How to buy the Polaroid × Pokémon cameras in the Philippines: eBay proxy shopping is the most direct route
According to Polaroid’s release information, the series is sold through Polaroid’s own site and Pokémon Center in the US, UK and Canada, among other channels. The Philippines is not one of the release markets, and Polaroid’s Philippines site lists all nine items as “Unavailable in your country”. Polaroid’s US site sells the range but ships only to US addresses, and as of 13 October 2026 all three cameras, the strap and the camera case were sold out.
With the official store out of stock, US eBay has the most supply, as many US buyers resold their units soon after launch. The catch is that many US sellers ship only within the US, and some do not accept overseas cards. Buy&Ship is an official eBay partner: send us the link to a “Buy It Now” listing, confirm the quote and pay, and we place the order and ship it from our US warehouse to the Philippines.
If you already have an eBay account, you can also buy or bid yourself, use your Buy&Ship US warehouse address at checkout, and have the parcel forwarded, which saves the proxy service fee. Auction listings need to be bid on yourself, because Buy&Ship proxy shopping handles fixed-price listings only. The comparison table below sets out the differences.
Why collectors want this series: Polaroid’s first Pokémon collaboration
This is Polaroid’s first collaboration with Pokémon, and one of the Pokémon 30th-anniversary releases. It was sold as a limited run, with a limit of three of each camera per account on Polaroid’s site. As of 13 October, all three cameras were sold out on the US site, and new units on eBay were generally listed above the original price.
Each camera keeps its standard Polaroid internals; the collaboration is in the design. The Go Gen 3 Pikachu edition is fully yellow with a Pikachu-tail strap, the Sylveon edition is pink and white with a ribbon-coloured strap, and the Now Gen 3 comes in red-and-white Poké Ball colours.
The 3 Polaroid × Pokémon cameras, with US official and eBay prices
eBay prices are the asking-price range for new, “Buy It Now” listings located in the US, not sold prices.
1. Polaroid Go Generation 3 – Pikachu Edition
The most popular piece in the series. A fully yellow body with a Pikachu-tail strap; Polaroid calls the Go the world’s smallest analog instant camera. It has a selfie mirror, self-timer and double exposure, and uses Polaroid Go film. It has the most eBay listings, so you have the widest choice of sellers.
Official price US$99.99 (approx. ₱6,278) · sold out
eBay US$135–200 (approx. ₱8,477–12,558)
2. Polaroid Go Generation 3 – Sylveon Edition
A pink-and-white body with a strap in Sylveon’s ribbon colours, and the same specifications as the Pikachu edition. Its eBay price range is close to the Pikachu edition’s; if you prefer softer colours, it is the easier one to wear every day.
Official price US$99.99 (approx. ₱6,278) · sold out
eBay US$135–225 (approx. ₱8,477–14,128)
3. Polaroid Now Generation 3 – Poké Ball Edition
The only classic-size camera in the series, in red-and-white Poké Ball colours, with autofocus. It uses i-Type film and produces larger photos than the Go. It is the scarcest of the three on eBay: as of 13 October there were only two new, in-hand units located in the US, and most other listings were presales, so move early if you want one.
Official price US$139.99 (approx. ₱8,790) · sold out
eBay in-hand approx. US$175–180 (approx. ₱10,988–11,302)
*Official prices and stock checked on Polaroid’s US site on 13 October 2026. eBay prices are the asking-price range on the same day for new, “Buy It Now” listings located in the US, excluding bundles and presales; some sellers also charge US domestic shipping. Prices and stock change, so go by what you see when you order. Converted at US$1 ≈ ₱62.79, before the proxy service fee and international shipping.
What a Pikachu camera costs, delivered: about ₱11,124 via proxy shopping for a US$150 listing
Taking a new Go Gen 3 Pikachu edition listed at US$150 on eBay, bought through Buy&Ship proxy shopping and delivered to your door, the costs are roughly:
| Item | Cost |
|---|---|
| Item price (eBay listing at US$150) | approx. ₱9,419 |
| US domestic shipping | Depends on the seller; free in this example |
| Proxy service fee (from 6% of the item price) | from approx. ₱565 |
| International shipping (approx. 2 lb: ₱620 first lb + ₱520) | approx. ₱1,140 |
| Estimated total | from approx. ₱11,124 |
Buy&Ship Philippines charges US-warehouse shipments by actual weight. The rate used here is ₱620 for the first pound and ₱520 for each additional pound, with home delivery; another delivery option, with a different rate, is listed on the shipping rates page. Anything under 1 lb is charged as 1 lb. Full details are on the shipping rates page.
Ship more than one parcel together: each shipment under 1 lb is charged as 1 lb, so if you are also buying other items from US stores, consolidate them with your camera into one shipment (up to 20 lb per consolidated shipment) and pay on the combined weight.
Proxy shopping or forwarding: which suits you?
The cameras are now only available on resale platforms such as eBay. Proxy shopping takes care of sellers who ship only within the US and of payment, which makes it the easier route for most readers.
| Buy&Ship proxy shopping | Self-checkout + forwarding | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | No eBay account, or would rather not deal with US sellers and payment | Existing eBay account, comfortable shopping overseas |
| Seller ships to US only | We place the order; you don’t need a US address | Use your Buy&Ship US warehouse address |
| Auction listings | Not available; “Buy It Now” listings only | Bid yourself and ship to the US warehouse if you win |
| Payment | Pay through your Buy&Ship account | Pay eBay directly with a method it accepts |
| Cost | Item + proxy service fee (from 6%) + international shipping | Item + international shipping |
If you are buying more than one camera, you can have several eBay listings bought through proxy shopping and consolidate them at the US warehouse. Further reading: US Pokémon cards: an eBay buying guide.
4 things to check before buying on eBay
1. Match the film to the camera
The Go Gen 3 Pikachu and Sylveon editions take Polaroid Go film, while the Now Gen 3 Poké Ball edition takes i-Type film. The two formats are different sizes and are not interchangeable, so pick the camera whose film you can get easily.
2. Tell in-hand listings from presales
Many eBay listings say “PRESALE” or “Pre-Order” in the title, which means the seller does not have the item yet. Listings that say “In Hand” or “NEW Sealed” and show photos of the actual item are safer. When searching, filter by “Buy It Now”, “New” and “Item Location: US Only”.
3. Compare bundles with camera-only listings
Some listings bundle the camera with film packs or accessories at a noticeably higher price. Compare camera-only listings first. Note that film appears on the Philippine restricted-items list, so ask our customer service before buying a bundle that includes film.
4. Check the restricted-items list before shipping
Each overseas warehouse has its own restricted items, and the lists are updated from time to time. Before you order, check the Buy&Ship restricted items page for the US warehouse’s current rules.
