Top Deals: Pokémon TCG, Mass Effect, and More

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.

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 craving something new to open, and since it's part of the latest Scarlet & Violet expansion, it's a great choice if you're trying to stay current or just love the thrill of pulling a good card.

If you've replayed Mass Effect more times than you can count, these statues are a tempting addition. I pre-ordered Jack because, well, it felt necessary. The lineup includes Shepard, Tali, Legion, and more, and they're so well-crafted that I've already cleared space on my shelf. If you're still quoting Garrus, these are definitely for you.

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

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

This box is the ultimate package 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 choice if you enjoy a bit of structure with your card-opening chaos.

I hesitated on this one but then remembered it comes with 18 booster packs and a playmat. It's a significant investment, but if you're looking for a premium bundle that justifies its price, this is it. I bought it more for the overall experience than for individual cards, and that's the best way to approach it.

I grabbed the Shining Fates Pikachu V Box because I never opened it when it first came out, and now seemed like the perfect time. It includes four booster packs, a Pikachu promo, and an oversized card that usually ends up near my desk. It's a nostalgic treat if you missed it the first time around.
