If you're sick of looking at the insane pricing of Pokémon TCG at big box retailers, I'm here to help. I've gone through the Amazon's latest stock updates, and I've found some deals that are either in-line with their current value on the collectors market, or below if you're quick enough. ETBs, Booster Bundles, Big box ex collections, single boosters and more, I've got you covered in today's daily deals.
There's some awesome preorders up for console and PC gamers too. Metal Gear Solid Δ: Snake Eater is available to preorder for $52.38 for the standard edition and $59.87 for the digital deluxe edition. Expedition 33 is getting an Amazon exclusive physical editions for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X that drops on New Years Eve, more information on both below.
I've even dragged up the best prices for hot Pokémon TCG singles with the latest set from Japan, Mega Brave and Mega Symphonia and the latest edition of Crashers and Climbers, of which there's some amazing bargains for those holding off on Shrouded Fable and Stellar Crown. Let's get into it:
TCGPlayer is showing up Amazon's predatory pricing practices with Pokémon TCG, with up to 10% on some of the latest sets, including Black Bolt, White Flare, Destined Rivals and more. Still above MSRP, but its by far the best deal players and collectors are going to get on sealed ETB's right now.
Booster Bundles are even cheaper, and again from the most popular Scarlet and Violet sets. Prismatic Evolutions is 21% cheaper, Black Bolt is 22% down, White Flare is 18% and Destined Rivals is a moddest 8% down. Don't pay more when you don't have too.
Binder boxes, special collections and more are the big box Pokémon TCG products that make great gifts that usually come with a few exclusive pormo cards and other cool swag that can only be found in these boxes. Infact, if you're just after the bits and bats inside, you can usually find seperate listings on TCGPlayer for just that to save a few dollars.
With up to 44% off booster tins, blisters and single packs, it's an absolute no-brainer hopping over to TCGPlayer over Amazon. It's actually amazing that some of these products are nearly double the price of the secondary market, but I'm here to save you some money after all!
Japan's Mega Brave and Mega Symphonia Pokémon TCG sets have quickly gained popularity with collectors and competitive players alike, thanks to their focus on iconic Mega Evolutions, powerful Supporter cards, and premium artwork. High-value chase cards like Mega Gardevoir ex 092/063 and Mega Lucario ex 092/063 are priced at $664 and $444 respectively, while many others remain above the $100 mark.
These sets combine strong gameplay mechanics such as Psychic energy acceleration and hard-hitting Fighting-type attacks with visually stunning Special and Ultra Rare treatments that elevate their appeal. Booster boxes and Premium Trainer Boxes are available on TCGPlayer and include guaranteed rare pulls due to Japanese packaging rules. While the most expensive cards draw attention, more affordable options like Lillie’s Determination 086/063, Mega Kangaskhan ex SAR, and Mega Absol ex SAR offer great value with solid gameplay and collector-friendly art, making these sets a standout release for fans looking for both playability and display-worthy cards.
Stellar Crown’s Illustration Rares like Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Terapagos ex are dropping fast, with nostalgia-driven hype fading as supply grows and competitive players move on. Squirtle is down about 32% since February and Bulbasaur is down 31%, both sliding because their gameplay value is minimal. Earthen Vessel and the Special Illustration Rare Fezandipiti ex are also slipping, while Terapagos ex has been hit hardest, losing over half its value.
On the other hand, Shrouded Fable cards with practical utility are steadily climbing. Hyper Rare Basic Darkness Energy has gained around 17% as Dark-focused decks get more popular, and Dusclops is creeping up thanks to its creative ability. Even the Double Rare Fezandipiti ex is bucking the trend, nearly doubling in value as competitive players embrace it. Smaller gains from Powerglass and Okidogi ex reinforce the idea that functional, playable cards are holding their ground while flashy artwork is losing steam.
Fanatical is offering Steam pre-purchases of METAL GEAR SOLID Δ: SNAKE EATER, the stunning Unreal Engine 5 remake of the legendary 2004 stealth-action game. The Standard Edition is available for $52.38, while the Digital Deluxe Edition is marked down to $59.87 (normally $79.99 — 25% off). The Deluxe upgrade comes with exclusive pre-order bonuses, 48-hour early access, and the Sneaking DLC Pack, which includes multiple alternate uniforms, masks, and cosmetic extras. With rebuilt visuals, immersive 3D audio, and modernized controls, this Cold War-era tale of betrayal, survival, and espionage is more gripping than ever.
