GCG EXPO 2026 in TOKYO, the big official event for the GUNDAM CARD GAME, ran on 26–27 September 2026 in Halls 5–6 at Makuhari Messe. Using Bandai’s official announcements, this round-up covers every Japanese-version gift and prize handed out for attending, competing and joining the day’s events, plus the event-only merchandise — each with the official image and a Collect2Day search for the Japanese version.
TL;DR
- The one to watch is the マッチングバトル 7-match prize, EXRP-020 EXリソース〈初音ミク〉 — a Hatsune Miku × Gundam collaboration design earned by playing 7 matches, win or lose.
- The hardest prizes are the serial-numbered EXBP-028 (top 1 per 32 in the Serial Card Challenge) and the GD03-034 パラレル (top 1 per 256 in the EXPO qualifier); every visitor got ST01-014, and the survey gave RP-023.
- Four event-only items (EVX06–EVX09) sold at 990–4,400 yen including tax; every gift and prize is not for sale, so after the event the secondary market is the only route.
GCG EXPO 2026 in TOKYO at a glance
GCG EXPO is an all-day GUNDAM CARD GAME event. The Tokyo stop ran on Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 September 2026 in Halls 5–6 at Makuhari Messe, with pre-registered competitions (the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS 26-27 EXPO qualifier, the Serial Card Challenge and the Newtype Challenge) alongside walk-up events (マッチングバトル, BO3チャレンジ, シールド戦, 2on2チーム戦 and バトルロワイヤル). Entry required face-recognition registration in advance.
Everything here is taken from Bandai’s official GUNDAM CARD GAME event pages. Some secondhand round-ups list JAPAN FINALS places for 1on1 qualifier finishers 3rd–6th; the official page says 3rd–8th. Some also leave out the BO3チャレンジ and the attendance lottery — both are included below.

EXRP-020 EXリソース〈初音ミク〉
マッチングバトル · 7-match prize
EXRP-020 is a Hatsune Miku × Gundam collaboration EXリソース. The card reads “GUNDAM × MIKU Anniversary Special project.”, is marked NOT FOR SALE, and carries rarity P.
マッチングバトル ran on both days as a walk-up event, open to players who had not won a place in the pre-registered competitions. Prizes went by the number of matches played (1, 3, 7 and 10), and EXRP-020 was the 7-match prize. You did not have to win — you had to play 7 matches — which is why it became one of the most talked-about gifts of this EXPO.

Walk-up event prizes (マッチングバトル, BO3, シールド戦, 2on2, バトルロワイヤル)
These events needed no pre-registered place, and prizes went by number of matches played. マッチングバトル ran both days; 2on2チーム戦 ran on 26 September only and バトルロワイヤル on 27 September only, with the same prizes; シールド戦 meant buying 8 packs of Freedom Ascension [GD05] at its booth and building a deck from them, in groups of 4 playing 3 matches; BO3チャレンジ entry was by lottery at the venue.

FAQ
Where can I buy GCG EXPO 2026 in TOKYO gifts?
Gifts and prizes were not for sale, so after the event the secondary market is the only route. The link under each item searches Collect2Day for Japanese-version listings using Japanese keywords.
How was EXRP-020 EXリソース〈初音ミク〉 obtained?
It was the マッチングバトル 7-match prize. Prizes went by matches played, so playing 7 マッチングバトル matches at the venue earned it.
What is the difference between パラレル and キラ加工?
They are different finishes of the same card. For ST06-009, the top 4 per 256 in the EXPO qualifier received the パラレル version, while 4 qualifier wins earned the キラ加工 version — Bandai states the two differ.
Is there another GCG EXPO?
Bandai has announced GCG EXPO 2026 in OSAKA Nov., on 28–29 November 2026 at ATC Hall in Osaka. Check the official site for its prizes once announced.
