After the turbulent launch of Journey Together, it's surprising to see how quickly things have stabilized. Now, you can find the Elite Trainer Box for just $70.31 and the Booster Bundle for $37.97 on Amazon, both at their regular retail prices. These are the same items that were being scalped like precious commodities just a few weeks ago. It's refreshing to see them readily available and in stock.

The drop in single card prices has certainly helped calm the market. The initial frenzy has subsided, leaving us with a beautifully 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. It's an excellent opportunity to purchase sealed products, especially if you missed out during the chaotic launch week.

This box is packed with 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 realism. I enjoy this as a collectible piece and a slow-opening project—think of it as a tiny cardboard advent calendar of hope, one pack at a time.

The ETB's exclusive card, N's Zorua, is decent, but the real chase cards are now at more reasonable prices. Lillie's Clefairy ex SIR, while still at $180, is less than half its pre-order peak. N's Zoroark ex is now around $13, and even the stamped version is more affordable than a movie ticket. If you're considering opening sealed products, now is the time when the value proposition feels fair.

This bundle offers six booster packs, perfect for those who simply want to open packs and enjoy the thrill of the chase. It's more cost-effective than the ETB, and you won't be paying for extras like sleeves or dividers that you might already have.

With the card market for this set experiencing a significant decline, it's now a more appealing purchase. Salamence ex SIR, which was once priced at $250, has fallen to around $106 and is expected to settle closer to $100. Iono's Bellibolt ex, which I thought would be a big hit, is now hovering around $8. While this isn't great for early buyers, it's fantastic news for those just entering the market with a Booster Bundle.

I grabbed one of these using some forgotten Amazon credit, and it turned out to be a good decision. You get one pack with random blister artwork, ten cards, and the chance for either joy or a mild disappointment.

Pokémon TCG: Iono’s Bellibolt ex Premium Collection
Pokémon TCG: Iono’s Bellibolt ex Premium Collection
Includes 2 x Journey Together Packs, available for $56.18 on Amazon.
I picked this up because I love the quirky acrylic standees and the chaotic charm of Pokémon like Bellibolt. It comes with six booster packs, a full-art Bellibolt ex, a foil Tadbulb, and some fun extras like a sticker and a display backdrop. None of it is necessary, but it's certainly enjoyable.
Bellibolt's cards have followed the trend of this set's full arts, with prices dropping significantly. The standard full-art Bellibolt ex is now between $7 and $8, while the Special Illustration Rare version is around $80. This is still pricey, but much more reasonable compared to the early days when it was valued like a rare Iono alt-art. This collection is a great choice for fans of the character, especially now that the market has adjusted to more realistic values.
