Pokémon TCG To Release Origin Palkia & Dialga VSTAR Collections

Were you wondering where the Full Art versions of Dialga and Palkia were in Pokémon TCG: Sword & Shield – Astral Radiance? These cards were not included in the set because they will be SWSH Black Star Promos along with alternate versions of Dialga VSTAR and Palkia VSTAR. The Pokémon TCG will release Origin Forme Dialga Premium Collection and Origin Forme Palkia Premium Collection on October 7th. These $39.99 boxes will feature a Full Art V and VSTAR Origin Forme Dialga and Palkia respectively. Each of these are brand new SWSH Black Star Promos exclusive to these boxes.

The last time we saw an Ultra-Premium Collection was the highly coveted Celebrations UPC which ended up going for exorbitantly high prices in the secondary market. Before that, the only other times we saw Ultra Premium Collections were for SWSH Zacian and Zamazenta Gold Ultra-Premium Collection as well as the Shiny Rayquaza-themed UPC for the special set Hidden Fates. Releasing October 2022.
