Where to buy Pokémon cards in Australia: Kmart, Big W, EB Games and more

Where do you buy Pokémon cards in Australia? Almost anywhere: department stores, game and toy stores, the official Pokémon Center online store, local card shops and online marketplaces. Here's what each kind of store usually carries, how restocks work, and when it's better to buy online.

FUDAKURA is an independent distributor and online shop, and isn't affiliated with any retailer on this page. Store names are used only to describe where Pokémon cards are sold, and are trademarks of their owners.

Kmart Pokémon cards

Kmart sells English Pokémon TCG products, from booster packs, blister packs and tins to collection boxes, in the toy section of most stores and online. New sets and popular products can sell out quickly and often come with purchase limits per customer.

Big W Pokémon cards

Big W carries English Pokémon cards in store and online, usually booster packs, tins, collection boxes and Elite Trainer Boxes. Stock of new releases varies a lot from store to store.

Target Pokémon cards

Target Australia carries a smaller range of Pokémon cards in many stores, mostly booster packs, blisters and tins in the toy aisle.

When do Kmart, Big W and Target restock Pokémon cards?

None of them publishes a restock schedule. Trading cards are often stocked on a weekly delivery, so every store has its own restock day. The most reliable tip is to ask staff which day new stock comes in. Online restocks appear without notice and sell out fast.

EB Games Pokémon cards

EB Games sells sealed Pokémon products in stores and online, including preorders for new English sets, Elite Trainer Boxes and special collections.

JB Hi-Fi Pokémon cards

JB Hi-Fi (JBHiFi) stocks Pokémon TCG products in many stores and online, often next to its video games, with preorders for popular releases. Searching "JBHiFi Pokémon" on its website shows what's in stock at your nearest store.

Costco Pokémon cards

Costco sometimes sells Pokémon cards as bundles, with several collection boxes, tins or Elite Trainer Boxes packed together. Stock comes and goes, and you need a membership to buy.

Pokémon Center Australia

The official Pokémon Center online store serves Australia and New Zealand, with Pokémon TCG products, Pokémon Center exclusives and plush. Orders ship from overseas, so delivery is slower than from Australian shops. See our Pokémon Center Australia guide.

Toy stores and newsagents

Toy stores such as Toyworld, and some newsagents, carry single booster packs, blisters and tins. They're handy for a pack or two, but stock varies a lot from store to store.

Local card shops

Local trading card and game stores stock sealed English product, keep a case of singles and run Play! Pokémon events. See Pokémon card shops near me for how to find one.

Buying Pokémon cards online in Australia

Marketplaces such as eBay and Amazon Australia have a huge range of singles and sealed product from many sellers. Check each seller's rating, where the item ships from, and the total price including shipping.

Buying Japanese Pokémon cards wholesale

Every store above mostly sells English cards. Japanese sets come out first, often months before their English versions, and many collectors prefer their print quality (why collectors buy Japanese Pokémon cards). We ship sealed Japanese booster boxes, Elite Trainer Boxes and rare singles from Japan to Australia with tracking, show every quantity break in Australian dollars, and ship free on orders over A$3,000. Card shops and resellers: see our wholesale terms, and compare prices with our Pokémon card price checker.
