I've Just Caught Discounted Pokémon TCG: Journey Together ETBs and Booster Bundles

After the chaotic launch of *Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet—Journey Together*, I didn't anticipate such a swift recovery. Yet, here we are, with Amazon offering the Elite Trainer Box for $70.31 and the Booster Bundle for $37.97, both at their standard retail prices. Just three weeks ago, these were the items that scalpers were treating as if they were made of gold-foil Charizards. Now, they're readily available, in stock, directly from Amazon. It's a surprising, yet welcome, return to normalcy.

The drop in single card prices has been a game-changer. The frenzy of early panic-buying has subsided, leaving us with a visually appealing set that's still enjoyable to open and now more accessible than ever. It's the most relaxed Pokémon TCG release since *Stellar Crown*. If you missed out on the launch week chaos and watched TCGPlayer listings collapse in real time, now is the perfect time to pick up some sealed products.

This box is packed with value: 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 comes with a booklet that outlines the odds of what you might pull, adding a touch of realism to your expectations. I appreciate this as both a display piece and a slow-opening project—think of it as a tiny cardboard advent calendar of anticipation.

The ETB exclusive card N’s Zorua holds its own, but the real chase cards are now more reasonably priced. Lillie’s Clefairy ex SIR, once a sky-high $180, is now less than half its pre-order peak. N’s Zoroark ex is around $13, with even the stamped version costing less than a movie ticket. If you're considering opening sealed products, the current market conditions make it a far less risky endeavor.

This option is straightforward: six booster packs without any extras. It's perfect for those moments when you just want to tear into packs and chase after exciting pulls. Priced lower than the ETB, it's a cost-effective choice, especially if you don't need additional accessories like sleeves or dividers.

The card market for this set has experienced a significant decline, making it an intriguing purchase. Salamence ex SIR, which once reached $250, is now hovering around $106 and expected to stabilize near $100. Iono’s Bellibolt ex, initially hyped, now sits at a modest $8. While disappointing for early buyers, it's great news for those jumping in now with a Booster Bundle.

I grabbed one of these with a forgotten $10 Amazon credit, and it turned out to be a worthwhile bet. It's one pack with random blister artwork, containing ten cards that can bring either excitement or calm acceptance.

Picking up this sleeved booster was a spontaneous decision fueled by unused credit, yet it proved to be a smart move. With one pack and ten cards, it's a compact thrill that can either delight or resign you to your fate.

I couldn't resist this collection due to my weakness for quirky acrylic standees and the charm of Bellibolt. It comes with six booster packs, a full-art Bellibolt ex, a foil Tadbulb, plus extras like a sticker and a display backdrop. While these extras aren't essential, they certainly add to the fun. Bellibolt's card values have followed the set's trend of declining prices, with the standard full-art now at $7 to $8, and the Special Illustration Rare at $80. This collection is a great pick for fans of the character, and I'm happy to invest in charm when the market has come back to earth.
