Cardcaptor Sakura: Clow Card Magic Limited Edition

Cardcaptor Sakura Clow Card Magic Limited Edition is the magical-girl PS1 box that fans of CLAMP have hunted for years. This Japan-exclusive limited release packs the game with a dark transparent PocketStation, a pink lanyard, the Animetic Story Game 1: Cardcaptor Sakura script book, a picture, a picture frame, and the rivets to assemble it.

Cardcaptor Sakura was the CLAMP phenomenon that crossed over from manga to anime to PS1 and back again. The Clow Card Magic title was the visual-story style game built around capturing the Clow Cards Sakura faces in the series, with Animetic Story Game's signature blend of animation and interaction. Anyone who watched Sakura battle Yue with Kero shouting from her shoulder knows exactly what this title meant to the moment.

The dark transparent PocketStation is the rarity here. PocketStation was already a Japan-only peripheral, and the Cardcaptor Sakura set came with one of the most distinctive shells in the lineup, dark and translucent with the magical-girl branding baked in. Pair that with the script book, the picture-frame assembly kit, and the pink lanyard, and you have one of the most fully-realized fan packages of the entire PS1 era.

Japan exclusive. CLAMP licensing makes any reissue impossible. Sealed copies are at museum prices. For anime collectors, for CLAMP fans, for anyone who watched Cardcaptor when it first aired, this is the heirloom.
