Here’s your weekly Pokémon TCG pricewatch and stock update, and it’s an absolute banger. Amazon seem to be listening to me and the rest of community calling out their ridiculously high pricing on Pokémon TCG right now, but probably not. Regardless, we’re seeing their exclusive Blaziken ex and Volcanion ex Premium Collection in stock for MSRP. That’s right, no price hikes and no where near it’s market value that’s north of $90. Could this mean something positive for the future of Pokémon TCG at Amazon?
TL;DR: Deals for Today
Unfortunatley that’s where the hope ends for big box retailers. TCGplayer is cheaper on every in-stock Pokémon sealed product on Amazon right now. There’s usually one or two, but it’s looking grim for them. For you it’s great, as you’re getting the proper market value from Prismatic Evolutions Booster Bundles ($59.96) and Surprise Boxes ($43).

Trainers and collectors will get five Destined Rivals Boosters and five Journey Together Boosters in this bad boy, so that’s about the right kind of ball park for ten booster packs, plus you’re getting the promo Volcanion ex and Blaziken ex promo card and a jumbo version of Blaziken ex.
I think these promo’s would work great together in a fire-themed deck. Use Blazikens Seething Spirit to grab fire energy from your discard pile to build up Volcanion. In the meantime Volcanion can burn opposing Pokémon then use Scorching Cyclone for 160 damage then transfer all it’s energy to a benched Pokémon. So many possibilities here.
Poké Price Check: Mega Evolution In Stock
Mega Evolution seems to be a well-printed start to the next era of Pokémon TCG. I’m seeing boosters in convienience stores and some products on physical shelves, not to mention the Booster Bundle ($52.89), Gardevoir ETB ($88.81) and Three Booster Blister ($28.90) available on Amazon. Like the rest of the products in this carousel though, the cheapest is TCGplayer right now.
