Pokémon TCG: Sword & Shield – Brilliant Stars Is Out Today

It's time, Pokémon TCG collectors and players. Today, the ninth main series Sword & Shield expansion will have its wide release. That means that you will be able to find Sword & Shield – Brilliant Stars booster packs in various products at big box retailers and hobby shops alike. The past few weeks have seen a tiered rollout of this Arceus and Charizard-themed expansion, with prerelease weekend allowing participating retailers to sell Build & Battle boxes with four packs of the new set two weeks ago. Then, this past Monday, the Pokémon TCG began to allow tournament-official hobby shops to begin selling booster boxes of Sword & Shield – Brilliant Stars. This is seen as a defense to give smaller businesses a chance to sell the set during the week when big box retailers are known for breaking shelf date and selling early. Now, the wide release has come.

Here are the various Pokémon TCG: Sword & Shield – Brilliant Stars products:

• Sword & Shield – Brilliant Stars booster box: These contain 36 booster packs and are only sold at hobby shops.
