MEGA Dream ex Card Prices in Japan: Mega Gengar ex SAR at ¥44,800

MEGA Dream ex (MEGAドリームex) is the Japanese high class pack that went on sale on November 28, 2025, and if you are pricing its chase cards from overseas, you need the yen numbers a Tokyo shop actually posts. On October 22, 2026, the top single is the SAR Mega Gengar ex at ¥44,800 at yuyu-tei (遊々亭), the MUR Mega Dragonite ex is ¥24,800, and a sealed box is ¥13,800 at Card Rush (カードラッシュ), against an official ¥5,500. Below are the 13 singles that matter, the box numbers, and what the shop’s own buyback says about each.

How much are MEGA Dream ex cards in Japan?

Six cards cost ¥5,000 or more, and almost everything else is pocket change. yuyu-tei shows 485 separate listings for the set, because many cards come in two mirror-foil versions under the same number; 459 of those listings are ¥500 or less, and the median is ¥120.

The table is yuyu-tei’s posted 販売 (hanbai) sell price and its 買取 (kaitori) buyback price, both read from the shop’s live pages on October 22, 2026. A sell price is a shop listing, not a completed sale, and a “sold out” mark means you could not buy at that price that day. This is one large Tokyo shop; Mercari, Yahoo! Auctions and other stores keep their own numbers.

The trainer card カナリィ appears in Japanese because we could not confirm its official English card name. MA is the Mega Attack Rare, a rarity this set introduced according to the official product page. If MUR, SAR and MA are new to you, start with Japanese rarities explained.

Two things stand out. The most expensive card is an SAR, not the set’s single MUR. And Mega Gengar ex and Mega Dragonite ex each appear twice in the table, at very different prices, which matters when you read an overseas listing title (more on that below).

How much is a MEGA Dream ex booster box in Japan?

The official price is ¥5,500 for 10 packs of 10 cards. On the open market, Card Rush lists a sealed box at ¥13,800 on October 22, 2026, with 41 in stock. That is about 2.5 times list, or ¥1,380 a pack against the official ¥550.

The ¥5,500 figure is real, but it is a lottery price. Pokémon Center Online’s listing is marked 抽選販売 (chūsen hanbai, lottery sale), and it states that anyone who has already bought this box from the store loses the lottery automatically. For most collectors, and for anyone overseas, the price you can actually pay today is the shop price. The official product page itself gives ¥550 including tax, 10 cards per pack and the November 28, 2025 release date; the 10-packs-per-box count comes from the Pokémon Center Online listing. Our booster box guarantees by set table puts that configuration next to other Japanese boxes.

What does the buyback say about the top cards?

The buyback is what the shop pays with its own money, so it is the nearest thing to a floor a public page gives you. On MEGA Dream ex it splits the top cards into two groups.

The SAR Mega Gengar ex is the clearest case. The shop has none on the shelf and offers ¥32,000 to anyone who brings one in, 71% of its ask. The MUR Mega Dragonite ex, the SAR Pikachu ex and the SAR Mega Dragonite ex all sit at 48%, with 2 to 5 copies in stock. A wide gap like that usually means the shop has room to move; a narrow one with an empty shelf means it does not. None of this predicts where a price goes next, and we are not suggesting anyone buy a card to resell it. The general method for reading these two pages on any card is in how to check what a Japanese card is worth.

Should you buy a sealed box or the single?

For one named card, the single. Three Card Rush boxes (¥41,400) cost less than the Mega Gengar ex SAR’s ¥44,800 ask, but no official source tells you what is inside any box. The Pokémon Company publishes no pull rates for this set, and the official product page only says cards are inserted at random.

The pack arithmetic makes the same point from the other side. At the official ¥550, the SAR Mega Gengar ex’s ask equals 81 packs and the MUR Mega Dragonite ex’s equals 45. Even at the shop price of ¥1,380 a pack, you would need more than 32 packs of open-market product to spend what the Mega Gengar ex single costs. God packs, where nearly every card in a pack is a hit, have been reported for this set by a single compiler and are not acknowledged by The Pokémon Company; our god pack explainer covers what is and is not confirmed.

What are the official facts, and what is not confirmed?

The official product page states four things: ¥550 including tax, 10 cards per pack, random insertion, and a release date of Friday, November 28, 2025. It also says the set introduced the MA (Mega Attack Rare) rarity and includes mirror-foil cards with energy-symbol and Poké Ball patterns.

What it does not state is the box size or the card count. The box size comes from Pokémon Center Online (1 box = 10 packs). For the card count, the main numbering runs to 193, and yuyu-tei lists collector numbers up to 250/193, which would put 57 cards above the main set. The official card search returned an error when we checked on October 22, 2026, so we have not confirmed that count or any individual card’s rarity from an official page; the rarity codes in the table are yuyu-tei’s.

How do you compare an overseas listing with the Japanese price?

Search by collector number, not by name, then add your fixed costs to the yen figure. “Mega Gengar ex MEGA Dream ex” can return the MA at ¥2,480 or the SAR at ¥44,800; “240/193” returns one card.

If you want to see how the overseas market prices the same print, an eBay search for Mega Gengar ex 240/193 japanese (paid link) shows live listings to set against the ¥44,800 shop ask. Compare raw with raw and graded with graded; they are different products.

MEGA Dream ex has been on shelves for almost eleven months, so these are the prices of a settled set rather than a launch week. Read them as a description of where Tokyo shops have priced it on October 22, 2026, not as a forecast.
