Top Deals Today: Pokémon TCG, Mass Effect, and More

Author : Penelope Update : May 12,2025

Let's face it, the Pokémon TCG can be a costly passion, but that doesn't mean you have to break the bank for your cardboard treasures. Amazon has just released some fantastic bundles that won't drain your wallet, including Surging Sparks, Journey Together, and Paldean Fates. If you've been convincing yourself that you're just buying "a few packs for the kids," now's the perfect time to stock up while pretending it's not for you. No judgment here—I'm doing the same thing.

I also want to highlight the Mass Effect statues available at the IGN Store. My bookshelf apparently needed more plastic space heroes, so I pre-ordered Jack because chaos is my middle name. Commander Shepard and the crew are also up for grabs, and if you're still quoting Garrus, these are a must-have. Additionally, there's a Humble Bundle filled with narrative indies that are perfect for those who enjoy a good emotional rollercoaster. Today is a great day for some well-justified impulse buys.

Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet - Surging Sparks

0$54.75 save 18%$45.02 at Amazon

I picked up Surging Sparks because getting six booster packs for under $50 is a steal compared to recent Amazon prices (though it's still above MSRP). I was eager to open something new. This set is part of the latest Scarlet & Violet expansion, so if you're trying to stay current or just love the thrill of pulling a great card, this is a smart choice.

Pokémon TCG: Iono’s Bellibolt ex Premium Collection

0$56.18 at Amazon

This collection is perfect for those who appreciate both the cards and the presentation. Iono’s Bellibolt ex Premium Collection includes six packs, a stunning full-art promo, and an elaborate display sheet. It's a great way to get Journey Together packs along with an impressive promo card.

Mass Effect Merchandise

0$59.99 at IGN Store

If you've replayed Mass Effect more than once, you know why these statues are tempting. I pre-ordered Jack because it felt necessary. The line includes Shepard, Tali, Legion, and others, and they look so good that I've already cleared space on my shelf. If you're still quoting Garrus unironically, these are definitely for you.

Pokémon TCG: Scarlet and Violet: Paldean Fates: Booster Bundle

0See it at Amazon

Paldean Fates is priced at double MSRP, but it's also incredibly hard to find in 2025. I grabbed it because the baby shiny sub-set is amazing, but if you're just after the single cards from this set, buying them individually might save you money.

Fellow Traveller Publisher Bundle

0Pay less to get fewer items, or pay extra to give more to publishers, Humble, and charity One Tree Planted$123.00 save 90%$12.00 at Humble

This bundle features some of the best narrative indies from recent years. I paid $12, added the games to my backlog, and immediately started playing The Pale Beyond. It's a strong lineup if you enjoy character-driven games and don't mind being emotionally moved by minimalist storytelling.

Pokémon TCG: Scarlet and Violet Shrouded Fable Elite Trainer Box

0$54.96 at Amazon

This box is perfect for those who want cards and a bunch of extras. It includes nine booster packs, a promo card, sleeves, dice, and more, making you feel like you're getting more than just packs. It's a great option if you enjoy a bit of structure with your chaos.

Pokémon TCG: Terapagos ex Ultra-Premium Collection

0$135.00 at Amazon

I hesitated on this one but then remembered it includes 18 booster packs and a playmat. It's a big spend, but if you're looking for a premium bundle that justifies the price, this is it. I bought it more for the experience than the individual cards, and that's the right approach.

Pokémon TCG: Shining Fates Collection Pikachu V Box

0$53.46 at Amazon

I grabbed the Shining Fates Pikachu V box because I never opened it when it first came out, and now seemed like a good time. It includes four booster packs, a Pikachu promo, and an oversized card that usually ends up near your desk. It's standard but a nice throwback if you missed it the first time around.
