I’ve been keeping a close eye on Pokémon TCG prices lately, and it looks like TCGPlayer is quietly winning the battle against Amazon right now. Elite Trainer Boxes like White Flare and Destined Rivals are dropping well below what Amazon is asking, and even smaller sets like the Slashing Legends Tin or Surging Sparks boosters are going for way less if you know where to look.
TL;DR: Deals For Today
On the flip side, Amazon is clearly the place to be if you’re hunting Funko Pops. I honestly did a double take when I saw Horsea for just $4.31 — that’s less than the cost of a booster pack. There are also solid discounts on fan favorites like 10-inch Pikachu and Mewtwo, plus some new preorders for Turtwig, Ninetales, and Absol if you’re into expanding your shelf before the holidays.
Pokémon TCG ETBs and Booster Bundles
When it comes to sealed Pokémon TCG products, the real bargains today are on ETBs and booster bundles. White Flare is sitting at just $75 on TCGPlayer, which is a nice break from the usual $90+ price tags. Even the newer Destined Rivals and Black Bolt boxes are running cheaper there than anywhere else. And if you don’t want to spring for a full ETB, Prismatic Evolutions booster bundles are going for as low as $59, which feels like an easy pickup if you’re chasing singles without committing to a whole box.
Pokémon TCG Collections, Tins and Boosters
If you’re more into variety packs than full ETBs, there are some great grabs in the collections and tins today. Cynthia’s Garchomp ex Premium Collection is down to $45 on TCGPlayer, which feels like a steal compared to Amazon’s $60 tag. The Slashing Legends Tin also jumped out at me at $29.99—that’s nearly half off what Amazon is charging. Even the smaller items are worth a look: Surging Sparks sleeved boosters are going for just $7.93, which is $15.98 on Amazon currently.
Pokémon Funko Pop! Preorders
I’m also eyeing a few of the new Funko Pop! preorders that just went live. Turtwig drops at the end of September for $15.99, while Ninetales and Absol are both set for mid-December at $14.99 each. These usually disappear around launch week, so if you’re the type who likes locking in new releases before they vanish, it’s probably worth snagging them now instead of hunting later at inflated prices.
Pokémon Funko Pop! Deals
Amazon’s been quietly slashing prices on a bunch of Pokémon Funko Pops, and some of them are cheaper than a booster pack. The biggest surprise for me was Horsea at just $4.31—that’s wild considering it normally goes for $12.99. There are plenty of others worth adding to your shelf too, like Fidough for $7.99, Dratini for $11.30, and even the 10-inch Pikachu for $62, which is a solid drop from its usual $75.99. Whether you’re filling gaps in your collection or just want a budget-friendly pick-up, today’s lineup has a nice mix of starters, legendaries, and fan favorites.
