About Star Birth

Star Birth introduced the Pokémon VSTAR mechanic, with powerful once-per-game VSTAR Powers, and is led by the Legendary Pokémon Arceus VSTAR. Its alternate art and Character Rare cards are highly collected, and it became the English Brilliant Stars expansion in February 2022.

The Sword & Shield era of the Pokémon Trading Card Game ran in Japan from 2019 to early 2023, based on the Galar region. It introduced Pokémon V, VMAX and later VSTAR, along with character rare and alternate art cards that are now some of the most collected cards ever made.

Why buy a Japanese booster box?

Japanese booster boxes are a favourite with collectors in the UK. Japanese cards are famous for their print quality and sharp centring, the packs are smaller and cheaper per pack, and Japanese sets often release months before the English version, so you can chase the illustration rares first.

Please note that all cards in this box are printed in Japanese. They are genuine Pokémon cards made by The Pokémon Company in Japan, and they are great for collecting, grading and display.

We check the seal and condition of every box before it is listed, and we pack it with care. If you have a question about a particular product, our team is happy to help before you order, so you can buy with confidence.
