Discounted Pokémon TCG: Journey Together ETBs and Booster Bundles Now Available

After the tumultuous launch of Pokémon TCG: Journey Together, it's surprising to see how quickly things have stabilized. Amazon now offers the Elite Trainer Box for $70.31 and the Booster Bundle for $37.97, both at MSRP. These were the same items that were being scalped just three weeks ago as if they were made of gold-foil Charizards. Now, they're readily available, in stock, and from Amazon. It's a relief to see such calm.

The drop in single card prices has played a significant role in this shift. The initial frenzy of panic buying has dissipated, leaving us with a well-designed set that's enjoyable to open and now accessible to everyone. This is the most relaxed a Pokémon TCG release has felt since Stellar Crown, making it an excellent time to purchase sealed products, especially if you missed out during the chaotic launch week.

This Elite Trainer Box is packed with value: nine Journey Together booster packs, a full-art foil N’s Zorua, card sleeves, energy, dice, condition markers, and a code card for Live. It also includes a booklet detailing what you might not pull, adding a touch of humor. I appreciate this box as both a display piece and a slow-opening project, enjoying one pack a night like a mini cardboard advent calendar of anticipation.

The ETB exclusive card, N’s Zorua, is decent, but the bigger chase cards are finally at more reasonable prices. Lillie’s Clefairy ex SIR remains pricey at $180, though it's significantly less than its pre-order peak. N’s Zoroark ex is now around $13, and even the stamped version is cheaper than a movie ticket. If you're considering opening sealed products, now's the time when the value feels fair.

This Booster Bundle contains six booster packs without any extras. It's ideal for those who just want to open packs and enjoy the thrill of the chase. It's more affordable than the ETB, and you won't pay for additional items like sleeves or dividers that you might already have in abundance.

The card market for this set has seen a significant decline, making the Booster Bundle an even more appealing purchase. Salamence ex SIR has dropped from $250 to about $106, likely to settle around $100. Iono’s Bellibolt ex, which I thought would be a hit, is now around $8. While this is disappointing for early buyers, it's great news for those looking to get in now.

I picked up one of these with $10 of forgotten Amazon credit, and it turned out to be a worthwhile purchase. It's one pack with random blister artwork, containing ten cards and the possibility of either joy or quiet acceptance.

Pokémon TCG: Iono’s Bellibolt ex Premium Collection

0Includes 2 x Journey Together Packs$56.18 at Amazon

I couldn't resist this Premium Collection because of the fun acrylic standees and quirky Pokémon. It includes six booster packs, a full-art Bellibolt ex, a foil Tadbulb, and extras like a sticker and a display backdrop. While not essential, these extras add a delightful charm. Bellibolt's cards have followed the trend of the set's full arts, dropping significantly in value. The standard full-art Bellibolt ex is now $7 to $8, and the Special Illustration Rare is around $80. Although still expensive, it's a far cry from the early days when it was priced like a rare Iono alt-art. This collection is a great pick for fans of the character, especially now that the market has returned to a more sensible valuation.
