30th Celebration at The Cardhub Australia

Some retailers sell the 5-pack version of these tins from 6 November (see Wave 4); this December date is the 4-pack version. EB Games also lists a Mega Forces Tin for 4 December. The Binder Collection was also originally slated for this wave, but Big W shipped it early in Australia alongside the Wave 1 launch on 16 September - it is not part of this December release here.

Products: Sylveon ex Tin, Greninja ex Tin (4-pack version at some retailers), Mega Forces Tin (listed by EB Games)

Delayed from 6 November. Toymate told pre-order customers 13 November 2026 (supplier delay in production and supply), and EB Games lists the same date. Other retailers are expected to reflect the new date, likely a supplier or distributor delay. Pre-order update, 23 September 2026: Kmart listed the Ultra-Premium Collections online, but bot traffic overwhelmed the listing and no genuine customer using a standard browser could complete a purchase. Update, 2 November 2026: Target has also now sold out its online pre-order allocation, leaving Big W as the only major retailer yet to sell the Ultra-Premium Collections online. Unconfirmed reports suggest Big W may skip an online pre-order for this product altogether, citing IT issues and ongoing bot and scalper activity, and instead push its allocation to in-store release - possibly weighted toward Queensland stores, similar to how the Focused Fighters Premium Collection played out on 30 October. Treat this as a rumour until Big W confirms one way or the other. Pokemon Center AU has not made this release available to Australian customers at all.

Products: Ultra-Premium Collection (Day & Night)

Delayed from 6 November. Toymate told pre-order customers: "Our supplier has informed us of an unexpected delay with production and the supply of stock to Toymate. As a result, the release date has now been moved to 20-Nov-26." EB Games also lists both products for 20 November 2026. Expect other retailers to follow.

Products: Ditto Premium Collection, Figure Collection (Mew & Mewtwo)

EB Games lists the 5 Booster Tin for 6 November 2026, the original Wave 4 date. It is the only Wave 4 product still on that date. This is the 5-pack version of the Sylveon ex / Greninja ex tin sold by some retailers; other retailers sell the 4-pack version on 4 December (Wave 5).

Products: 5 Booster Tin (Sylveon ex / Greninja ex, 5-pack version)

Shares its release date with the Ascended Heroes: Focused Fighters Premium Collection (see the ME2.5 entry below), which is not a 30th Celebration product but lands at Australian retail on the same day.

Products: Battle Deck (Espeon ex), Battle Deck (Umbreon ex)

Products: Booster Bundle, Mini Tins (10 artwork variants)

The first simultaneous worldwide Pokemon TCG launch, with no staggered international release. Big W shipped the Binder Collection in Australia from this date too, despite reports of a December (Wave 5) delay overseas - that delay did not apply here.
