After the chaotic launch of Pokémon TCG: Journey Together, it's surprising to see the market stabilize so quickly. Amazon now offers the Elite Trainer Box at $70.31 and the Booster Bundle at $37.97, both at MSRP. These items, which were once scalped at premium prices, are now readily available and in stock. It's a refreshing change from the usual post-launch frenzy.

The drop in single card prices has significantly contributed to this calm. The initial rush to buy has dissipated, leaving 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 invest in sealed products, especially if you missed out during the hectic launch week and watched prices soar on TCGPlayer.

This Elite Trainer Box is packed with goodies: nine Journey Together booster packs, a full-art foil N’s Zorua, card sleeves, energy, dice, condition markers, and a code card for Live. It also comes with a booklet detailing what you're unlikely to pull, adding a comforting touch. It's perfect as a display piece and for a leisurely opening experience, akin to a tiny cardboard advent calendar of hope.

The ETB exclusive card, N’s Zorua, is decent, but the real chase cards are now at more reasonable prices. 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. Opening sealed products now feels like a fair deal.

This bundle contains six booster packs, perfect for those who just want to open packs and enjoy the thrill of the chase. It's more affordable than the ETB and doesn't include extras like sleeves or dividers, which you might already have.

The card market for this set has seen a significant decline, making the Booster Bundle an even more appealing purchase. Salamence ex SIR has dropped from $250 to about $106, likely to settle around $100. Iono’s Bellibolt ex, once thought to be a high-value card, is now around $8. This is great news for new buyers but not so much for early investors.

I picked up one of these using $10 of forgotten Amazon credit, and it turned out to be a good decision. It's one pack with random blister artwork, ten cards, and the potential for either joy or quiet resignation.

I couldn't resist this collection due to my love for quirky acrylic standees and chaotic Pokémon. It includes 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 the set's full arts, with prices falling rapidly. The standard full-art Bellibolt ex is now $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 fun choice for fans of the character, especially now that the market has returned to more reasonable prices.
