The drop in single card prices has contributed to this calm. The initial frenzy has subsided, leaving behind an attractive set that's fun to open and now accessible to everyone. It feels like the most relaxed Pokémon TCG release since Stellar Crown. If you missed out on the launch and watched TCGPlayer listings implode in real-time, now is a great time to buy sealed products.

This 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 includes a booklet detailing the cards you're unlikely to pull—a comforting touch. I enjoy this as a display piece and a slow-opening project. Opening one pack a night feels like a mini cardboard advent calendar of hope.

The ETB exclusive card, N’s Zorua, is decent, but the real chase cards have settled into more reasonable prices. Lillie’s Clefairy ex SIR, once soaring at over $300, is now around $180. N’s Zoroark ex is about $13, and even the stamped version is less than a movie ticket. If you're considering opening sealed products, the current prices make it a more appealing proposition.

This bundle contains six booster packs, perfect for those who simply want to enjoy opening packs and chase exciting cards. It's more cost-effective than the ETB, especially if you don't need extra accessories like sleeves or dividers.

The card market for this set has seen significant price drops, making it an intriguing buy now. Salamence ex SIR, which was once $250, has dropped to about $106 and is expected to settle around $100. Iono’s Bellibolt ex, once thought to be a high-value card, now sits at around $8. While this isn't good news for early investors, it's fantastic for those entering the market now.

I picked up one of these on a whim, using some forgotten Amazon credit. It's a single pack with random blister artwork, offering ten cards and either joy or mild disappointment. It's a fun, low-stakes gamble.

I couldn't resist this collection because of the charming acrylic standee and the quirky Pokémon. It includes six booster packs, a full-art Bellibolt ex, a foil Tadbulb, and some fun extras like a sticker and a display backdrop. While not essential, the charm is undeniable.

Bellibolt's cards have followed the set's trend of declining prices. 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 initial hype. This collection is a fun pick for fans of the character, especially now that the market has calmed down.
