ONE PIECE Heroines Special Set — Premium Bandai Exclusive Guide
The Heroines Special Set is a Premium Bandai lottery product pairing EB-03 packs with exclusive promos, a playmat, and a storage box — delivering September 2026. Here's what's in it, what it's worth, and how to get one.
The ONE PIECE Heroines Special Set is a Premium Bandai lottery-only product built around the EB-03 Heroines Edition. It bundles an EB-03 booster box with exclusive promo cards, special DON!! cards, sleeves, a playmat, and a storage box — delivering September 2026. Access is through Premium Bandai's "Chance to Buy" system. Secondary market pricing is running $200–$470 depending on JP vs EN version and condition.
What is the Heroines Special Set?
The Heroines Special Set is a Premium Bandai exclusive bundle built around EB-03 Extra Booster Heroines Edition — the set focused on One Piece's most popular female characters: Nami, Robin, Boa Hancock, Carrot, Yamato, and the rest of the Heroines roster. EB-03 itself released in English on February 20, 2026; this Special Set packages it with exclusive collectible items you can't get anywhere else.
Like most Premium Bandai exclusive products, it's sold through their "Chance to Buy" lottery system — you apply for a slot, Bandai randomly selects buyers, and if selected you're charged and it ships. There's no queue, no first-come-first-served. Either you're in or you're not.
EB-03 focused on the game's most popular female characters — Nami, Robin, and Boa Hancock in particular drive consistent secondary market demand. The Special Set layers exclusive promos on top of that base, making it a collector piece beyond just a pack-cracking product.
What's in the box?

Bandai issued a correction to the product image on March 19, 2026 — some items shown in early promotional images were not actually included.

Is the Heroines Special Set worth it?
Secondary market pricing gives a useful signal. EB-03 boxes on their own have settled — the Special Set's premium over a standalone EB-03 box represents what buyers are paying for the exclusive items alone:
| Version | Where | Price range |
|---|---|---|
| JP Special Set | TCG Republic | ~$452 |
| EN Special Set (secondary) | eBay completed sales | $201–$471 |
| EN Special Set (official) | Premium Bandai USA lottery | TBD — check listing |
| EB-03 box only (EN, retail) | Standard retailers | ~$65–$80 |
- The exclusive items carry the premium. The gap between a $70 EB-03 box and a $200–$450 Special Set is entirely the promo card, playmat, sleeves, and DON!! variants. Whether that's worth it depends on how much you value those exclusives.
- DON!! variant randomness is a real factor. You cannot choose regular vs. parallel — it's random. If you specifically want the parallel, expect to pay secondary market prices for it.
- Playmat value is collector-driven, not gameplay-driven. Heroines playmats have a collector secondary market but no gameplay scarcity premium.
The promo card's character reveal is the variable that will determine whether this holds value. Character-specific promos (especially Nami or Robin) have historically retained collector demand. Once Bandai confirms the promo art, re-assess. Getting in at official price through the lottery is the smart play — secondary market is already 3–6× retail.
How to get one
The primary channel is Premium Bandai's lottery. Secondary is whatever importers and eBay sellers were able to acquire.
- The official source — no import needed, delivered by Bandai directly. Official MSRP is the lowest price you'll find anywhere.

What's in EB-03 Heroines Edition?
EB-03 is the underlying set in the Special Bundle. It's an Extra Booster — a focused, smaller set built entirely around female characters from across the One Piece story. Released EN on February 20, 2026, the card pool is already known and trading on TCGPlayer.
- Character focus: Nami, Nico Robin, Boa Hancock, Carrot, Yamato, Ulti, Big Mom, and more — the full Heroines roster across arcs.
- Extra Booster format: smaller set than a main booster, tighter card pool, higher hit rates on the key characters per box.
- Already released: if you just want EB-03 packs, they're available at standard retailers now. The Special Set adds the exclusive items on top.
