One Piece TCG 2027 Release Dates: EB-06, OP-19, PEB-01

The Japanese head start used to last four months. For EB-06 it is minus one day.

7 min readBy Mika Santos

Our callMark Jan 29, Mar 5 and Apr 23, but the date that decides your price is the day your local shop opens pre-orders. Japan no longer gives you months of warning.

The One Piece TCG 2027 release dates are easy to list, and one player's OP-17 pre-order shows why they are not the dates that matter. On August 13 that player told r/OnePieceTCG that their local shop had quoted $190 to $210 for an OP-17 box when they joined the pre-order list. Two weeks later, asking again, they heard $365. The date on the box is the least useful date in the story. Here are the 2027 ones anyway, then the one we would mark instead.

The 2027 dates, English and Japanese

Bandai's English product pages for the three 2027 sets went up on November 6, according to Ellvan Cards, which wrote that "The English product pages appeared on 6 November". The dates below come from those pages and from Bandai's Japanese pages, read on November 9.

Everything before them, through OP-18 on November 20, is in our October and November schedule, and the OP-18 pre-order guide has that launch's legal timing.

Two rules on those pages matter for tournament players. For OP-19, Bandai writes that its cards "will be tournament legal starting 7 days after the release date in your region", and that they are legal "from the pre-release date in your LGS". For a US player that is a March 12 start for events beyond the local shop. EB-06's page says only that cards are legal "from the pre-release date in your region", and it gives no pre-release date.

PEB-01 is a different product. The English page calls it "An all-holo premium pack" and lists a 16-card pack. The Japanese page lists 8 cards per pack. It is the first in a new Premium Extra Booster series, and at $7.99 the pack costs 1.6 times a regular $4.99 pack.

Japan's head start is gone

We lined up every English and Japanese release date on Bandai's own lists, 27 sets from OP-01 to PEB-01 (names in our OP-01 to OP-17 set list), and subtracted. OP-01 reached English players 133 days after Japan. OP-03 waited 139, the longest. Then it fell: 55 days for OP-14, 34 for OP-15, 13 for OP-16, 6 for OP-17.

The last six sets are 6, -1, -1, -1, 6 and -1. EB-05, OP-18, EB-06 and PEB-01 all hit English shelves a day before Japan's listed date; OP Box Index's table shows the same Friday and Saturday pairs. OP-19 breaks the run at 6 days. EB-03 is the reminder not to call it permanent: Japan released it on October 25, 2025 and English players got it on February 20, 2026, 118 days later.

OP Box Index reached the same conclusion for the shrinking part: "the old strategy of importing Japanese boxes before the English hype wave has less runway than it used to." For EB-06 and PEB-01 there is no runway, because English comes first; OP-19 has six days. If you wanted Japanese results to tell you what to buy in English, the first English tournament date of March 12 sits 13 days after Japan's February 27 launch.

What a pack costs

A regular English pack went from $4.19 at OP-01 to $4.49 at OP-04, then to $4.99 at OP-10, a 19% rise in all. Premium Booster sets are $5.49. EB-06 and OP-19 hold at $4.99 per pack in English and ¥240 in Japan. In the OP-17 story the pack price on the box did not change, yet one shop's quote for a box went from a $190 to $210 quote to $365 in two weeks.

The date we would mark instead

The EB-05 pre-order numbers say the real deadline comes early. On October 16, two weeks before EB-05's October 30 release, u/Specificx counted 143 US stores and found only two still taking pre-orders, with boxes from $299.99. Across six countries, "22 stores list EB05, and only 5 of them are still taking orders."

The same thread shows two different worlds. u/MrMeeseeksAdvice wrote that "Op21 preorders were like 2-3 months ago it’s ridiculous you have to, or are allowed to, preorder over a year in advance." u/Sweaty-Car-905 answered that "All the shops in Oklahoma only do maybe the next current set for pre orders", and asked where. MrMeeseeksAdvice's reply was "Generally online stores, cases being sold out boxes being sold out." Players with a local shop told a different story in the same thread. u/Sweaty-Car-905 wrote that their store was "doing retail msrp for the eb05 boxes and i get to preorder one at that price", and u/Blaziken16 said an Australian shop sold out of pre-orders to non-players in less than a day at $350 AUD while it sold players "MSRP pre orders at $215 a box".

Our call: for EB-06, ask your local shop in December what it will charge and what deposit locks that price. Two weeks before EB-05 most of the stores in that count had stopped taking pre-orders, and the two local-shop accounts above say players the shop knows could still get MSRP. EB-06 is the next Extra Booster. We would rather be the player who asked in December and heard no than the one who heard $365 in August. For OP-19 and PEB-01 we would wait for a card list, because neither has one and a deposit is a bet on unseen cards.

A locked price is worth only what the shop's allocation is worth. In the August 13 thread u/FTWC-0014 liked that their shop "charges us that day for the preorders so it is secured at that price." u/dragonite007 had the other side in that thread: "Only problem is if the store gets enough allocation to fulfill my order." In an August 24 thread about OP-17 distribution, u/LucciRocks said their shop "had recieved only 40% of what they recieved of OP16." So ask the shop about allocation, not only about price.

Not every reader wants sealed boxes. u/dmalvano replied to the $365 story: "If you were willing to buy a box at 200 just save it and buy all the singles you would need for the same price." The same comment says "This isn't an excuse for you lcs doing you dirty" by switching the price. If you are building a deck, that beats all of the above.

What we don't know

The EB-05 sample is one Extra Booster, so our December call rests on thin data. Bandai has revealed no card list for EB-06, OP-19 or PEB-01, so every date here is a product date and nothing about contents. EB-06's pre-release date and PEB-01's are not on the English pages. The one-day English leads probably reflect Friday and Saturday release days, but Bandai does not say so. We left EB-04 out of the gap chart because it has no standalone English booster. A commenter on the October thread said OP-21 pre-orders were already open; neither Bandai list shows an OP-20 or later set on November 9, so we cannot say what those shop listings are tied to. Every date can still move, and the chart counts the first day of sale, not the day boxes reach your shop.
