is awkward for overseas buyers because it is larger than a normal card product and includes accessories rather than packs. Shipping cost, box protection, and outer-box condition all matter. If you buy sealed, ask how the seller will protect the corners and whether the product will be shipped inside another carton.

For collectors outside Japan, the main decision is whether to chase the sealed product or wait for the two Pikachu ex promos. Sealed is cleaner for long-term display and completion. Singles are more efficient if you do not care about the supplies. Opened accessories may also appear separately, but supply parts can be harder to keep complete because the box contains many small components.

Storage, Grading, and Display Notes

If you open FUTURISTIC BOX, sleeve both Pikachu ex promos immediately and keep all packaging, inserts, and supply wrappers together. The two promos should be treated as a pair. If you grade one and not the other, your collection becomes less coherent unless you are only chasing a single artwork.

If you keep the box sealed, protect it like a premium sealed accessory product rather than a booster box. The surface area is larger, corners matter, and shelf rub can reduce the appeal of the box art. For display, avoid direct sunlight because the product uses vivid gradient colors that are part of its identity.

Signals to Track After Release

The useful signals after release are supply, opening behavior, singles availability, and whether collectors treat the two promos as a pair. If many boxes stay sealed, promo singles may remain thin. If many boxes are opened, individual supply pieces may appear on the market separately.

The lowest asks in this update are snapshots as of September 30, 2026, not a price trend. The conservative read is to treat the FUTURISTIC BOX as a premium product with collector appeal and to compare any ask with the official ¥27,500 price.

Bottom Line

The 30th Celebration FUTURISTIC BOX is the premium supply product of the 30th Celebration lineup. It is not the product to buy if you only want pack volume. It is the product to buy if the combination of two Pikachu ex FUR promos, YOSHIROTTEN-designed supplies, and a high-end 30th anniversary box fits your collection.

The practical answer: do not confuse the box with a booster product, and decide whether you are a sealed-box collector, a Pikachu promo collector, or a supply user. Those are three different buying strategies, and the FUTURISTIC BOX only makes full sense when your strategy is clear.
