Updated 13 November 2026 · How preorders work at Collectible Madness
Want the next big set the day it lands, without refreshing a sold-out page? A preorder secures your allocation before release day. Here's exactly how our preorders work and what's open right now.
New trading card game sets arrive almost every week, and the most popular sealed products can sell through fast. Preordering means your order is allocated as soon as stock is made available to us, so you're not competing on launch day. Below you'll find our real preorder rules, taken straight from our pre-order policy, plus a snapshot of what's currently listed.
What is a preorder?
A preorder is a purchase of an item that hasn't come into stock yet. Usually it's a brand-new set, series or product, or a fresh shipment of something that recently sold out. For limited releases, a preorder can be the only reliable way to make sure an item is allocated to you.
How preorders work at Collectible Madness
1. Pay in full to lock in your allocation
Every preorder needs full payment (100%) at checkout. That's what secures your allocation. All payment methods available in our store can be used for preorders. We don't take deposits.
2. We ship the moment it arrives
As soon as stock reaches us, your order is prepared and dispatched, with nothing more needed from you. We'll keep you updated on the ETA, status and delivery along the way.
3. Release dates are estimates
The release dates on our listings come from publishers and distributors and are estimates only. Manufacturing issues, shipping delays, supplier shortages or split shipments can push them back. If a date moves, we update the listing and contact the affected customers.
4. Mixing in-stock and preorder items
If your order mixes in-stock items with preorders, or preorders with different release dates, everything ships together once the last preorder item arrives. To get in-stock items sooner, choose Split-Shipment at checkout. We'll send what's in stock now and the preorder items when they land. Need more than one split? Email customer_support@collectiblemadness.com.au.
5. Changing your mind
You can ask to cancel a preorder for a refund any time before it ships. Email us, and the refund goes back to your original payment method. A 7% processing fee applies to cancellations to cover handling and merchant fees.
Shipping: preorders ship with tracking under our standard delivery policy, including free shipping on orders above $175 within Australia.

Tips for choosing the right preorder
- Check the ETA and plan your budget. Some listings are months away, and payment is taken in full when you order.
- Order slow preorders separately, or choose Split-Shipment, so they don't hold up in-stock items.
- Know the format. A booster box gives you the most packs. An Elite Trainer Box adds sleeves, dice and a promo card. A Build & Battle Box or battle deck gets you playing straight away.
- Plan storage now. A fitted case keeps a sealed box crisp from the day it arrives. See the MADGuard range below.
Protect it when it lands: MADGuard
Our own MADGuard cases are made for sealed product. The Booster Box Acrylic Case and Elite Trainer Box Acrylic Case use 8mm cast acrylic with an N55 magnetic lid and 99.5% UV protection. For newer Booster Bundles (Ascended Heroes onwards), choose the Tall Booster Bundle case.
Frequently asked questions
Do I pay a deposit or the full amount?
The full amount. Every preorder needs 100% payment at checkout to secure your allocation.
When will my preorder ship?
As soon as the stock arrives with us. Release dates are estimates from publishers and distributors, and we'll let you know if a date changes.
Will a preorder hold up the rest of my order?
Yes, unless you choose Split-Shipment at checkout. Otherwise mixed orders ship together once the last preorder item arrives.
