Story
Mini-tin Pack Set Vol.4, coded TS-04, is announced for **November 20, 2026** in Asia-Pacific (Japan excluded). Pre-orders have been open since April 2026 at specialist retailers. Bandai keeps the proven formula of Vol.1-3: **6 metal mini-tin designs** + **1 exclusive promo card** + **4 sealed boosters**, this time from the **OP-17** set (not yet released at pre-order time).
The featured characters and exact artworks **have not yet been communicated by Bandai** at the time pre-orders opened, visuals and details to come ahead of the release. The case packing is known: **48 mini-tins per case** at distributors (vs 12 at consumer retailers).
Thesis
At this stage TS-04 is still an **unconfirmed product**, without official visuals or a promo-card list, only the historical pattern of the line can be described. **Three things to watch.** **1. Continuity of the formula:** Vol.1 through 3 all followed the same template and stayed scarce thanks to the Asia-only distribution; TS-04 is likely to follow the same path. **2. The OP-17 content:** if OP-17 ships as a strong set (a meta-defining Leader, premium alt arts), the 4 sealed boosters inside each tin carry more appeal. **3. The theme:** if Bandai reuses the Three Brothers (TS-01) or the heroines (TS-02), interest will be lower than for a fresh theme (Emperors? Roger's crew? Worst Generation?). Watch for Bandai's official announcement by September 2026.
**For collectors:** Vol.1-3 sold out within 2-3 weeks of launch, so a pre-order is the simplest way to secure a copy; full-case buying is harder to justify before the contents are revealed. We will update this page as Bandai unveils the designs.
