If you thought the chaos surrounding the launch of Pokémon Trading Card Game: Scarlet & Violet—Journey Together was over, think again. Amazon currently offers the Elite Trainer Box for $70.31 and the Booster Bundle for $37.97—prices that harken back to their original manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP). These were the same items people were scalping just three weeks ago for what felt like exorbitant sums. Now, they're readily available, in stock, and directly from Amazon. It’s almost surreal.
Discounted Pokémon TCG: Journey Together Elite Trainer Boxes and Booster Bundles
Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet—Journey Together Elite Trainer Box
$99.99 | Save 30% | $70.31 at Amazon
This box is packed to the brim: nine Journey Together booster packs, a stunning full-art foil N’s Zorua, card sleeves, energy packs, dice, condition markers, and a code card for Pokémon Live. You’ll also find a helpful booklet detailing what you might—or might not—pull, which adds a nice touch of nostalgia. I personally love this as both a shelf piece and a slow-burn project. Open one pack each night like a tiny cardboard advent calendar of hope.

Singles-wise, the ETB-exclusive N’s Zorua isn’t bad, but the big chase cards are finally landing where they likely should have started. Lillie’s Clefairy ex SIR remains pricey at $180, though that’s less than half its pre-order peak. N’s Zoroark ex now sits around $13, and even the stamped version is cheaper than a movie ticket. If you’re planning to open sealed product, this feels like the perfect time when the math doesn’t feel like a scam.

$44.99 | Save 16% | $37.97 at Amazon
This bundle includes six booster packs and nothing else—just pure, unfiltered pack-opening excitement. It’s cheaper than the Elite Trainer Box, and you’re not paying extra for things you already own, like sleeves or dividers.

The singles market around this set has taken a nosedive, making this a much more compelling purchase now. Salamence ex SIR plummeted from $250 to roughly $106, and I predict it will stabilize closer to $100. Iono’s Bellibolt ex, which I initially thought would be a powerhouse, is hovering around $8—a stark contrast to earlier prices. While this isn’t great news for early buyers, it’s fantastic for newcomers with a Booster Bundle in hand.

I snagged one of these purely because I had forgotten about some Amazon
