Regional official text checked October 24, 2026. October 23 is the Asia-English index date; 2027 dates are scheduled releases. No retailer stock, checkout, opening results, complete decklist, bonus-pack contents or physical printing was verified.

WHY IT MATTERS

Compare EB02 and ST15 by region as well as code. Keep US and Asia-English card counts, extra-card lines and scheduled dates separate; bonus-pack contents and exact pull probabilities remain unstated here.

The product code alone does not specify the regional offer

Bandai’s official Gundam Card Game pages now give collectors two regional specifications for Cosmic Crisis [EB02] and Unicorn Awakening [ST15]. The Asia-English news index dates both listings October 23, 2026, while the products themselves are scheduled for 2027. These are announced configurations, not evidence that orders are open or a retailer has stock.

The useful comparison is between the pages labelled English (US) and English (Asia), not between an undifferentiated pair of English-language listings. Keep the region, product code, listed contents and scheduled date together in a purchase note. A shared EB02 or ST15 code does not make every contents line identical.

Cosmic Crisis lists twelve cards in the US and six in Asia-English

For EB02, the US page lists February 26, 2027, an MSRP of $4.99 and twelve cards per pack. The Asia-English page lists February 27 and six cards per pack, without a price line. Do not apply the US MSRP to the six-card listing or treat it as a promised retail checkout price.

Both pages list 100+3 card types: 45 Common, 21 Uncommon, 15 Rare, nine Legend Rare, ten Special and three Token. These are the published type counts, not a stated recipe for an individual pack. They do not establish pull rates, which rarity slots every pack contains, or the chance of finding one specific card. The featured series is Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM ZERO.

Unicorn Awakening has a separate extra-card line in the US specification

The US ST15 page schedules April 16, 2027 and lists an MSRP of $39.99. Its contents include a ready-to-play 50-card deck, ten Resource Cards, 25 Extra Cards, six Token Cards, six Damage Counter Dice, a Rule/Playsheet and one Bonus Pack. The Asia-English page instead schedules April 17 and lists the 50-card deck, ten Resource Cards, six Token Cards, a Damage Counter Sheet, a Playsheet, six Damage Counter Dice and one Bonus Pack.

The Asia-English list does not contain the US page’s 25 Extra Cards line. That is a difference in the published specifications; silence alone does not prove what every eventual retail package will exclude. Ask a retailer to identify the regional edition and its actual contents rather than assuming the US specification applies to an Asia-English offer. The featured series for ST15 is Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn.

Leave the bonus-pack and exact-card questions open

Both ST15 pages list one Bonus Pack, but these pages do not give its card count, possible identities or odds. Do not turn the word bonus into an assumption that it is an EB02 pack, a complete extra set, or a guaranteed particular treatment. Likewise, a ready-to-play 50-card deck is a different product description from a pack’s card-type pool; neither establishes that every card a collector wants is included.

Before comparing prices, save the exact regional product URL and the seller’s contents description, then identify any missing checklist or bonus-pack detail. A larger stated card count by itself is not a pull-rate comparison or a conclusion about value. Recheck the regional pages as release approaches: these notices describe products under development, and this report has not inspected packaging, placed an order or tested availability.
