Top Deals Today: Pokémon TCG, Mass Effect, More

If you're a Pokémon TCG enthusiast, you know how quickly this hobby can drain your wallet. But that doesn't mean you have to overpay for those coveted cards. Amazon has just released some fantastic bundles that won't break the bank, including Surging Sparks, Journey Together, and Paldean Fates. If you've been telling yourself 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. Don't worry, I'm not judging—I'm doing the same thing.

I also want to highlight the Mass Effect statues available at the IGN Store. If your bookshelf isn't crowded enough with plastic space heroes, now's your chance. Commander Shepard and the crew are up for pre-order, and I've already added Jack to my cart because I enjoy chaos. There's also a Humble Bundle packed with narrative indies that practically scream, "You have emotions, deal with them." All in all, it's a great day to make those impulsive yet justifiable purchases.

I picked up Surging Sparks because getting six booster packs for under $50 is a steal compared to what Amazon has been charging lately (though it's still above MSRP). I wanted something new to open, and since it's part of the latest Scarlet & Violet expansion, it's a smart grab if you're trying to keep up with the current sets or just enjoy the thrill of pulling a good card.

Pokémon TCG: Iono’s Bellibolt ex Premium Collection

This collection is perfect for those who appreciate the presentation as much as the pulls. The Iono’s Bellibolt ex Premium Collection includes six packs, a full-art promo, and an elaborate display sheet. It's a stylish way to get your hands on Journey Together packs along with a fantastic promo card.

Mass Effect Merchandise

Mass Effect Merchandise

$59.99 at IGN Store

If you've replayed Mass Effect more than once, you'll understand why these statues are so tempting. I pre-ordered Jack because, well, it felt necessary. The line includes Shepard, Tali, Legion, and others, and they look good enough 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

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

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

$123.00 save 90%
$12.00 at Humble

This bundle includes 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

Pokémon TCG: Scarlet and Violet Shrouded Fable Elite Trainer Box

$54.96 at Amazon

This box is perfect when you want cards and a bunch of extras you might not use but still want to have. It comes with nine booster packs, a promo card, sleeves, dice, and more to give you a structured approach to your collecting. It's a solid choice if you like a bit of organization with your chaos.

Pokémon TCG: Terapagos ex Ultra-Premium Collection

Pokémon TCG: Terapagos ex Ultra-Premium Collection

$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 one does. I picked it up more for the overall experience than for the individual cards, which is the right approach.

Pokémon TCG: Shining Fates Collection Pikachu V Box

Pokémon TCG: Shining Fates Collection Pikachu V Box

$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 my desk. It's standard fare, but a nice throwback if you missed it the first time around.
