Summary
In 2019,Konamireleased a stainless steel Dark Magician GirlYu-Gi-Ohcard. Very rare and highly sought after, there was one catch, and it was a big one for Yu-Gi-Oh fans who don’t live in Japan. The card didn’t get a worldwide release. Five years later, to celebrate Yu-Gi-Oh’s 25th anniversary, that has finally changed. Dark Magician Girl’s stainless steel card is now available in Europe, releasing on June 06, 2025, and pre-orders are now open.
The special edition card is exclusive to Amazon and even though it won’t be released outside of Japan for the first time until August 1, pre-orders are now open. The card is 169 euros ($184) and even though the first batch of pre-orders appears to have sold out almost immediately, there will hopefully be more available at a later date. Konami has made it clear that the card will only be available in limited numbers, though.
Each of the cards will be individually numbered which means yours will be truly unique to you. However, the reveal also notes that waves of cards will be sent every five days, making some hopeful that even though there will be a limited amount of these cards available, there will be more chances to secure one. Even though the first wave sold out before this article was published, it’s worth checking the link below as the next wave of pre-orders may now be open.
