VSTAR Universe is a Japanese-language release (set code S12a), released in Japan on Dec 2, 2022. This page lists 351 cards — 172 in the numbered set plus 179 secret rares beyond the printed total with US TCGplayer market prices for the Japanese printings. They are separate products from their English counterparts, so the prices are not comparable. 351 of them currently carry a TCGplayer market price: the median is $0.57, 42 cards sit at $10 or more and 11 at $50 or more.
The chase card is Giratina VSTAR #261 (Ultra Rare) at $298.72. Buying one of every priced card at market would run about $2,397, and the ten most expensive cards account for 55% of that total, so most of the set's value is concentrated in a handful of hits while the remaining cards can be picked up for a few dollars each.
Every VSTAR Universe card and sealed product page has a button that opens eBay already filtered to Buy It Now listings at least 12% below its TCGplayer market price.

Japanese sealed products are listed with their US market price only. Japanese boxes and packs use different configurations from English ones and the site has no Japanese pull-rate data, so no expected value is computed.
