Beam Me Up Bundle vs. standard Bundle: what the extra $30 buys

The official contents side by side, including the pack trade-off, promo treatment and regional delay.

THE SHORT ANSWER

At the listed U.S. MSRPs, Beam Me Up is $99.99 versus $69.99 for the standard Bundle. It replaces one of nine Play Boosters with a Collector Booster, changes the basic-land treatment and includes two schematics promos instead of one standard Bundle promo.

Both products supply nine boosters in total, but not the same kind of nine. Beam Me Up’s premium comes from the Collector Booster and the guaranteed presentation differences. It does not include nine Play Boosters plus a Collector Booster. [1]

Each Beam Me Up Bundle contains two of eight traditional foil schematics promo cards depicting Spacecraft. That does not guarantee the particular ship you want or all eight promos.

A useful way to judge the premium

The MSRP gap is $30. Wizards’ separate pack MSRPs are $37.99 for a Collector Booster and $6.99 for a Play Booster. Swapping one for the other has an arithmetic pack-MSRP difference of $31. That comparison helps explain the bundle positioning, but does not value the promos or tell you what a shop should charge. [1]

Use actual delivered prices when shopping. If the Beam Me Up premium is much larger than $30 at a retailer, ask whether the exclusive promos and land treatment are worth that additional amount to you. Do not count a hoped-for rare pull as part of the guaranteed contents.

Who each version suits

Choose the standard Bundle if your main goal is opening Play Boosters, you like the holodeck lands and the lower purchase price fits your budget. Its contents are straightforward to compare with loose Play Boosters.

Choose Beam Me Up if you specifically want a Collector Booster, away team basics and the schematics promos. For somebody collecting one exact promo, buying the single can be a more direct route than repeatedly buying a randomized promo selection.

These are editorial fit judgments based on contents. We have not measured expected pack value, pull rates or future resale performance.

Release date does not equal arrival date

Star Trek’s global tabletop release is November 13, 2026. Wizards’ November 5 shipping update says North American Beam Me Up Bundles arrive after that date. It also lists delays in other regions with different wording and timelines. Confirm the seller’s actual dispatch expectation before paying for a release-day gift. [1], [2]

An in-stock standard Bundle and a preorder Beam Me Up Bundle should not be compared as if both can ship immediately. Keep the delivery date beside the price.

Before checkout

  1. Verify the exact product name and language.
  2. Compare the delivered premium, not only the advertised box prices.
  3. Check whether your preferred promo is guaranteed; here, the selection is two of eight.
  4. Read the regional delay notice and the retailer’s dispatch policy.
  5. Keep random hits separate from the contents you are certain to receive.
