After the chaotic launch of Pokémon TCG: Journey Together, it's surprising to see how quickly the market has stabilized. Amazon now offers the Elite Trainer Box for $70.31 and the Booster Bundle for $37.97, both at essentially their manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP). These were the same items that were being scalped just weeks ago as if they were rare collectibles. Now, they're readily available and in stock directly from Amazon, which is a welcome change.

The decline in single card prices has contributed to this calm. The initial frenzy to buy has subsided, leaving behind a well-designed set that's enjoyable to open and now accessible to everyone. This might be the most relaxed a Pokémon TCG release has felt since Stellar Crown. It's an excellent time to purchase sealed products, especially if you missed out during the launch and watched prices skyrocket on platforms like TCGPlayer.

The Elite Trainer Box is packed with value: 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 that outlines what you're unlikely to pull, adding a touch of realism to the excitement. This box is perfect as both a display piece and a slow-opening project, akin to a tiny cardboard advent calendar filled with hope.

For individual cards, the ETB-exclusive N’s Zorua is decent, but the more sought-after cards are now at more reasonable prices. Lillie’s Clefairy ex SIR remains expensive at $180, though significantly lower than its pre-order peak. N’s Zoroark ex is around $13, and even the stamped version costs less than a movie ticket. Now is an ideal time to open sealed products without feeling like you're getting ripped off.

The Booster Bundle contains six booster packs with no extras. This set is perfect for those who just want to open packs and chase exciting pulls. It's more affordable than the ETB, and you're not paying for additional items you might already have.

The market for this set has seen a significant drop, making the Booster Bundle a more appealing purchase. Salamence ex SIR has fallen from $250 to around $106, likely to settle near $100. Iono’s Bellibolt ex, which was expected to be highly valuable, is now around $8. This is disappointing for early buyers but great news for those just entering the market with a Booster Bundle.

I bought one of these mainly because I had $10 in Amazon credit that I forgot about, but it turned out to be a good decision. It's one pack with random blister artwork, containing ten cards, which can bring either joy or a quiet acceptance of the odds.

I purchased this collection because I'm drawn to quirky items like acrylic standees and fun Pokémon. It comes with six booster packs, a full-art Bellibolt ex, a foil Tadbulb, and additional items like a sticker and a display backdrop. While these extras aren't necessary, they add a fun element that I enjoy. Bellibolt’s cards have followed the trend of other full arts in this set, with prices dropping significantly. The standard full-art Bellibolt ex is now $7 to $8, and the Special Illustration Rare is around $80. Although still pricey, it's a far cry from the initial hype. This collection is a great choice for fans of the character, especially now that the market has returned to more reasonable levels.
