Terms & Conditions
To ensure everything runs perfectly and transparently for the whole community, please take a quick look at how we manage the campaign updates:
- Product Lineup & Arts: Product name is subject to change based on the publisher’s official release information. Product images shown are for illustration purposes only. The final product lineup and images are subject to confirmation and may change.
- Supplier Allocation Adjustments: All official details such as expansion names, item codes, quantities, and configurations will follow the publisher’s final release. If distributor shortages happen, we’ll adjust quantities fairly to ensure balanced distribution. All pre‑orders are subject to allocation, with priority for customers under Benefit #2. Please note that Benefit #2 quantities are not guaranteed and may be adjusted after allocation.
- Pre-Order Term & Condition & Refund Policy: Submitting a pre‑order indicates your agreement to our terms and conditions, allocation policy, and refund policy. We reserve the right to adjust, revise, or cancel pre‑order quantities based on publisher releases and distributor supply. We also reserve the right to make changes to product information and all related details at any time, without prior consent or notification.
- Tokens & Redemption Rules: Campaign tokens and priority entitlements are exclusive to your account and don’t carry cash value. Remember to redeem them during the Token Redemption window. Once you choose your items, your order will be created manually and payment must be completed within 1 day. Orders unpaid after 1 day will be cancelled and the redeemed tokens returned for the second round of redemption. Tokens can’t be combined or transferred. Any unused tokens will expire on the Eng 30th Celebration Product Release Date with no refund. Token requirements for redemption (5–30 tokens) may be adjusted based on final product availability.
- Bonus Allocations (Benefit #3 & #4): Ultra-Premium Collection (UPC) and ME06 Delta Reign priority allocations are dependent on token rank and totals as specified under Benefits #3 and #4. UPC allocation remains subject to final availability and is not guaranteed. Priority allocation guarantees faster fulfillment over standard pre-orders.
- Keeping Things Fair: We love our community and want to protect our collectors! Our system routinely checks for fairness, and we reserve the right to void duplicate checkout attempts, bot entries, or split profiles trying to bypass household limits.
- Timeline & Shipping Estimates: Our target launch of September 16, 2026, is based on the best current estimates from the manufacturer. While we promise to work as quickly as possible, we appreciate your understanding if global shipping bottlenecks or publisher adjustments create minor timeline shifts.
30th Celebration Campaign Q&A
Got questions about how to maximize your tokens or lock in your allocations? We are here to help! Check out these quick answers to get you ready for the big celebration.
Q: How do I preorder with the latest announcement for the 30th celebration priority allocation? Thank you.
If you’ve already pre‑ordered the M6a set, you are completely good to go—no extra steps needed! Your entry is safely logged. If you'd love to boost your allocation chances, you are always welcome to place additional M6a pre‑orders directly on our website anytime!
Q: Is it auto priority allocation as long as you have preordered either m6 or m6a?
Yes, absolutely! The moment you pre-order either M6 or M6a, your priority track kicks off automatically. We've made it as simple as possible for you to get in on the action!
Q: What happens after I choose my items during the token redemption phase?
Once you've chosen your items, our team will manually create your order for you. Please assist by making payment within 1 day as your order confirmation! If an order isn't paid within 1 day, it may be cancelled, and your tokens will be returned to you so you can use them in the second round of token redemption.
Q: How do Benefits #3 and #4 work?
Under Benefit #3, the Top 3 Token Holders unlock priority allocation for 1x Day Set & 1x Night Set of the Ultra-Premium Collection, while ranks 4–10 get priority allocation for 1x random set (subject to availability). Under Benefit #4, every 20 tokens unlocks priority fulfillment for 18 packs of ME06 Delta Reign, and every 40 tokens unlocks priority fulfillment for 36 packs—ensuring your preorder gets fulfilled ahead of general preorders!
Q: I went thru your website and read thru your new ways on purchasing M6 Storm emeralda. Which means if i buy minimum M6 Storm Emeralda x 20packs/units I would get 1 priority chance of getting 1unit x 30th ETB (msrp), is tat right? All customer limit to 1 chance of purchase only?
Let's look at the exciting perks you unlock with 20 packs of M6 Storm Emeralda ($10.90/unit):
With 20 tokens accumulated, you qualify to redeem priority rights for premium 30th Celebration products (redemptions range between 5–30 tokens per product depending on availability). As you accumulate tokens, you are free to redeem tokens multiple times. Plus, 20 tokens now also unlocks Benefit #4 (1x 18 packs ME06 Delta Reign Priority Allocation)! Happy stacking!

Q: I have already last time storm emerelda i ordered at 10.30/pack for 60 packs total. am i included in the campaign? or only 10.90 then included?
You are 100% included! We love our early supporters, so all past and future pre‑orders qualify perfectly for the campaign benefits. Just a small reminder: only pre‑orders count toward your token rewards, as normal in‑store purchases after the official release day won't carry token weights.
Q: Hi can I double check if M6 Storm Emeralda is preorder or in stock. Like do I make payment or wait for allocation
Great news! We already have fully confirmed stock allocations from our suppliers for both M6 ($10.90/unit) and M6a ($20.90/unit). That means you can proceed with your payment right away with absolute peace of mind—all pre‑orders for M6 and M6a will be completely fulfilled!
Q: hello, may I know how to preorder for the 30th Celebration ETB
Securing the 30th Celebration ETB is all about collecting tokens! Redemption requirements range between 5–30 tokens depending on final product availability (check the Priority List spreadsheet for partial releases!). You easily earn 1 full token for every M6 pack ordered ($10.90/unit), and 0.25 token for every M6a pack ordered ($20.90/unit). Keep in mind that redemptions are processed following the Priority List queue—so collectors with higher token stacks get the very first choices!
Q: So previously preordered the jap 30th celebration also applies? Or must buy some more?
Yes, it absolutely applies! Every single past purchase you made for the Japanese 30th Celebration set counts directly toward your Benefit #2. You can choose to add more to scale up your token ranking, or happily keep your current standing!
Q: Hello if I bought 25 packs already for 30th Jap ver. means I have 6.25 token?
Spot on! Your math is exactly correct: 25 packs of M6a × 0.25 token gives you a shiny total of 6.25 tokens added to your profile record!
Q: a person with 2 product priority purchase rights will have a better chance of getting the item they want over a person with 1 product priority purchase right?
To look at it precisely, priority is determined entirely by your total token count! The larger your stack of tokens, the earlier your name appears in the queue sequencing window. This gives you an earlier opportunity to pick your favorite items, and allows you to redeem multiple premium products depending on the final supplier stock we receive!
Q: Will there be a leaderboard to show the ranking and participant list?
Yes, absolutely! We want to keep everything completely clear, fair, and transparent for you. The final token count has been partially released—please refer to the TCG ME5.5 Priority List & Campaign Participants.xlsx for the updated list and ranking.
Q: Is there any deadline for preorder of M6 and M6A?
Yes there is. You can only earn tokens on all M6 & M6a pre-orders and in-store purchases up to 3 days after the Allocation Results are released.
