NIKKE Precious Booster prices 12 days in: the new box now costs less than the old one

GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE Precious Booster (UP01BT) came out on October 23, 2026. Twelve days later its booster box trades at $78.09, under half of its October peak, and $3.72 under the box of the first NIKKE set from 2025. Every single we can follow for more than a few days is cheaper than its first price. The star versions are holding much better than the base ones.

All prices below come from TCGIndex's card pages (TCGplayer market price, US dollars, Near Mint or sealed), read on November 4, 2026: each one is the latest point of the card's own daily price history. Twelve days is a short window, so read the singles as a first read, not a trend.

The box: half its peak in three weeks

• July 16: $114.99, the first price we recorded.
• October 16: $162.41, the high, one week before release.
• October 23, release day: $104.72.
• November 4: $78.09, 52 % under the peak and 25 % under release day.

The first NIKKE booster box (UE14BT) went the other way. It was $51.62 in January, rose through the year, and stands at $81.81 today (+58 %). The new box now costs a little less than the old one.

Is this unusual for Union Arena? The drop before release is the rule

We took the booster box of the five Union Arena sets released between June and September and read it before release, on release day and today.

All six boxes were cheaper on release day than in the weeks before, from 9 % (Chainsaw Man, Slime) to 49 % (Re:ZERO). After that the sets split. Chainsaw Man, Inuyasha and Re:ZERO are still below their release-day price. Slime is 40 % above it, and The 100 Girlfriends came back above it too. The low came between the day after release (Slime) and four weeks after (Chainsaw Man, Inuyasha). Five sets are a small sample: read this as history, not a forecast.

The singles: star versions hold, base versions fall

33 cards of the set have at least four days of prices. All 33 are below their first price. The gap is in the stars:

• The 19 star versions (PcR*, PcSR*, PcC*) are down a median 22 %.
• The 14 base versions of the same cards are down a median 80 %.

Same character, two prices:

• Scarlet (PcSR*): $27.20 on October 26, $23.20 now. Scarlet: $17.98 on release day, $1.40 now.
• Laplace (050) (PcSR*): $69.00 on October 24, $21.76 now, the steepest fall of the star cards. Laplace (050): $26.66 to $2.14.
• Cinderella (014) (PcR*): $52.93 to $46.99 (-11 %), the dearest single with a real history. Cinderella (014): $4.65 to $1.01.
• Grave (011) (PcR*): $46.33 to $39.02. Red Hood (035) (PcR*): $35.00 to $31.85, the best hold of the ten dearest cards with a history.

The two most expensive cards of the set have no history yet. Red Hood (036) (PcSR***) shows $1,499.99 and Cinderella (015) (PcSR**) about $600-650, each from a single day of prices. That is an asking level, not a market yet.

What we watch next

• The box against the old one: the new box at $78.09, the 2025 box at $81.81. If the pattern of Chainsaw Man and Inuyasha repeats, the low is still a couple of weeks away.
• The star premium: for the seven cards where we can compare both, a star version is worth 3 to 51 times its base version today. If the star prices keep holding while the base cards settle near $1-2, collectors are paying for the stars, not the set.
• Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Vol. 3 lands on November 13, the next box to test the pre-release drop. Its prices start on the UEX08BT set page.
