After the tumultuous launch of Pokémon TCG: Journey Together, it's surprising to see the market stabilize so quickly. Now, Amazon offers the Elite Trainer Box for $70.31 and the Booster Bundle for $37.97, both at their regular retail prices. These items, which were being resold at exorbitant prices just weeks ago, are now readily available and in stock. It's a refreshing change for fans who have been waiting to get their hands on the set without breaking the bank.

The decline in single card prices has significantly contributed to this calm period. The initial frenzy of panic buying has subsided, leaving a set that remains enjoyable to open and now more accessible to collectors. This is the most relaxed a Pokémon TCG release has felt since Stellar Crown, making it an ideal time to purchase sealed products, especially if you missed out during the chaotic launch week.

This Elite Trainer Box is packed with nine Journey Together booster packs, a full-art foil N’s Zorua, card sleeves, energy cards, dice, condition markers, and a code card for Pokémon Live. It also includes a booklet that details the cards you're unlikely to pull, adding a humorous touch to the experience. This makes it a great choice for both a display piece and a slow-opening project, allowing you to savor the excitement of each pack like a tiny cardboard advent calendar.

For singles, the ETB-exclusive card N’s Zorua is a decent pull, but the more sought-after cards are now at more reasonable prices. Lillie’s Clefairy ex SIR, although still pricey at $180, is significantly less than its pre-order peak. N’s Zoroark ex is now around $13, and even the stamped version is more affordable than a movie ticket. With the current market conditions, opening sealed products now feels like a fair deal.

This bundle contains six booster packs, offering a straightforward way to enjoy the thrill of opening packs without the extra accessories. It's a more budget-friendly option compared to the Elite Trainer Box, perfect for those who already have plenty of sleeves and dividers.

The card market for this set has experienced a sharp decline, making the Booster Bundle a more appealing purchase. For instance, Salamence ex SIR has dropped from $250 to about $106, and it's expected to stabilize around $100. Iono’s Bellibolt ex, once thought to be a high-value card, is now around $8, which is great news for new buyers but not so much for early investors.

I picked up one of these sleeved boosters on a whim, using some forgotten Amazon credit. It turned out to be a decent gamble, offering one pack with random blister artwork and ten cards, leading to either joy or mild disappointment.

Pokémon TCG: Iono’s Bellibolt ex Premium Collection
0Includes 2 x Journey Together Packs$56.18 at Amazon
I couldn't resist this premium collection due to its fun extras, like the acrylic standee and the chaotic charm of Bellibolt. It comes with six booster packs, a full-art Bellibolt ex, a foil Tadbulb, and additional items like a sticker and a display backdrop. While not essential, these extras add a delightful touch for fans of the character.
Bellibolt’s cards have followed the trend of other full arts in the set, experiencing a significant drop in value. The standard full-art Bellibolt ex is now priced at $7 to $8, and the Special Illustration Rare version is around $80. Although still on the expensive side, it's a far cry from the initial hype when it was compared to rare Iono alt-arts. For fans of the character, this premium collection offers charm and value in a market that's no longer overinflated.
