Invasion of Chaos Booster Box: 1st Edition vs Unlimited

Invasion of Chaos (IOC), released in 2004, introduced Black Luster Soldier – Envoy of the Beginning and Chaos Emperor Dragon – Envoy of the End to the English game — the start of the “chaos” era. It’s one of the most sought-after sealed boxes of the original series, and we list both prints.

Invasion of Chaos Unlimited booster box

The Unlimited print, 24 packs, at a much lower price.

1st Edition vs Unlimited

Konami printed each early English set first as 1st Edition and later as Unlimited. 1st Edition packs and cards carry a “1st Edition” marking; Unlimited do not. The cards inside are the same set list, but collectors price the two prints as different products — compare a 1st Edition box only with other 1st Edition boxes of the same set.

Checks before you buy

The listings show example photos and describe each box as sealed. Before paying for a vintage box, ask for exact-item photos of all six sides, the wrap seams and corners, and the edition marking on the box, and confirm in writing that the photos show the box that will ship. Photos help judge condition but aren’t proof of authenticity on their own.
