Fukuoka Pride: A New Hub for TCG Fans

In June 2025, Pokémon Center Fukuoka reopened at Hakata Marui (a trendy fashion hub in Kyushu). More than just a store, it’s a tribute to local culture, featuring a brand-new Pokémon Card Station.

The “Special BOX” Hype: Artist Collabs & Cultural Roots

To mark the occasion, the “Special BOX Pokémon Center Fukuoka” was launched. The star of the show is the “Fukuoka’s Pikachu” promo card, illustrated by the renowned artist Nelnal. The art features traditional Hakata Dontaku festival motifs, including the iconic shamoji (wooden rice scoops), making it a high-art piece for global collectors.

Market Watch: The February 2026 Surge

While initially released in 2025, the market is currently exploding since the September 2025 raffle restock—Japan’s fair-play system to combat bots—is finally being delivered to winners as of February 2026.

As these boxes hit the secondary market, trading volume has hit an all-time high. Despite an original MSRP of only 2,090 JPY, the box is now commanding a staggering 30,000+ JPY on the resale market. For collectors of the Scarlet & Violet era, this regional exclusive has officially reached “Grail” status.

Market Snapshot:

• Original Price: 2,090 JPY – 13.60USD
• Current Market Value: 30,000 JPY- 191.80USD (as of 26th Feb)
