That\u2019s based on what collectors are seeing in community groups, stock trackers, and alleged employee leaks, which also peg the price at somewhere between $42 and $42.99.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s still nothing official from Costco, so take this for what it is: an unannounced restock rumor. Even so, people in the community say shipments are already on the way, a possible SKU, 2022324, is making the rounds, and some U.S. Costco stores may set boxes out earlier or later than others, if they get them at all.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you collect Pok\u00e9mon cards, this one\u2019s hard to ignore. Pok\u00e9mon TCG: Mega Evolution\u2014Ascended Heroes came out on <strong>February 20, 2026<\/strong>, and it\u2019s still one of the hottest Mega Evolution releases of the year, helped along by all the interest around <a href=\"https:\/\/pokemon-legends-z-a.en.softonic.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Pok\u00e9mon Legends: Z-A<\/a>. If Costco really does price it in the low-$40 range, that would land well under retail and way below the roughly $160 resale price on the secondary market, especially with hype building before the September 16 Pok\u00e9mon TCG: 30th Celebration release.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ll need a Costco membership. The same community reports also say there could be a <strong>two-box limit<\/strong> per membership, and participating stores are rumored to receive around 360 boxes each. If you\u2019re planning to check, go early at your local Costco warehouse, because reported distribution looks fairly tight, about 111 locations total, including 35 on the West Coast and 33 in the Southwest.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Costco could start putting Pok\u00e9mon TCG: Mega Evolution\u2014Ascended Heroes Elite Trainer Boxes on shelves during the week of September 14, 2026.
