Toreca Dream Expands to Kumamoto with Exciting New Store
On January 30, 2026, the specialized trading card vending machine brand, Toreca Dream, is set to open its newest location at Aeon Mall Kumamoto. This marks the brand’s first foray into Kumamoto Prefecture, establishing its second presence in the Kyushu area. The new store promises to be a vibrant hub for trading card enthusiasts, particularly those seeking rare Pokémon cards.
A Unique “Gacha” Experience for Collectors
At the heart of the Toreca Dream experience is its unique vending machine system, where customers can enjoy a “gacha” format to acquire highly sought-after rare cards, with a strong focus on Pokémon cards. This method, akin to a treasure hunt, adds an element of surprise and excitement to every purchase. The brand’s concept, “traveling the world to enjoy new encounters (cards) in various places (vending machines),” aims to offer an engaging experience for everyone, from local residents to tourists.
Beyond Pokémon, the store will feature a diverse lineup of popular titles, including One Piece Card and Duel Masters. Toreca Dream prides itself on offering PSA10 graded cards, new packs, and machines with unique concepts, ensuring that each visit offers something new and exciting. This approach has allowed the brand to appeal not only to hardcore TCG fans but also to families and casual players.
Grand Opening Events and Exclusive Giveaways
To celebrate its grand opening, Toreca Dream Aeon Mall Kumamoto will host a special three-day event from January 30 (Friday) to February 1 (Sunday), 2026. During this period, the first 100 visitors each day will receive a Pokémon card as a special gift. Additionally, customers who make purchases from the vending machines will have the chance to participate in a lottery for luxurious prizes.
