Top Deals: Pokémon TCG, Mass Effect Items, and More

Author : Penelope Update : May 21,2025

Let's face it, the Pokémon TCG can be a costly hobby, but that doesn't mean we have to break the bank for our beloved cardboard. Amazon has just released some fantastic bundles, including Surging Sparks, Journey Together, and Paldean Fates. If you've been telling yourself you're just picking up "a few packs for the kids," now's your chance to stock up and maintain the illusion that it's not for you. No judgment here—I'm doing the same thing!

I also want to highlight the Mass Effect statues available at the IGN Store. My bookshelf clearly needs more plastic space heroes, right? Commander Shepard and the crew are up for pre-order, and yes, I've already added Jack to my cart because chaos is my thing. There's also a Humble Bundle packed with narrative indies that seem to say, "You have emotions, deal with them." All in all, it's a perfect day for some well-justified impulsive shopping.

I picked up Surging Sparks because getting six booster packs for under $50 is a steal compared to recent Amazon prices (though it's still above MSRP). I was craving something new to open, and it's part of the latest Scarlet & Violet expansion. If you're trying to stay current with sets or just love the thrill of pulling a good card, this is a smart choice.

This collection is perfect for those who appreciate both the cards and the presentation. Iono’s Bellibolt ex Premium Collection includes six packs, a full-art promo, and an elaborate display sheet. It's a great way to get Journey Together packs along with a stunning promo card.

If you've replayed Mass Effect more times than you'd like to admit, these statues are irresistible. I pre-ordered Jack because, well, it felt essential. The lineup includes Shepard, Tali, Legion, and others, and they're so well-designed that I've already cleared space on my shelf. If you still quote Garrus unironically, these are definitely for you.

Paldean Fates is priced at double the MSRP, but it's incredibly hard to find in 2025. I grabbed it for the baby shiny subset, which is amazing. If you're just after specific cards from this set, buying them individually might actually save you money.

This bundle features some of the best narrative indies from recent years. I paid $12, added the games to my backlog, and immediately started playing The Pale Beyond. It's a great lineup if you enjoy character-driven games and don't mind being emotionally moved by minimalist storytelling.

Pokémon TCG: Scarlet and Violet Shrouded Fable Elite Trainer Box

This box is the ultimate package for those who want cards and a bunch of extras. It includes nine booster packs, a promo card, sleeves, dice, and more—everything to make you feel like you're doing more than just opening packs. It's a solid choice if you like a bit of structure with your chaos.

I hesitated on this one but then remembered it comes with 18 booster packs and a playmat. It's a significant investment, but if you're looking for a premium bundle that's worth the price, this fits the bill. I bought it more for the overall experience than for individual cards, and that's the right approach.

I grabbed the Shining Fates Pikachu V because I never opened it when it first came out, and now seemed like a good time. It includes four booster packs, a Pikachu promo, and an oversized card that usually ends up near my desk—standard fare, but a nice throwback if you missed it initially.
