Where to Buy Riftbound Radiance: Store Guide

Riftbound: Radiance, the fifth Riftbound set, releases worldwide on 23 October 2026, and it is already on sale — just not everywhere you would look first. This guide covers where Radiance can actually be bought today in each market we track, what each product is, how Riot's own Merch Store draw works, and where the marketplaces fit.

One thing to know before any of it: stores are the whole market right now. Riot is not taking pre-orders, Amazon, Target and Walmart had no listing when we checked on 24 September, and the marketplaces are selling stock their sellers have not received yet. The cheapest route to a Radiance box in every market we cover is a store pre-order — and the spread between stores is wide enough that comparing first is worth the minute it takes.

The live version of every price in this guide is on the Radiance pre-order comparison, which lists each tracked store's current price in your currency, cheapest first, and refreshes daily. The store prices quoted below were read on each store's own page on 24 September 2026. They are examples of the range, not quotes — stores re-price pre-orders often, especially once the chase cards are revealed.

What you are buying: the Radiance products

Four product lines, per Riot's announcement and the retailer sheet. The prices are the US distributor MSRP — Riot has not published a price itself, and no official price outside the US has been announced, so stores elsewhere set their own.

Three naming traps catch buyers every set, and Radiance has all three:

• "Vault" and "Vault Bundle" are the same product. Some stores list one name, some the other. We group them together on the comparison page for exactly that reason.
• The Showdown Decks are sometimes listed as a "Champion Deck". At least one store titles them "Champion Deck: Evelynn Vs. Seraphine". It is the two-deck Showdown box, not a single champion deck.
• A "Pre-Rift" listing at a store is usually an event seat, not a sealed kit. Stores sell entry to their Pre-Rift event — you play the kit in store, 16 to 22 October — and some list those seats alongside the sealed product. Check the listing for a date and a time before you add it to a basket expecting a parcel.

If you are unsure what a box is worth opening at all, that is a separate question with an arithmetic answer — the box EV calculator does it for every released set and will cover Radiance from release day, once real singles prices exist.

Buying from Riot: the Merch Store draw

Riot is not selling Radiance by pre-order. Its Merch Store is running a draw instead, the same approach it used for the T1 Worlds Champion Collection:

It covers North America and Europe only, so Australia and Singapore are out. If you are in the UK, check the eligible-country list on Riot's sign-up page before counting on it. Riot did not publish a price on the draw announcement.

Is it worth entering? It costs nothing, and if you are picked you buy direct from the publisher. But an entry is not an order: if you want a display for certain, pre-order from a store as well, and check the store's cancellation terms in case you are selected and no longer need it.

Where to pre-order Radiance, market by market

Radiance is on sale at independent game stores in every market we track. Below is what we saw in each on 24 September. Your market's live, sorted list is on the pre-order comparison — it follows the country you browse from, and you can switch it at the top of any page.

United States

US stores were the closest to MSRP. Miniature Market listed the Booster Display at US$139.99, with a limit of four per customer; at the other end, ToyWiz asked US$224.99 for the same box. That is a US$85 spread on an identical, unopened product — the whole case for comparing before you order. TCGplayer (below) had marketplace listings, and GameStop has a page for the Vault Bundle.

Star City Games lists Radiance as "Preorders begin October 6", so it had nothing to sell on the 24th; CoolStuffInc had no listing when we looked. Neither is a reason to wait — just a sign that not every big US hobby retailer has opened yet.

United Kingdom

UK hobby stores had displays at around £150–160: Unicorn Cards listed one at £158.58, and Zatu Games, TierZero and Magic Madhouse all had Radiance pages. Dice Saloon and Seventh City were among the UK stores taking bookings for their Pre-Rift events as well as selling packs.

Eurozone

Universe TCG had the display at €125, with pre-orders open until 15 October. On Cardmarket, Europe's main marketplace, displays were listed at roughly €122–130 and single packs around €5.50–6.00 — unusually close to store prices for a pre-release marketplace, because Cardmarket's sellers are largely stores themselves. Time Twister had Radiance pre-orders up as well.

Australia

Australian stores were at around A$240: Turtle TCG and Let's Play Games both listed the display at A$239.99, and Ozzie Collectables had Radiance pre-orders up too. Australian pricing tends to sit well above a straight currency conversion of the US MSRP because of distribution and freight, so compare Australian stores with each other, not with US prices.

Canada

Canada had the widest choice of stores we track: Hobbiesville listed the display at C$189.95 and Skyfox Games at C$184.99, with 401 Games, Game 3 and Red Riot Games also taking pre-orders.

Singapore

Singapore's allocation looks tight. Flagship Games listed the display at S$160 and had already sold out of pre-orders, with a 10% cancellation fee on existing orders — read a store's terms before committing. Utopia Games and Chonky Collectibles had Radiance listings too.

Marketplaces: TCGplayer, eBay and Cardmarket

A marketplace price for an unreleased product is a seller's asking price for stock they expect to receive. That makes it a useful signal of demand and a poor place to buy a sealed box before release day. On 24 September, the cheapest English-language listings on TCGplayer were:

The Vault Bundle is the clearest example: a sealed product with an MSRP under US$35 was listed at nearly four times that, because the only sellers are people who pre-ordered elsewhere and are reselling their allocation. Those prices usually fall once stores deliver and the supply is real. Our comparison page shows TCGplayer's cheapest listing next to the stores' pre-orders, so the gap is visible at a glance rather than something you discover at checkout.

eBay has the same dynamic, plus the extra risk of pre-sale listings from sellers with no allocation at all. If you buy there before release, buy from a seller with a track record of shipping sealed product, and read the dispatch date. Cardmarket in Europe is the exception above: its display prices were close to store prices, because so many of its sellers are the stores themselves.

Where not to look (yet)

• Amazon, Target and Walmart had no Radiance listing on 24 September. A third-party Amazon listing that appears before release is a marketplace seller, not Amazon, and deserves the same caution as eBay.
• Unofficial "early" singles. A handful of cards reach the market during Pre-Rift week, 16–22 October, from event boxes. They are real, but they trade at the most volatile prices a set ever has — see why Riftbound card prices change for the mechanism.
• Anything claiming to ship before 23 October. Stores receive stock for Pre-Rift events a week early and for general sale on release day. A listing promising a sealed display in September is either a misprint or a seller without stock.

Pre-order or wait?

It depends on what you want from the set.

• You want to open product. Pre-order. Allocation, not price, is what runs out — Singapore's sell-out is the early sign. Pick the cheapest store in your market with sensible cancellation terms, and put in a Merch Store draw entry too if you are eligible.
• You want specific cards. Wait for singles. They are at their most expensive in Pre-Rift week and usually settle a few weeks after release. Every Radiance card gets a card page with live prices across every store we track as soon as it is imported — the Radiance spoiler tracker lists what has been revealed so far.
• You are not sure. Put a price alert on the product or card and let the price come to you. Singles for the headline Legends move fastest; the price history on each card page shows which way.

Keeping this current

Three pages stay current so this guide does not have to:

• Radiance pre-order prices — every tracked store's live price in your market, cheapest first, until release day, after which Radiance products move to the sealed comparison.
• The Radiance spoiler tracker — every card revealed so far, updated twice a day through Preview Season.
• Radiance: what's confirmed — the set's dates, products and Legends, with sources.

For stores in general rather than Radiance specifically, where to buy Riftbound cards covers every store we track, market by market.
