The hype is real for licenced LEGO sets coming out in September and October. LEGO Game Boy had sold out it's preorder allocations in the US, but Amazon have now dropped additional preorder stock for those who missed the first wave. Love LEGO minifigures? How about a minifigure of every Spider-Man across the Spider-Verse? Yes please. Even LEGO Disney are getting in on the action with Wall-E and Cruella De Vil Car sets, not to mention the deals i've found on fan-favorite sets such as LEGO Star Wars R2-D2.
Outside of LEGO, INIU have their best sellers on sale right now. We're talking Power Banks of all shapes and sizes, including one's with built in USB-C cables and smart watch chargers. There's a few charging station options on sale too, from simple charging stands with wireless charging to full portable solutions for phones, ear buds and smart watches. Let's dig into today's deals:
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.
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.
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.
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.
Scarlet and Violet 151 card prices continue to shift, with Charizard ex, Blastoise ex, and Venusaur ex SIRs climbing steadily thanks to standout artwork, competitive playability, and high collector demand. Charizard has jumped to $210, Blastoise is up 28% to $84.99, and Venusaur is up 27% to $69.99. Zapdos ex and Alakazam ex are also on the rise, with Alakazam seeing the biggest gain of 35% to $44.98.
On the other hand, prices for Kanto starter Illustration Rares like Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle have dipped as more product floods the market. Charmander is down 14% to $44.44, Bulbasaur is down 18% to $32.20, and middle evolutions like Charmeleon and Wartortle are following the same trend. While the final evolutions remain the most sought-after, now is a good time to pick up the earlier stages at a more reasonable price.
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.
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.
INIU are hands down the best-selling portable charging brand right now, and I can personally vouch for them. There's something for every use case in this sale, from a 100W powerhouse that's great for handheld gaming top ups for $53.45 to a keychain power bank with a smart watch charger for $24.98. There's no excuse for your tech loosing charge on the go with these deals, so do yourself a favour.
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.
