Bandai’s latest Gundam Card Game booster is now available, introducing Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ and Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory to the game alongside more than 100 new cards.

The new “Stardust Trails [GD06]” booster contains 135 standard card types and eight tokens, with headline additions including ZZ Gundam and Judau Ashta alongside Gundam GP01Fb, Gundam GP02A, Kou Uraki and Anavel Gato.

Bandai first revealed Stardust Trails earlier this year, when only its Gundam ZZ and Stardust Memory focus had been announced, but the complete card database has now confirmed the wider lineup available in packs.

Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ originally followed Mobile Suit Z Gundam in 1986, with Judau Ashta becoming the pilot of the powerful transformable ZZ Gundam as the Argama’s battle against Neo Zeon continued.

The series celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2026, making its Gundam Card Game debut particularly well timed, with the new booster also including Elpeo Ple and her Qubeley Mk-II, Mashymre Cello, Roux Louka, Hamma-Hamma, R-Jarja and several other Mobile Suits and pilots from the anime.

Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory reaches its 35th anniversary this year and provides the other major Universal Century focus, recreating the conflict between Federation pilot Kou Uraki and Delaz Fleet ace Anavel Gato following the theft of the nuclear-equipped Gundam GP02A.

Both rival machines receive Legend Rare cards, with Gundam GP01Fb linked to Kou Uraki and Gundam GP02A linked to Anavel Gato, while additional 0083 cards include the original Gundam GP01, Powered GM, GM Custom, GM Cannon II, Xamel, Val Walo, and several Delaz Fleet units.

ZZ Gundam also receives a Legend Rare card, with its ability built around the AEUG trait and also capable of dealing damage across multiple opposing Units when deployed.

The full rarity breakdown consists of 50 Common cards, 36 Uncommon cards, 32 Rare cards, 12 Legend Rare cards, and five Special cards, alongside the eight Token designs.

Stardust Trails extends well beyond its two headline series as well, adding cards from Gundam SEED Destiny, Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX, Turn A Gundam, Iron-Blooded Orphans, Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz, Char’s Counterattack, and several other parts of the franchise.

That wider selection includes machines such as Infinite Justice Gundam, GQuuuuuuX, Turn X, Gundam Bael, Gundam Vidar, Gundam Sandrock Custom, Wing Gundam Zero (EW) and Shining Gundam (Meikyo Shisui), giving existing decks new options alongside the newly introduced Gundam ZZ and 0083 strategies.

The release follows September’s four-deck wave, which introduced Aquatic Assault, Raging Onslaught, Silent Barrage and Heavy Dominion with strategies built around underwater combat, close-range attacks, long-range weapons and heavily armored Mobile Suits.

Bandai is also continuing to expand the game through more franchise-specific releases, including the After War Gundam X 30th anniversary Premium Goods Set featuring newly illustrated Gundam DX, Garrod Ran and Tiffa Adill cards alongside themed accessories.
