Let's face it: the Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG) can be a wallet-endangering hobby, but that doesn't mean we have to overpay for our beloved cardboard treasures. Amazon has come through with some fantastic bundles that include Surging Sparks, Journey Together, and Paldean Fates. If you've been telling yourself you're buying "a few packs for the kids," this is your chance to stock up and keep up the pretense that it's not really for you. Trust me, I'm doing the same thing—no judgment here.

I also want to highlight the Mass Effect statues available at the IGN Store. My bookshelf was apparently not crowded enough with plastic space heroes, so I pre-ordered Jack because, well, I enjoy chaos. Commander Shepard and the rest of the crew are up for grabs too. Additionally, there's a Humble Bundle packed with narrative indies that seem to say, "you have emotions, deal with them." It's shaping up to be a great day for some justified, impulsive purchases.

I picked up Surging Sparks because six booster packs under $50 is a better deal than what Amazon has been offering lately (though still above MSRP). I wanted something new to crack open, and since it's part of the latest Scarlet & Violet expansion, it's a great choice if you're trying to keep up with the current sets or just enjoy the thrill of pulling a good card.

If you're a Mass Effect fan who's replayed the series more than once, you'll understand why these statues are so tempting. I pre-ordered Jack immediately because, well, it felt necessary. The line includes Shepard, Tali, Legion, and others, and they look so good that I've already cleared space on my shelf. If you still quote Garrus unironically, these statues are definitely for you.
Pokémon TCG: Scarlet and Violet: Paldean Fates: Booster Bundle
Pokémon TCG: Scarlet and Violet: Paldean Fates: Booster Bundle
Check it out at Amazon.
Paldean Fates is priced at double the MSRP, but it's also hard to find in 2025. I grabbed it because the baby shiny sub-set is awesome. However, if you're just looking to buy single cards from this set, you might actually save money that way.

Fellow Traveller Publisher Bundle
Choose to pay less for fewer items, or pay more to support publishers, Humble, and charity One Tree Planted. Originally $123.00, now save 90% and get it for $12.00 at Humble.
This bundle includes some of the best narrative indies from recent years. I opted for the $12 tier, added the games to my backlog, and immediately started playing The Pale Beyond. It's a strong 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
Pokémon TCG: Scarlet and Violet Shrouded Fable Elite Trainer Box
Available for $54.96 at Amazon.
I consider this the all-in-one box for those who want cards and a bunch of accessories you might not use but still want to have. It comes with nine booster packs, a promo card, sleeves, dice, and other extras to make you feel like you're doing more than just opening packs. It's a great choice if you like having a structured approach to your collecting.

Pokémon TCG: Terapagos ex Ultra-Premium Collection
Pokémon TCG: Terapagos ex Ultra-Premium Collection
Priced at $135.00 at Amazon.
I hesitated on this one but then remembered it includes 18 booster packs and a playmat. It's a significant investment, but if you've been waiting for a premium bundle that justifies the price, this one fits the bill. I bought it more for the experience than for the individual cards, which is the right approach.

Pokémon TCG: Shining Fates Collection Pikachu V Box
Pokémon TCG: Shining Fates Collection Pikachu V Box
Available for $53.46 at Amazon.
I grabbed the Shining Fates Pikachu V Box mainly because I never opened it when it first came out, and now seemed like a good excuse. It includes four booster packs, a Pikachu promo, and an oversized card that usually ends up somewhere near my desk. It's standard fare, but a nice nostalgic treat if you missed it the first time around.
