How to order the Pokémon TCG 30th Anniversary set: subscribe and receive your code

If you've been waiting weeks for the 30th-anniversary set, this concerns you: we already know how we are going to pre-order Pokémon 30th anniversary at Collectowny, and this time we're doing it differently. The pre-order for 30th Anniversary Celebration will work with unique codes only for subscribers. No code, no pre-order, and the code only arrives one way: our newsletter. We explain the system step by step so that September 16 doesn't catch you off guard.

Why this time pre-orders are different

Anyone who experienced Celebrations in 2021 already knows what happens with anniversary sets: stock disappears in hours, and weeks later, the product sells for double on the secondary market. With 30th Anniversary Celebration, everything comes together: simultaneous global launch, all cards in foil, 30 Pikachu variants, and the Classic Collection with the Base Set Charizard. Demand will be insane, and the stock allocation we receive as stores is limited.

That's why we've decided to prioritize our real community: those who follow us, read us, and open packs with us. No bots or resellers emptying the website in minutes. Pre-orders will be for subscribers only.

The set packs: 5 guaranteed holographic cards in each.

How the code system works, in 3 steps

• 1. Subscribe now via the pop-up you'll see when you enter collectowny.com or, without leaving this article, in the form below. It's free and takes ten seconds.
• 2. Before each wave, you'll receive the newsletter with your unique reservation code. Pay attention to this: the code DOES NOT arrive when you subscribe; it arrives with the newsletter preceding each wave.
• 3. Use that code when reserving your product on the website, and that's it: your reservation is secured before we open to the general public.

Each wave will have its own code, so being on the list means receiving early access to all four product batches, from September to November.

Reservation Wave Calendar

The anniversary arrives in waves, and reservations will open at the same pace:

• September 16: set packs (within their products), Elite Trainer Box, and Booster Bundle.
• October 2: Binder Collection and the Day and Night Mini Tins, whose Unown spell ANNIVERSARY when all 10 tins are put together.
• October 30: Espeon ex and Umbreon ex Battle Decks, 60-card all-holographic decks.
• November 6: Ultra-Premium Collection, the only guaranteed way in the West to get the Classic Collection.

Dates may be subject to distribution changes, but we will notify via newsletter of any movements. If you want the complete breakdown of products, promos, and revealed cards, you can find it in our 30th Anniversary Celebration set guide.

What you gain by being on the list

Subscribing does not obligate you to buy anything. What it gives you is the option to decide calmly while others rush:

• Early access to each wave before general opening.
• Store price, without reseller surprises. See how the Pokémon Day 2026 Special Collection, the first commemorative box for the anniversary, is already doing.
• Notification of every movement: date changes, new reveals, and opening of pre-orders for Pokémon and One Piece.

Our opinion at Collectowny

From collector to collector: don't wait for the reservation to open to subscribe. The smart move is to sign up today, calmly receive the code for the first wave, and then decide what to pre-order. If you're torn between products, our short recommendation: the Elite Trainer Box is the best balance of the first wave, the Mini Tins are the perfect gift, and if you're serious about the Classic Collection, the Ultra-Premium Collection in November is your goal and will be the most sought-after of all. You can find the entire game catalog in our Pokémon section.

Frequently Asked Questions

When do I receive the reservation code?

With the newsletter preceding each wave. It does not arrive at the moment you subscribe: it arrives when we open reservations for that batch of products.

Does subscribing cost anything or obligate me to buy?

No. Subscription is free and without commitment. The code only gives you early access; whether or not you use it is up to you.

Can I reserve without a code?

Early reservation is exclusive to subscribers. If there is stock left after that phase, we will open to the general public, but with a set like this, don't count on much being left over.

What if I subscribe after the first wave has passed?

You will receive codes for subsequent waves. Each batch has its own code, so it's never too late, but the sooner you join, the more options you have.

Don't let them tell you about it. Leave us your email below and let the code arrive on its own. September 16 marks the start of the Pokémon TCG 30th-anniversary party, and no one wants to miss it.
