After the tumultuous launch of Pokémon TCG: Journey Together, it's surprising to see the market stabilize so quickly. Amazon now offers the Elite Trainer Box for $70.31 and the Booster Bundle for $37.97, both at MSRP. These products, which were once scalped at exorbitant prices, are now readily available and in stock. It's a refreshing change from the chaos of three weeks ago.

The drop in single card prices has contributed to this calm. The initial frenzy has subsided, leaving us with a well-designed set that's enjoyable to open and now accessible to everyone. It's the most relaxed a Pokémon TCG release has felt since Stellar Crown. If you missed out during the launch and watched prices skyrocket on TCGPlayer, now is the perfect time to buy sealed products.

This Elite Trainer 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 includes a booklet detailing the cards you're unlikely to pull, adding a touch of realism. I enjoy this as both a display piece and a slow-opening project, savoring one pack each night like a miniature cardboard advent calendar of anticipation.

The ETB exclusive card, N’s Zorua, is decent, but the real chase cards are now at more reasonable prices. Lillie’s Clefairy ex SIR, while still pricey at $180, is less than half its pre-order peak. N’s Zoroark ex is now around $13, and even the stamped version is cheaper than a movie ticket. Opening sealed products now feels like a fair deal.

This bundle contains six booster packs, perfect for those who just want to open packs and chase exciting cards. It's more affordable than the ETB and doesn't include extras like sleeves or dividers, which you might already have.

The card market for this set has seen a significant decline, making it an intriguing purchase now. Salamence ex SIR has dropped from $250 to about $106, likely to settle around $100. Iono’s Bellibolt ex, once thought to be a high-value card, is now around $8. This is disappointing for early buyers but great news for those entering the market with a Booster Bundle.

I picked up one of these using $10 of forgotten Amazon credit, and it turned out to be a good decision. One pack, random blister artwork, ten cards, and the thrill of the unknown.

I couldn't resist this collection due to my love for quirky acrylic standees and chaotic Pokémon. It includes six booster packs, a full-art Bellibolt ex, a foil Tadbulb, and fun extras like a sticker and a display backdrop. While not essential, these items add charm to the collection.
Bellibolt’s cards have followed the trend of the set's full arts, with prices dropping significantly. The standard full-art Bellibolt ex is now $7 to $8, and the Special Illustration Rare is around $80. Though still pricey, it's a far cry from the early days when it was valued like a rare Iono alt-art. This collection is a fun choice for fans of the character, and I'm happy to pay for the charm now that the market has settled.
