Disney Lorcana Wilds Unknown: Pixar Cards UK Release Guide

Disney Lorcana Wilds Unknown (Set 12) is the most significant Lorcana release since the game launched. For the first time ever, Pixar characters are entering the card game, with Toy Story, The Incredibles, Brave, Monsters Inc., Coco, and Onward all confirmed for the set. UK collectors have a narrow window before the mainstream catches on.

Quick Insights

• Set Number: Disney Lorcana Wilds Unknown is Set 12, published by Ravensburger
• Historic First: This is the first time any Pixar franchise has appeared in Disney Lorcana
• LGS Release: 8 May 2026 at participating Local Game Stores
• Wide Retail Release: 15–18 May 2026 (Amazon, general retailers)
• Collector Verdict: First-appearance Pixar cards from this set are worth prioritising before wide release hype drives prices up, based on Set 1 precedent

What Is Wilds Unknown?

Wilds Unknown is Set 12 in the Disney Lorcana lineup and represents a genuine turning point for the game. Every set so far has drawn exclusively from the Walt Disney Animation Studios catalogue: Elsa, Mickey, Moana, Maleficent. Pixar, despite being a Disney subsidiary for over two decades, has been absent. That changes here.

The confirmed Pixar franchises making their Lorcana debut are: Toy Story, The Incredibles, Brave, Monsters Inc., Coco, and Onward. That is six Pixar properties in one set, across a library that includes some of the most recognisable characters in modern animation.

A critical note on what is not confirmed: Finding Nemo is not in the set, at least not per any official announcement at time of writing. It has appeared on fan wishlists but has not been named in any official Ravensburger reveal or the Lorecast special announcement. Do not let speculation elsewhere mislead you on that one.

Confirmed Pixar Cards So Far

Toy Story Cards

IGN published an exclusive reveal of the first confirmed Toy Story cards. The named cards are:

• Sid Phillips - Toy Surgeon
• Alien - True Believer
• The Claw
• Babyhead - Leader of Sid's Toys
• Hand-In-The-Box - Sid's Toys

Buzz Lightyear and Woody have also been named in connection with the set, though without full card text available at time of writing.

The Incredibles Cards

TechRadar published an exclusive four-card reveal for The Incredibles, confirming that franchise's debut with actual card imagery. This marks the first official visual confirmation of Pixar character cards in Lorcana. Specific card names from that reveal were not detailed in the sources available, so check TechRadar's piece directly for the visuals.

Monsters Inc., Coco, and Onward

These three franchises are confirmed for Wilds Unknown but detailed card reveals have been sparse. More spoilers are likely dropping in the lead-up to the 8 May LGS release. These properties represent underexplored territory for Lorcana collectors despite their strong IP recognition among core Disney fans.

The Collector Case: Is This Another Set 1 Moment?

Here is the investment argument, stated plainly as analysis rather than certainty: first-appearance cards from Set 1 (The First Chapter) carry a premium on the secondary market that later reprints and subsequent sets have not matched. The reason is simple: collector psychology values firsts. First set. First print run. First time a character appears in the game.

Wilds Unknown creates a new category of firsts. These are the first Pixar cards ever printed in Lorcana. Woody's first Lorcana card. Buzz Lightyear's first Lorcana card. Mr. Incredible's first Lorcana card. For collectors, those designations matter, and history suggests the secondary market prices them accordingly once the set is no longer in wide circulation.

There is no secondary market data yet because the set has not released. This is editorial analysis, not reported fact. But the parallel to Set 1 is the right framework. If you were buying Lorcana collector staples from The First Chapter at launch prices and holding them now, you would be happy. The same logic applies here, particularly for foil enchanted versions of the headline Pixar characters.

The counter-argument: Lorcana's player base has grown substantially since Set 1. Print runs are larger. A bigger market can absorb more copies. Scarcity may be less acute than it was in 2023. That is a fair point, and it is why this is a considered bet rather than a guarantee.

UK Pricing and Preorders

No UK GBP pricing for Wilds Unknown booster boxes, starter decks, or the Illumineer's Trove has been officially confirmed as of publication. Standard Lorcana booster boxes in the UK have typically landed in the £90 to £130 range depending on the set and retailer.

Preorders are live at select retailers per IGN. Given IGN also flagged expected stock scarcity based on past Lorcana launches, getting a preorder in before wide release on 15 May is the practical advice here. We are actively tracking pricing at UK retailers including Zatu, Chaos Cards, Magic Madhouse, and Amazon UK. Check back for confirmed GBP prices as they go live, or sign up for our restock alerts.

The Lore Context

Wilds Unknown sits downstream of Winterspell and Whispers in the Well in the ongoing Lorcana narrative. The Great Illuminary is expanding into stranger, wilder territory, which is how Ravensburger justifies pulling in characters from across a wider Disney and Pixar universe. The new locations, the Wilderknot, the Great Empty Sea, and Torchlight Peaks, which anchor this expansion narratively and create thematic coherence for the Pixar debut. Polygon has the most detailed coverage of how the story threads connect if you want the full picture.

What This Means for Different Collector Types

Competitive Players

If you play Lorcana competitively, watch the spoilers carefully. Six new Pixar franchises means a significant number of new mechanics and character abilities entering the format. The meta will shift when the set releases on 8 May 2026.

Serious Collectors

If you collect Lorcana, this set warrants serious attention. First-appearance cards for Toy Story, The Incredibles, Brave, Monsters Inc., Coco, and Onward will not have this designation again. You are buying originals. The window between LGS release on 8 May and wide retail on 15–18 May is when serious collectors typically acquire sealed product before prices shift.

Casual Players and Gift Buyers

If you are a casual player or buying as a gift, the IP alone makes this a strong entry point. Toy Story and The Incredibles are among the most beloved Pixar properties. Demand from non-players picking up cards for their collections is a real factor that moves sealed product prices. This set is likely to have broader cultural appeal than previous Lorcana releases.

The Local Game Store early release date is 8 May 2026. Wider retail, including Amazon and mainstream retailers, is expected between 15 and 18 May 2026.

Which Pixar franchises are confirmed for Wilds Unknown?

Six Pixar franchises are officially confirmed: Toy Story, The Incredibles, Brave, Monsters Inc., Coco, and Onward. These were announced via the official Lorecast special and subsequent media reveals in late April 2026.

Is Finding Nemo in Wilds Unknown?

No. Finding Nemo has not been confirmed for Wilds Unknown in any official Ravensburger announcement or media reveal at time of writing. It is a popular fan wishlist property but should not be treated as confirmed for this set.

How much will Wilds Unknown booster boxes cost in the UK?

UK GBP pricing has not been officially confirmed as of publication. Based on previous Lorcana sets, expect booster boxes to land in the £90 to £130 range. We will update this article with confirmed prices as they become available from UK retailers.

Are first-appearance Pixar Lorcana cards a good collector investment?

There is a reasonable historical case based on Set 1 precedent. First-appearance cards from The First Chapter carry secondary market premiums that later sets have not replicated. Wilds Unknown creates an equivalent category of firsts for Pixar characters. That said, print runs are larger now than in 2023 and no secondary market data exists yet. Treat it as a considered position rather than a certainty.

When should I preorder if I want to buy Wilds Unknown?

Preorders are live now at select UK retailers. IGN has flagged expected stock scarcity based on past Lorcana launches, so securing a preorder before the wide retail window opens on 15 May 2026 is recommended if you plan to buy sealed product.
