In Short

"Stella Sora" (ステラソラ) makes its debut in Weiss Schwarz, with both the Trial Deck and Booster Pack releasing on the same day: October 16, 2026.

  • Trial Deck — A 50-card ready-to-play deck. Each deck is guaranteed to contain 2 TDP/TDSP foil cards. Choose this if you're a beginner.
  • Booster Pack — 8 cards per pack, 10 packs per box. Each box is guaranteed to contain 1 PR card, plus 17 voice actor signed cards. Choose this for card collecting.

In one sentence: Want to play immediately → Trial Deck; Want to collect cards, characters, and strengthen your deck → Booster Box. The standard way to play is to get both.

Trial Deck: Choose this for beginners

Weiss Schwarz Stella Sora Trial Deck Japanese Version Packaging
Trial Deck "Stella Sora" Japanese version. MOONROAD sells according to supplier wholesale units, 1 strip of 4.

The purpose of a Trial Deck has always been "open and play immediately". A 50-card deck is already a complete playable deck, coming with a quick manual, deck explanation book, and a playmat – for new players, this is the lowest friction way to get into the game.

What's most noteworthy about this "Stella Sora" Trial Deck is: each 50-card deck is guaranteed to include 2 TDP or TDSP cards. There are 20 types of TDP (planned); TDSP are 3 types of voice actor signed cards (planned) – signed cards are always a collector's item in these Trial Decks, but because they are random, there's no guarantee you'll pull one.

Unit Reminder: This MOONROAD item is sold in supplier wholesale units – 1 strip = 4 Trial Decks, HK$312. Not sold individually. If you want a single deck, please inquire at the store.

Booster Pack: Choose this for collecting

Weiss Schwarz Stella Sora Booster Box Japanese Version
Booster Box "Stella Sora". 10 packs per box, 8 cards per pack, officially guaranteed to include 1 PR card per box.

Booster Packs contain 8 cards per pack, with 10 packs per box. The card composition is 100 normal cards + 100+ parallel foil cards (officially marked as tentative). Having more types of foil cards than normal cards is a recent trend in Weiss Schwarz, meaning it's quite challenging to collect all parallel cards.

This item has another collector's highlight: 17 voice actor signed cards. These signed cards are randomly inserted, and no official ratios have been announced.

Bonus Tiers: Pack, Box, Carton

Many people are unclear about "what exactly is guaranteed in a box pull". Bushiroad has three tiers this time, which we will list one by one:

Tier Manufacturer's Guarantee Contents
Per Pack (8 cards) None Completely random
Per Box (10 packs) 1 PR card 24 types in total: 12 normal + 12 parallel
Per Carton (12 boxes) An additional 1 PR card 10 types in total (different from box bonus)

Practical implications:

  • Buy one box — You are guaranteed to get 1 PR card, but it's random from 24 types, so you'll need multiple boxes to complete the set.
  • Buy a whole carton (12 boxes) — 12 box PR cards + 1 carton-exclusive PR card. The 10 types of carton PR cards cannot be obtained by simply buying boxes – this is the only substantial difference for buying a whole carton.
  • SR/SP/Signed Cards — All random, no official rates announced, and no box pull guarantee.

Some people say "a box guarantees a few SPs" or similar, but that's personal experience, not a manufacturer's promise. What the manufacturer truly guarantees in writing are only the two rows in the table above.

Which one is right for you?

Complete Beginner

Trial Deck. Open and play immediately, no need to learn deck building first. If two people are getting into the game together, a strip of 4 is actually very cost-effective – keep two for yourself, give two to a friend.

Current Player

Booster Box as primary, Trial Deck as secondary. Trial Decks provide the basic framework and guaranteed foil cards; Booster Packs are where the real deck strengthening happens.

Collector

Booster Box. Over 100 types of parallel cards plus 17 voice actor signed cards are the main focus. If your goal is the carton-exclusive PR cards (10 types in total), then buying a whole carton is the only way.

Pre-order Checklist

  • This batch has closed — July 30, 2026, 15:00. Confirm if additional orders can be placed before ordering.
  • Check the unit carefully — Trial Deck is 4 per strip; Booster is 1 box of 10 packs. Neither is a single item.
  • If you want the carton-exclusive PR, you need a whole carton — You won't get those 10 types by just buying boxes.
  • Verify with JAN — Trial Deck 4573616015851; Booster 4573616015868.
  • Japanese Version — Both are Japanese versions.
  • Release date ≠ Arrival date — Released in Japan on Oct 16, MOONROAD expects to arrive in late October, subject to delay.
  • JPY retail price ≠ HKD selling price — ¥4,400 is the suggested retail price in Japan, not including exchange rates, shipping, or taxes. You cannot directly subtract the two.
  • Payment deadline — Complete payment and upload receipt within 24 hours of order confirmation.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is Stella Sora released?

The Bushiroad official product page states that the Trial Deck and Booster Pack will be released on the same day: October 16, 2026. This is the Japan release date; MOONROAD expects arrival in late October 2026, subject to delay.

What is the difference between Trial Deck and Booster Pack?

The Trial Deck is a 50-card ready-to-play deck, including a quick manual, deck explanation book, and playmat, and each deck is guaranteed to contain 2 TDP/TDSP foil cards. The Booster Pack is a supplementary pack, with 8 cards per pack and 10 packs per box. It consists of 100 normal card types plus 100+ parallel card types, and each box is guaranteed to contain 1 PR card. Choose the Trial Deck if you want to play immediately; choose the Booster if you want to collect cards and strengthen your deck.

How many foil cards are guaranteed in a Booster Box?

The manufacturer guarantees 1 PR card per box (24 types in total: 12 normal + 12 parallel). Additionally, each carton (12 boxes) includes an extra 1 carton-exclusive PR card (10 types in total), which cannot be obtained by buying individual boxes. As for SR, SP, and the 17 voice actor signed cards, official sources have not announced any pull rates, nor is there a box guarantee. If you only want a specific card, it's more direct to buy the single card than to pull from packs.

Is MOONROAD's Trial Deck sold as a single deck?

No. This MOONROAD item is sold in supplier wholesale units, 1 strip containing 4 Trial Decks, priced at HK$312. The Booster is 1 Booster Box, containing 10 packs, priced at HK$193.3. Please check the product page's sales unit carefully before ordering.

Is buying a whole carton worthwhile?

The only substantial difference when buying a whole carton (12 boxes) is that you will receive an additional carton-exclusive PR card (10 types in total), which cannot be obtained by buying individual boxes. Other than that, the official pull rates for the cards themselves are not announced, and buying a whole carton does not guarantee a complete set.

Can I still pre-order now?

MOONROAD's pre-order deadline for this batch was July 30, 2026, at 15:00, and has passed. The product page is still open, but whether additional orders can be placed depends on upstream allocation. It is recommended to confirm with the store or customer service before placing an order.
