Year-End Update from Japan: Shipping Schedule & High-Demand Collector Items

As of December 28, 2025, we are approaching the year-end holiday season in Japan.

While I will explain the details in a separate post, please note that FedEx’s final pickup for this year is December 29.
In Japan, many companies and households take holidays from December 30 through January 4, 2026.

We personally do not take an extended holiday and will continue operating as usual.
However, due to carrier schedules, shipping may be slightly delayed during this period.
Please rest assured that we remain fully open for business.

Today, I would like to highlight several products that have received a particularly high number of inquiries and orders recently.

  • Shipping period: Starting around December 27, 2026

This is a luxury commemorative set celebrating the 40th anniversary of Dragon Ball, the legendary work of Akira Toriyama, who sadly passed away in March 2024.

The set includes:

Interest in Dragon Ball memorabilia is currently very strong in Japan, with even government-issued commemorative coins being released.
A binder + exclusive card set of this nature is guaranteed to be highly collectible and extremely scarce.

  • Lottery period: August–September 2025

This limited set was released to celebrate the 3rd anniversary of the ONE PIECE Card Game.

It includes:

  • Premium supplies inspired by the bond and flame of the three brothers
  • Exclusive promotional cards and special DON!! cards

While 3rd Anniversary items are planned for other countries as well, the Japanese version is especially noteworthy and highly anticipated by collectors worldwide.

Serial-Numbered Nami Get Campaign

🔗 https://www.onepiece-cardgame.com/topics/106.php

  • Application period: September–November 2025

This campaign was open to players who had participated in three or more official or authorized ONE PIECE Card Game events.

Winners receive:

  • A limited serial-numbered Nami card
  • Officially stated as 1,000 copies, shipped in December 2025

Although serial numbers go up to 1,200, the official announcement lists only 1,000 units, leaving the remaining numbers unclear.
Regardless, this card is extremely rare and already trading at a premium price.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Status Card Collection (15 Types Total)

🔗 https://jumpshop-online.com/products/18041995?srsltid=AfmBOook3IMzbUrtZzLPJRoes__IH1IzWgrGXnTejBIOUzgXz2L5hWvH

This is a blind-pack style product (1 random card per pack, 15 types in total).

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba is extremely popular both in Japan and worldwide.
While these are not game cards like Pokémon or ONE PIECE, they are sold as status cards, focusing on character attributes and collectible design.

Similar to franchises such as Pokémon and ONE PIECE, these cards appeal strongly to collectors rather than players.

No detailed explanation is necessary this is a very popular high-class box with consistently strong demand.
