Deals For Today: Pokémon TCG Rare Packs And Crashing Singles

May 5, 2025 Ogghy Filed Under: ENTERTAINMENT, IGN

The Pokémon Trading Card Game singles market has taken a sharp dive, making it an ideal time to pick up high-value cards for less. With prices on many chase cards falling below recent norms, collectors can now complete sets or grab favorites without relying on luck from booster packs.

TL;DR: Deals For Today

Interested in sealed products? Amazon is discounting a selection of TCG boxes and bundles. From legacy boxes to recent releases, many of these products are coming in over MSRP, which is why I want to let readers know that retailers putting pricing up isn’t their only option during Pokémania 2025. TCG Player is a secondary marketplace that is widely used in the US for the gold standard on current Pokémon TCG values thanks to its value tracking across the secondary market. Let’s get into it, regardless of ripping open booster packs or finding that dream chase card:

Infernape V Box

This set comes with four booster packs, a foil Infernape V, a foil Empoleon, and a jumbo-sized Infernape V card. It’s a compact product with good display value and a steady mix of packs. This big box set is one of the only ways to buy Sword and Shield era booster packs at retail, and it’s cheaper than the secondary market right now. Looking for Fusion Strike or Lost Origins singles and sealed product? I’ve got you covered there too:

Azure Legends Tin

This five-pack tin includes a random promo card featuring Kyogre ex, Xerneas ex, or Dialga ex. Two of the packs are from Surging Sparks expansion which is nice to see amongst the mix of Stellar Crown and Temporal Forces. If you’re only after some illustration rares and nothing too expensive, you’ll find plenty of single cards for you binder for less below:

Clair Obsur: Expedition 33 Merch

The IGN Store has launched exclusive merchandise for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. The collection includes prints, hoodies, t-shirts, mugs, and other themed gear. Prices start at $15 with a wide range of characters and designs represented.

Surging Sparks Booster Box

This full booster box contains 36 packs from Surging Sparks. For players who want 36 packs to open in one sitting, this works out the cheapest, but it’s still around $60 above MSRP. Most of the chase cards from this set can be bought for less:

Doom & Wolfenstein Mayhem Game Bundle

Humble’s latest bundle features fifteen games and bonuses from id Software, including DOOM Eternal, DOOM 64, and multiple Wolfenstein titles. It also includes a coupon for 10% off DOOM: The Dark Ages. For $28, the value is strong across retro and modern releases, making this a savage deal for FPS fans.

Terapagos ex Ultra-Premium

This includes 18 booster packs, three exclusive promo cards, a magnetic card holder, a playmat, and a deck box. It’s built for collectors who want full presentation value. Once again, if you just wasnt a certain card, take a look at the singles market before you buy:

Prismatic Evolutions ETB

This box includes nine booster packs, a full-art Eevee promo, 65 themed sleeves, and a wide array of gameplay accessories. This is also nearly three times the MSRP, which is crazy. If you really want to box and contents, go for it, but there’s better options on the secondary market right now:

Shrouded Fable ETB

This ETB focuses on Pecharunt with a sweet looking promo and comes with nine booster packs, themed card sleeves, dice, condition markers, and a collector’s box with dividers. Same situation here, it’s a cool addition to your collection, but this has gone up by around $10 from last week. Meanwhile the singles market is crashing:

Paldean Fates Booster Bundle

This six-pack bundle features cards from the Paldean Fates line, which centers on Shiny Pokémon. The pricing puts it just under the typical cost of buying packs individually, but it’s still expensive compared to the cards that can be bought right now in this set:

Prismatic Evolutions Surprise Box

Each box includes four booster packs and one foil promo featuring a random Eevee evolution. The included storage box has built-in dividers, which helps keep growing collections organized.If you fancy paying $15 per booster and want the stamped regular ex eeveelution card, go for it. The stamped cards go anywhere from $15 to nearly $60, so there’s arguably value in this box when considering the promo.

2004 Pokéball Bundle

Each bundle includes three collectible tins, nine total booster packs, and sticker sheets. This box in particular contains Poké Ball, Premier Ball, and Moon Ball tins.

2004 Pokéball Bundle

The same situation here, but trainers will get Poké Ball, Great Ball, and Ultra Ball tins instead.

Surging Sparks Booster Bundle

One of the cheaper ways to get Surging Sparks boosters right now, albiet overpriced (again). There’s only five cards in Surging Sparks that can’t be bought for under $50, check it out:

151 Poster Collection

If you want to keep this sealed for your collection, go for it. Otherwise, this is a waste of money for three booster packs. Here’s some cool single card options:

Nightmare Frontier, a New Tactical Turn-Based Strategy Game, Announced for PC

May 5, 2025 Ogghy Filed Under: ENTERTAINMENT, IGN

Developer Ice Code Games (Hard West II, Rogue Waters) have announced Nightmare Frontier, a tactical turn-based strategy game that’s also an extraction looter. Think “XCOM meets Hunt: Showdown with a dash of Cthulhu thrown in.” Check out the announcement trailer above and the first screenshots in the gallery below.

The developers describe the setup for Nightmare Frontier as follows: “The story of Nightmare Frontier unfolds in an alternate version of 19th-century America, shortly after a mysterious event that forever changed the world. The line between reality and an unknown horror has started to fade, and those who remain are left to uncover what truly happened that night – and what’s behind the titular Nightmare. The streets were overrun by monsters emerging from the dark abysses of the terror dimension – the survivors called these creatures Dreadweavers. These beings are the physical embodiment of people’s deepest fears. Players will step into the shoes of the ringleader, who, despite overwhelming terror, finds a chance for survival in this new reality. Leading other scavengers, they venture deep into the city, risking everything they have left in search of loot.”

Nightmare Frontier aims to mix turn-based “gun-n-slash” gameplay with gameplay-altering horror, an enticing risk-reward system, and alluring loot. Wishlist Nightmare Frontier on Steam if you’re interested.
