Japanese EX-Era Packs and Box: Miracle of the Desert, Mirage Forest and Miracle Crystal
The Japanese ADV and PCG eras gave English players the EX series. We list sealed 1st Edition packs from three of those Japanese sets and a 1st Edition Mirage Forest box. Each has a different English counterpart and a very different price, so this guide sets them side by side.

Weight labels
Heavy, Light and Unsearched are EACollectibles’ own weight classifications, not manufacturer categories: Heavy means expected to contain a holo or better, Light means unlikely to, and Unsearched means not weighed or sorted. No label can promise a specific card. The listings refer to a Heavy Pack Policy that isn’t published as a page yet, so ask for its written terms before paying for a Heavy pack.
Checks before you buy
- Ask for exact-item photos — the listings show stock photos.
- For packs, check that both crimps are even and flat with no signs of re-sealing.
- Confirm the exact option you select (edition, weight label, pack art) is the one that will ship.
- Compare prices only with the same Japanese set and edition; English and Japanese markets are priced separately.

Checkout accepts Bitcoin or USDC; shipping is calculated from your destination country and shown before you place the order, and every payment is checked by hand before the order is confirmed.
