Pokémon collectors and competitive players alike have one more reason to check Amazon’s TCG deals this week. As of Sept. 22, the Black Bolt Elite Trainer Box (ETB), part of the Scarlet & Violet block, has quietly dropped from its previous list price of $95.49 to just $86.99 on Amazon.
That discount doesn’t sound earth-shattering at first glance, but it puts Amazon in a competitive spot compared with other major retailers in the current card game market. While Walmart is charging a slightly higher $90 for new and sealed ETBs, seller listings at TCGplayer are currently charging $190 at the lowest when shipping costs are taken into account. That’s despite the Black Bolt ETB in general sitting at $86.45 in market price.
Like other modern ETBs, Black Bolt comes packed with nine booster packs, a Thundurus promo card, 65 branded sleeves, a set of Energy, dice, condition markers, and a player’s guide. It’s the kind of bundle that appeals to collectors looking for shelf-worthy sealed product, as well as players who need a solid entry point into the expansion to try and pull some of the valuable chase cards listed below.
The set itself is themed around Unova, with heavy hitters like Zekrom ex and Meloetta ex lurking in the booster packs. For anyone chasing playable staples or eye-catching illustrations, this box offers a solid mix.
