United StatesThe box has never been this cheap
The booster box — the 24-pack carton stores also call a display — starts at $142.30 on TCGplayer on the tracker's US page. We checked those numbers on the site ourselves: of the twelve American stores it follows, six have closed their lists and six are still taking orders, in a band running from $142.30 to $189.99. The first eBay listing picked up sits at $185, so that is the one place worth a second look before clicking buy.
Seen over time, the drop is steep. u/Specificx, who runs the tracker and posts the updates on r/riftboundtcg, had the same box at roughly $227 on September 24 and $149.97 on October 9. The cheapest shops are the ones that closed first, though: Game Nerdz at $129.97 and Hobbiesville at $134 are both sold out, and everything still open starts ten dollars higher.
EuropeFrom seventeen open stores down to six
The European count comes from the tracker alone and we could not confirm it against a second source, so we pass it on as given: on October 9, seventeen of the twenty eurozone stores it follows were open, starting at €119.95; today it is six out of twenty-three, and the ones still open run up to €168. The United Kingdom is calm by comparison: the £150-160 of late September has settled into a narrow £115-120 band. In Canada the cheap boxes are gone, and the four remaining stores want C$245 to C$263. For Australia the tracker lists three open stores, but one of its prices is disputed in the thread's comments, where a reader points out that the lowest offer is actually a British eBay seller who has already sold out.
ItalyOn Cardmarket supply grows and the price holds
Our automated Cardmarket reading, last refreshed on October 16, tells the opposite story to the shops. The Radiance Booster Box starts at €110, with a reference price (the «trend», the average of the offers) of €134 — and, more to the point, 676 copies are listed. Two days ago, when we wrote about the price gap between European stores, there were 457. Supply on the marketplace is not drying up: it is widening, and the floor has barely twitched.
That is not a contradiction. These are two different channels: a shop books a finite allocation and closes the list when it runs out, while Cardmarket is hundreds of resellers loading their own stock as it arrives. The rest of the set follows the same line: the Vault starts at €34.00, the Evelynn vs Seraphine Showdown Decks at €32.00, the Pre-Rift Event Kit at €31.00 and a single booster at €5.40.
Closing
In the eurozone the tracker counts six preorder lists still open across 23 stores. Anyone who wants to collect in person is running out of time.
Widening
On Cardmarket the box went from 457 to 676 listed copies in two days, with the floor steady at €110.
| Market | Lowest offer | Preorder status |
|---|---|---|
| United States | $142.30 | 6 of 12 stores open |
| Eurozone (stores) | n/a | 6 of 23 stores open |
| Cardmarket | €110.00 | 676 copies listed |
| United Kingdom | £114.95 | £115-120 band |
| Canada | C$245.00 | 4 stores open |
Why it matters here. Anyone in Italy who wants a Radiance box before October 23 has two very different routes. The local shop: those lists really are closing, so if yours is still taking names and you want to pick the box up in person, this is the week. The marketplace: there is no rush at all, copies go up every day and the floor has sat at €110 for a week. The mistake to avoid is reading «they're running out» and paying €160 for a box that costs €110 online.
The short version
- RiftCompare counts six eurozone stores with open preorders out of 23 tracked, down from 17 of 20 on October 9.
- In the US the booster box has fallen to $142.30, its lowest yet, but the cheapest shops have already sold out.
- Cardmarket listings have climbed to 676 copies with the floor still at €110: on the marketplace there is no hurry.
