We can all agree that the Pokémon TCG is a hobby that can take a toll on your wallet, but that doesn't mean you have to overspend on cardboard. Amazon has just released some fantastic bundles, including Surging Sparks, Journey Together, and Paldean Fates. If you've been convincing yourself that you're just buying "a few packs for the kids," now's the perfect time to stock up and pretend it's not for you. No judgment here—I'm in the same boat.

Catch Surging Sparks, Journey Together, and Paldean Fates

Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet - Surging Sparks

$54.75 save 18% $45.02 at Amazon

I picked up Surging Sparks because six booster packs for under $50 is a steal compared to Amazon's recent prices (though it's still above MSRP). I was eager to open something new. This set is part of the latest Scarlet & Violet expansion, so if you're trying to keep up with current sets or enjoy the thrill of pulling a good card, this is a smart purchase.

Pokémon TCG: Iono’s Bellibolt ex Premium Collection

$56.18 at Amazon

This collection is perfect for those who value both the cards and the presentation. Iono’s Bellibolt ex Premium Collection comes with 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.

Mass Effect Merchandise

$59.99 at IGN Store

If you've replayed Mass Effect more than once, you'll understand why these statues are tempting. I pre-ordered Jack because, well, it felt necessary. The line includes Shepard, Tali, Legion, and others, and they're impressive enough that I've already cleared space on my shelf. If you're still quoting Garrus, these statues are for you.

Pokémon TCG: Scarlet and Violet: Paldean Fates: Booster Bundle

See it at Amazon

Paldean Fates is priced at double MSRP, but it's also very hard to find in 2025. I grabbed it because the baby shiny sub-set is amazing, but if you're just after the single cards from this set, buying them individually might save you money.

Fellow Traveller Publisher Bundle

Pay less to get fewer items, or pay extra to give more to publishers, Humble, and charity One Tree Planted

$123.00 save 90% $12.00 at Humble

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 strong lineup if you enjoy character-driven games and don't mind the emotional impact of minimalist storytelling.

Pokémon TCG: Scarlet and Violet Shrouded Fable Elite Trainer Box

$54.96 at Amazon

I consider this the all-in-one box for those who want cards and a bunch of extras you might not use but still want to have. It includes nine booster packs, a promo card, sleeves, dice, and more, giving you a structured way to enjoy your card-opening experience.

Pokémon TCG: Terapagos ex Ultra-Premium Collection

$135.00 at Amazon

I hesitated on this one but then remembered it includes 18 booster packs and a playmat. It's a big spend, but if you're looking for a premium bundle that justifies its price, this is it. I bought it for the overall experience rather than individual cards, and that's the best way to approach it.

Pokémon TCG: Shining Fates Collection Pikachu V Box

$53.46 at Amazon

I grabbed the Shining Fates Pikachu V Box 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 your desk. It's a nice throwback if you missed it the first time around.
