We can all agree that the Pokémon TCG is a thrilling yet wallet-challenging hobby. However, there's no need to overpay for those coveted cards. Amazon has recently released some fantastic bundles that offer great value, including Surging Sparks, Journey Together, and Paldean Fates. If you've been rationalizing your purchases as "just a few packs for the kids," now's the perfect time to stock up—while convincing yourself it's not for you. No judgment here; I'm in the same boat.

I also want to highlight the Mass Effect statues available at the IGN Store. If you think your bookshelf isn't crowded enough with plastic space heroes, consider adding Commander Shepard and the crew to your collection. I've already pre-ordered Jack because, well, chaos is fun. Additionally, there's a Humble Bundle filled with narrative-driven indie games that promise to tug at your heartstrings. It's a great day to indulge in some well-justified impulse buys.
Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet - Surging Sparks
I picked up Surging Sparks because six booster packs for under $50 is a better deal than what Amazon has offered recently (though it's still above MSRP). I was eager for something fresh to open. As part of the latest Scarlet & Violet expansion, it's perfect for those looking to stay current with the sets or enjoy the thrill of pulling a valuable card.

Pokémon TCG: Iono’s Bellibolt ex Premium Collection
This bundle is ideal for collectors who appreciate both the aesthetics and the thrill of the pull. The Iono’s Bellibolt ex Premium Collection includes six packs, a full-art promo card, and an impressively detailed display sheet. It's a great way to get your hands on Journey Together packs along with a stunning promo card.

Mass Effect Merchandise
If you've replayed Mass Effect multiple times, you'll understand the allure of these statues. I pre-ordered Jack without hesitation because she felt necessary. The collection includes Shepard, Tali, Legion, and more, all of which are beautifully crafted and have earned their spot on my shelf. If you still quote Garrus unironically, these statues are a must-have.
Pokémon TCG: Scarlet and Violet: Paldean Fates: Booster Bundle
Paldean Fates is priced at double the MSRP, but it's incredibly rare in 2025. I grabbed it for the adorable shiny baby subset, but if you're just after specific cards, buying them individually might be more cost-effective.

Fellow Traveller Publisher Bundle
This bundle offers some of the best narrative indie games 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 compelling lineup for those who enjoy character-driven games and the emotional impact of minimalist storytelling.
Pokémon TCG: Scarlet and Violet Shrouded Fable Elite Trainer Box
This is the ultimate all-in-one box for those who want cards and a variety of accessories. It comes with nine booster packs, a promo card, sleeves, dice, and more, making it feel like you're getting more than just packs. It's perfect for those who appreciate a bit of structure with their chaos.

Pokémon TCG: Terapagos ex Ultra-Premium Collection
I hesitated at first, but then I remembered it includes 18 booster packs and a playmat. It's a significant investment, but if you're looking for a premium bundle that justifies its price, this one delivers. I bought it more for the overall experience than the individual cards, which is the best way to approach it.

Pokémon TCG: Shining Fates Collection Pikachu V Box
I picked up the Shining Fates Pikachu V box because I never opened it when it was first released, and now seemed like the perfect opportunity. It includes four booster packs, a Pikachu promo card, and an oversized card that usually ends up near your desk—a classic yet nostalgic package.
