After the chaotic launch of Journey Together, I never anticipated it would stabilize so quickly. Yet, here we are with Amazon offering the Elite Trainer Box for $70.31 and the Booster Bundle for $37.97, both at MSRP. Just three weeks ago, these items were being scalped as if they were made of gold-foil Charizards. Now, they're readily available and in stock from Amazon. This level of availability is a refreshing change for any Pokémon TCG fan.

What remains is a well-designed set that's enjoyable to open and now accessible to everyone. This is the most relaxed a Pokémon TCG release has felt since Stellar Crown. It's an excellent time to purchase sealed products, especially if you missed out during the launch week and watched TCGPlayer listings skyrocket.

I appreciate this as both a display piece and a project to slowly open, enjoying one pack each night like a miniature cardboard advent calendar of anticipation.

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. If you're considering opening sealed products, now is the time when the value proposition feels fair.

Salamence ex SIR has dropped from $250 to about $106, and it's likely to settle around $100. Iono’s Bellibolt ex, which I thought would be a hit, is now around $8. This is disappointing for early buyers but great news for those entering the market with a Booster Bundle.

Pokémon TCG: Iono’s Bellibolt ex Premium Collection
### Pokémon TCG: Iono’s Bellibolt ex Premium Collection
0Includes 2 x Journey Together Packs$56.18 at AmazonI couldn't resist this collection due to my love for quirky acrylic standees and chaotic Pokémon. It comes with 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 this set's full arts, experiencing a sharp decline in value. The standard full-art Bellibolt ex now ranges from $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 great pick for fans of the character, and I'm happy to pay for the charm now that the market has returned to more reasonable levels.
