Delta Reign in Europe: ETB from 355 zł, boosters from €5

The English Delta Reign Elite Trainer Box starts at 355 zł in Polish shops, but 12 cheaper listings (from 279 zł) are already marked unavailable. A single booster starts at 22 zł, almost what a booster costs inside the display (21.64 zł). In Germany, none of the 35 German-edition listings is orderable (as of 22 Oct 2026, per CardPulse).

This report covers the European side of the preorder: the cost per booster, how prices have moved since our 19 October report, and who gains from ordering now versus waiting. We leave US prices out on purpose. They say little about what you will pay in Poland or Germany.

Poland: ETB from 355 zł, but 12 cheaper listings are gone

The Delta Reign Elite Trainer Box starts at 355 zł in Poland, with a median of 379.48 zł across 12 shops. At the same time, 12 listings priced between 279 zł and 349.95 zł are marked unavailable.

Data: CardPulse, English edition, shops in Poland, 22 Oct 2026; chart: lowest orderable daily price, 5–22 Oct 2026.

We saw the same pattern on 19 October and it has held. The "from 279 zł" prices you may find in a search engine cannot be bought. Our hypothesis is that shops opened preorders at a lower price, sold through that allocation and listed the next batch higher. The data only shows the status of each offer, not the reason.

The chart opens at 404.16 zł (5 Oct), drops to 386.96 zł (10 Oct) and has sat at 369.99 zł since 14 October. The 355 zł offer on the 22 October list had not yet reached the daily chart record.

Several Polish shops write limits straight into the product name: 1 per person for the display and ETB, 2 ETBs, 4 blisters. A limit suggests the shop expects more demand than its allocation. It tells you nothing about where the price goes after release.

Tip: When you compare prices, always check whether an offer is orderable. The lowest number in a list often belongs to a product you can no longer buy, and the gap between "from 279 zł" and a real 355 zł is 76 zł.

Single boosters from 22 zł, almost as cheap as the display

A single Delta Reign booster costs from 22 zł in Poland, with a median of 25 zł across 10 shops. Inside the display a booster works out to 21.64 zł, only 1.6% less, while the ETB comes to 39.44 zł per booster, 1.82 times as much.

Data: CardPulse, cheapest orderable offer in Poland, 22 Oct 2026; Germany: CardPulse (22 Oct 2026), Pokémon Center and RRP per mydealz (15 Oct 2026). Price per booster = product price / number of boosters.

The lowest single-booster price fell from 29.84 zł (5–13 Oct, one offer) to 23.99 zł from 14 October, a 19.6% drop, with 5 offers on 22 October. The 22 zł offer on the list had not yet reached the daily chart. If you only want to open a few packs, you do not need a whole display to pay a fair price.

Price per booster is only half the picture, because pricier products add something. Contents per pokelix.eu (17 Oct 2026):

• Display. 36 boosters of 10 cards each, plus a Pokémon TCG Live code. No promo, no accessories. An 18-booster version also exists.
• Elite Trainer Box. 9 boosters, a holographic Kyogre promo (MEP 117), 65 sleeves and accessories. In Poland you pay 17.80 zł more per booster than in the display, so the ETB makes sense if you want Kyogre or the storage box.
• 3-pack blister. 3 boosters and a Seel promo (MEP 116). At 79 zł that is 26.33 zł per booster, only 4.69 zł more than the display, plus the promo.
• Booster Bundle. 6 boosters, no extras. At 179 zł it works out to 29.83 zł per booster, but with only 2 orderable offers that is not yet a market price.
• Checklane blister. 1 booster and a Spritzee promo (MEP 115). We have no reliable orderable price for it yet.

For players who want lots of cards quickly, the display gives the best value, followed by the 3-pack blister. Promo collectors can start with blisters: the extra cost per booster is small and you get an extra card.

Poland: display from 779 zł, orderable in 13 shops

The cheapest orderable English display in Poland costs 779 zł (21.64 zł per booster), and the median across 13 shops is 799.95 zł. On 18 October the cheapest orderable offer was 799 zł, so the entry price has dropped 20 zł, or 2.5%.

Data: CardPulse, English edition, shops in Poland, cheapest orderable offer per shop, 22 Oct 2026; chart: lowest daily price, 5–22 Oct 2026. A 6-display case (4,999.99 zł) and a 0.01 zł placeholder price are excluded.

The price history steps down slowly. The first record on 5 October was 988.96 zł with a single offer, then 849 zł on 8 October, 799 zł on 13 October and 785 zł from 20 October. The daily low on the chart (785 zł) differs from the offer list, where a shop at 779 zł appeared on 22 October. That is expected: the list shows the moment it was read, while the chart stores one value per day.

How many shops actually accept orders matters more than the minimum. Two listings sit below 779 zł (729 zł and 729.99 zł), but both are marked unavailable. Orderable prices range from 779 zł to 899.99 zł, a gap of 120.99 zł for the same box.

Germany: Top Trainer Box from €55, nothing orderable

The German edition ("Delta-Herrschaft") Top Trainer Box is listed from €55 and single boosters from €5.00, close to the €4.99 RRP, but all 35 German-edition listings in the shops CardPulse tracks are marked not orderable. At the Pokémon Center the Top Trainer Box sold out within minutes; the display was €165.99 against a €179.64 RRP (per mydealz).

Data: CardPulse, German edition, shops in Germany, 22 Oct 2026; Pokémon Center and RRP per mydealz.de (15 Oct 2026). mydealz does not name a source for the RRP.

• Pokémon Center Germany. Preorders opened on 13 October at around 17:30. The Top Trainer Box and the Booster Bundle sold out within minutes, while the display was still available with a limit of two per order (mydealz, 15 Oct 2026).
• Shop prices. Six shops list the German display between €169.99 and €279.90, with a median of €184.88, 2.9% above the RRP.
• Other German products. Top Trainer Box from €55 (3 shops up to €79.90), Booster Bundle €29.99–€39.99 (5 shops), single booster €5.00–€5.99, 3-pack blister €18.50–€24.90.

Why is nothing orderable? We have two hypotheses. Shops may have sold their preorder allocation, or they may flag preorders as unavailable until stock arrives. The data cannot settle this, and we will check again after 6 November.

English edition in Germany: ETB €89, booster €6.94

If you want English cards in Germany, the Elite Trainer Box costs at least €89 on Cardmarket, down from €93.99 on 5 October (−5.3%), and a single booster €6.94. The display fell from €229.99 to €209 over the same period (−9.1%).

Data: CardPulse, English edition, offers for Germany, lowest available daily price, 5–22 Oct 2026; only 1–2 offers per day, almost all from Cardmarket.

That makes the English edition clearly more expensive in Germany than the German one. The English display on Cardmarket costs 13% more than the German-edition median (€184.88) and 25.9% more than the Pokémon Center price (€165.99). The gap is wider for single boosters: €6.94 for English versus a €4.99 RRP for German, 39% more.

The smaller English products follow the same pattern. The Booster Bundle is €43.90 on Cardmarket (€7.32 per booster) and the 3-pack blister €22.98 (€7.66 per booster). Only one German shop lists the English edition with a price, and nothing there is orderable either.

Dates: prerelease from 24 October, release on 6 November 2026

Delta Reign reaches shops on Friday, 6 November 2026, and prerelease events run from 24 October to 1 November. The release date is confirmed by Pokémon; the prerelease dates come from pokelix.eu and TCGplayer.

Data: pokemon.com (announcement of 20 Aug 2026), pokelix.eu (17 Oct 2026), CardPulse release calendar.

1. 24 October. Prerelease starts. Participating stores sell the Build & Battle Box (4 boosters and a ready-to-play 40-card deck). On Cardmarket a single English Build & Battle Box costs €55.
2. 29 October. An example from Poland: at least one shop sells prerelease entry for that day at 125 zł.
3. 1 November. Prerelease ends.
4. 5 November. The set arrives in Pokémon TCG Live.
5. 6 November. Retail release; displays, ETBs, bundles and blisters ship.

Delta Reign is the English counterpart of the Japanese set Storm Emeralda, released on 31 July 2026. It has over 135 cards, more than 35 of them with special illustrations, and Mega Rayquaza ex leads the set. The card list and background are in our Delta Reign set guide.

Preorder now or wait? It depends on what you buy for

The data gives no single answer: the English display in Poland is down 21.2% since 5 October (988.96 zł → 779 zł), but the cheapest ETB offers are gone, German-edition stock is not orderable and some shops set limits. This is not investment advice, just the facts in order.

The previous set offers one reference point. The 30th Celebration ETB got 11.9% cheaper in Poland over five weeks after release, as we showed in our 18 October report. That was an anniversary set with a very high starting price, though, so we do not apply the number to Delta Reign.

• Players. Want to play from release day? A prerelease and the Build & Battle Box get cards into your hands first. The display can wait: 13 Polish shops have it orderable, and the price has hovered around 779–799 zł for a week.
• Collectors. After the Kyogre promo? The ETB carries more risk than the display: 12 cheaper Polish listings are gone, and the German Top Trainer Box sold out at the Pokémon Center within minutes. If 355–380 zł works for you, waiting gains little and may cost you availability.
• Sealed buyers. Price per unit and box condition matter most. The 120.99 zł gap between the cheapest and the dearest orderable display is bigger than the drop since 18 October (20 zł). Choosing the right shop saves more today than waiting for a fall.

One asymmetry applies to everyone. If you wait and the display drops another 2–3%, you save 16–23 zł in Poland. If you wait and offers disappear like the cheaper ETBs did, you may pay more than today or buy on worse terms.

How to preorder Delta Reign without overpaying: 6 steps

You save most by comparing only orderable offers and setting a price alert, not by chasing the lowest number in a search engine. This order limits risk without a bet on where prices go:

1. Pick the edition. English for tournaments and international collections, German if you collect German cards. Compare offers in the same language only.
2. Pick the product for your goal. Many cards: display or blisters. Kyogre promo: ETB. Small budget: 3-pack blister at 79 zł.
3. Work out the price per booster. A 779 zł display is 21.64 zł per pack, a 355 zł ETB is 39.44 zł. The difference pays for the promo and accessories.
4. Filter for orderable offers. On the Delta Reign display prices and ETB prices pages, check the status before you compare numbers.
5. Set a price alert. With a free account you set a target price and get a notification under the bell when an offer reaches it.
6. Check again after release. From 6 November the price history shows whether the low falls and how many shops have stock.

For smaller purchases, see the prices for blisters and the Booster Bundle. Bundle offers are still too few to call a market price.

What we do not know yet

The biggest unknown is supply after 6 November: we do not know how much stock Polish and German shops will receive, or whether preorder allocations were small or simply sold fast. No pre-release data can show that.

• Official pull rates. Pokémon does not publish them, and estimates from the Japanese set do not carry over to English boosters with a different card count.
• Single card prices. Before release they follow the Japanese market and swing widely. We do not use them as a benchmark for Europe.
• Booster Bundle in Poland. Two orderable offers are too few to judge the price.
• Why the German edition is unavailable. Sold-out allocations or the way shops flag preorders; we will check after release.

We will come back to Delta Reign in the week after release with the same measures: cheapest orderable offer, median and number of shops, separately for Poland and Germany.
