The Heroines Gift Collection, Bandai's code GC-2026, releases Nov. 20, 2026 at $44.99. That's three weeks after EB-05 itself, and it lands on the same day as OP-18, so it's going to share a shelf with a main set.
What's in the box, straight from Bandai's product page: two EB-05 booster packs, one type of special sleeve in a 70-piece set, and 10 promotion cards, 10 types, with new illustrations.
Doing the math on $44.99
Two packs at $4.99 list is $9.98. A sleeve set from Bandai usually runs about $10, and the products index lists a separate Heroines Edition limited sleeve at exactly that. So roughly $20 of the price is accounted for by things you can buy on their own, and the other $25 is for 10 promo cards you can't get anywhere else.
Whether that's a good deal depends entirely on who those 10 cards are. Bandai hasn't said. If they're alt-art versions of the characters people already chase from this set, the box will sell out and the promos will trade above the box price inside a week. That's what happened with past One Piece gift products. If they're reprints of commons with a new frame, it's a $45 sleeve set.
My guess is the former, because Bandai put "new illustrations" in the product description and that phrase is doing a lot of work. But it's a guess, and I'd rather say so than dress it up.
Things to know before you preorder
The gift box doesn't change the EB-05 card pool. The two packs inside are regular EB-05 packs. The promos are separate cards with promo numbering, not set cards, and they won't appear in boosters.
The release is Nov. 20, not Oct. 30. If a listing is offering the gift collection "in hand" before then, something is wrong with the listing.
And the $44.99 is Bandai's suggested price. Retail allocation on gift products has been thin for the last several releases, so expect the street price to float above it from day one.
The set the box is built around is covered in EB-05 lands Oct. 30, and the leaders-only event running at the same time is in EB05-010 Nico Robin and the Heroines Battle.
