LEGO fans still have time to lock in two of the most anticipated sets of the year. The nostalgic LEGO Icons Retro Game Boy is holding strong in preorder ahead of its August release, and the Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Minifigures pack is also available now with a September 1 drop. Both are likely to sell out closer to launch, so if either is on your list, now’s the time to get ahead of the rush.
Elsewhere, two gorgeous limited-edition vinyls celebrating A Charlie Brown Christmas are still up for preorder. You can choose between the spinning zoetrope picture disc or the new holographic foil sleeve version, both pressed for the 60th anniversary.
And if you’re looking for more great buys today, deals include a buy one get one free deal on the 100W Baseus portable charger for $49.99, the Amazon-exclusive TMNT Sewer Playset at $74.99, and a Hisense 65” Mini-LED Fire TV down to $499.99. Let's get into it.
Once again it's TCGPlayer and the secondary market values saving MTG players and collectors a small fortune over Amazon. Even sale pricing of the Fallout Commander Deck - Science! is $4 cheaper, with my favorite deal in this lineup being for the four pack bundle of Fallout Commander Decks.
Amazon works out at $47.07 per deck, with TCGPlayer massively undercutting here at $41.56. That's well over $10 saving per deck, with even more savings compared to Amazons single pricing overall.
LEGO Game Boy is back up for preorder at Amazon after selling out on it's original allocation, so its a safe bet you'll miss out if you don't preorder.
I've also got three new preorders for LEGO Disney and Spider-Man alongside loads of great discounts on in-demand LEGO sets including Star Wars, Ninjago, Wednesday, Marvel and Disney. Discounts are running up to 37% off, so it's a really good time to pick up a new build.
Whilst there's a couple of savings on Amazon today, TCGplayer is knocking big box retailers out of the water. The White Flare binder box is a couple of dollars cheaper on Amazon, but looking at older sets like Destined Rivals show a clear gap in market value and the notorious Amazon mark ups of 2025.
Destined Rivals Elite Trainer Box is currently sat at $85 on TCGplayer, for example, which is cheaper than the Amazon sale price last week of £88.
Shining Fates Sealed Price Check
Is the Shining Fates Pikachu V Box actually worth getting? Well it's $40 on TCGplayer right now, more than $10 cheaper than Amazon, so on that fact alone yes. For me it comes down to the Pikachu V promo and jumbo card, which are going for a collective $1.90 right now.
You can also grab a full art set of four Shining Fates boosters for $37.91, which means you can get the contents of the box for $39.81. All in all there's not much difference for those looking for everything, but if you're just looking for Shining Fates boosters, it's cheaper to just buy the full art set considering a single booster is $9.99 right now.
Shining / Hidden Fates - Best Chase Cards Today
Prices for Paldean Fates and Hidden Fates Pokémon cards have shifted again this week, with big winners like Mew ex jumping 76% to $389.45 thanks to its powerful ability and incredible SIR artwork. Gardevoir ex is up 51% to $78.99, and Charizard ex continues to climb, now at $160.
Older chase cards from Hidden Fates are also rising again, including Charizard GX (up 12%) and Umbreon GX (up 19%). On the flip side, cards like Pikachu and Charmander from Paldean Fates are down sharply, while shiny favorites like Glaceon GX, Eevee, and Moltres & Zapdos & Articuno GX have also dipped. The market’s clearly leaning toward high-impact Special Illustration Rares over lower-tier shinies this week.
Dropping throughout December 2025, these Fallout Pop Vinyls focused on the Fallout TV series should drop around the same time as Season Two. There's also chances to get a random rare variant, which is about as much Funko hype as I can handle. I've preordered Vault Boy already, but I might get the whole lineup before preorders run dry.
Mini PCs are great for a work from home setup, a bit of light gaming or just saving some space. Both of these models have decent specs whilst being good enough to run Minecraft and your day-to-day productivity apps. Plus they're dirt cheap, so there's nothing to loose.
