After the chaotic launch of Pokémon TCG: Journey Together, it's surprising to see how quickly the situation has stabilized. Now, you can find the Elite Trainer Box at Amazon for $70.31 and the Booster Bundle for $37.97, both at their regular MSRP. These were the same items that were being scalped just three weeks ago as if they were rare treasures. It's refreshing to see them readily available and in stock directly from Amazon.

The calming of single card prices has played a significant role in this turnaround. The initial frenzy to buy has subsided, leaving us with a well-designed set that's fun to open and finally accessible. This is the most relaxed a Pokémon TCG release has felt since Stellar Crown. It's an excellent time to purchase sealed products, especially if you missed out during the tumultuous launch week and watched prices skyrocket on TCGPlayer.

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 comes with a booklet detailing what you might not pull, adding a nice touch of realism. I appreciate this as both a decorative piece and a project to enjoy slowly, opening one pack each night like a miniature cardboard advent calendar of hope.
The market for singles has seen a significant drop, with the ETB-exclusive N’s Zorua holding steady but not spectacularly. The more sought-after cards like Lillie’s Clefairy ex SIR have fallen to $180, a significant decrease from their pre-order highs. N’s Zoroark ex is now around $13, making it more affordable than ever. If you're thinking about opening sealed products, now's the time when the value proposition feels fair.

This bundle contains six booster packs without any extras. It's perfect for those who just want to open packs and dream of pulling something exciting. It's more budget-friendly than the ETB, and you won't be paying for additional items like sleeves or dividers that you might already have.
The card market for this set has been plummeting, making it an intriguing buy at this point. For instance, Salamence ex SIR has dropped from $250 to about $106, and I expect it to settle around $100. Iono’s Bellibolt ex, which I thought would be a standout, is now hovering around $8. This is tough news for early buyers but great for those joining in now with a Booster Bundle.

I bought one of these mainly because I had $10 in Amazon credit to use, and it turned out to be a good decision. You get one pack with random blister artwork, ten cards, and a mix of excitement or acceptance.

I picked up this collection because I'm a fan of quirky acrylic standees and chaotic Pokémon. It includes six booster packs, a full-art Bellibolt ex, a foil Tadbulb, and some fun extras like a sticker and a display backdrop. None of these are essential, but they certainly add to the charm.
Bellibolt’s cards have followed the trend of this set's full arts, with prices falling rapidly. The standard full-art Bellibolt ex now ranges from $7 to $8, while the Special Illustration Rare is around $80. It's still pricey, but a significant drop from the initial hype. This collection is a great choice for fans of the character, and I'm happy to pay for the charm now that the market has become more reasonable.
