Yu-Gi-Oh!'s 25th anniversary Kaiba briefcase is now up for pre-orders for Europe, Africa, and Middle East regions.

Being made at the height of the global pandemic likely stymied Konami's plans to release this one-of-a-kind product in the rest of the world, but now, Yu-Gi-Oh! fans from three other regions can pre-order Kaiba's briefcase for €399.99. Shipping is expected to begin by early 2024.

The case weighs a whopping 7 Kg (15 lbs) without anything inside, but fully loaded with 7,000 Japanese-sized cards, it'll be pretty heavy. Note that the case includes separators so you can organize
