Where to Buy One Piece Trading Cards in Australia

The One Piece Card Game has become one of the most popular newer trading card games in Australia, both as a game and a collectible. It is published by Bandai and has an English version sold internationally, so Australian players and collectors can buy it without importing Japanese product. This guide covers the basics and where to find it.

What the One Piece Card Game is

It is a two-player card game based on the One Piece manga and anime, built around leader cards and crews of characters. It is designed with organised play in mind, so a lot of the appeal is turning up to events and playing, not only collecting. Like Pokémon, it is released in both Japanese and English, with Japanese sets typically arriving first.

The main products

• Starter decks - ready-to-play decks built around a leader; the usual entry point for a new player.
• Booster packs and booster boxes - randomised cards from a set, for building your collection and upgrading decks.
• Special and premium products - occasional collections and promotional releases.

Where to buy in Australia

Specialty card and hobby stores

Specialty stores are the best starting point. They stock English starter decks and boosters, many run One Piece events and organised play, and staff can help a new player pick a first deck. Buying in person also lets you find a local play community.

CardMap lists stores by state, and many state pages have a dedicated One Piece section so you can find shops that carry it.

• One Piece stores in New South Wales
• One Piece stores in Victoria
• One Piece stores in Queensland
• One Piece stores in South Australia
• One Piece stores in Western Australia

Big-box retailers and online

Some larger retailers stock mainstream One Piece sealed product, especially around releases, and online stores carry the widest range including singles. As with any game, online is where most counterfeits and scams appear - buy from sellers you can identify and be cautious with prices that look too good.

Getting started as a player

If you want to play rather than just collect, the simplest path is: pick up a starter deck, learn the basics, then find a store running One Piece events near you so you can play regularly and upgrade your deck with boosters or singles.
