I want to say I have self-control, but when Amazon drops prices on Pokémon cards and limited edition gear, my budget takes the hit. These deals hit that magical combo of actually useful and just tempting enough to justify with "well, it is on sale.Pokémon TCG, DOOM Xbox Controller, and a Last of Us Vinyl SetPokémon TCG Charizard ex Super Premium CollectionXbox Wireless Controller – DOOM: The Dark Ages LE$79.99 at AmazonThe Last of Us 10th Anniversary Vinyl Box Set - 4LP$109.98 at IGN StorePokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet — Journey Together Elite Trainer BoxReturn to Metroidvania Game BundlePokémon TCG - Scarlet & Violet: Journey Together Sleeved BoosterPokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet — Journey Together Booster Bundle$44.04 at AmazonPokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet - Surging SparksPokémon TCG: Iono’s Bellibolt ex Premium Collection$56.18 at AmazonMass Effect Merchandise$59.99 at IGN Store Pokémon TCG: Scarlet and Violet: Paldean Fates: Booster BundleSee it at AmazonFellow Traveller Publisher Bundle Pokémon TCG: Scarlet and Violet Shrouded Fable Elite Trainer Box$54.96 at Amazon Pokémon TCG: Terapagos ex Ultra-Premium Collection$135.00 at AmazonPokémon TCG: Shining Fates Collection Pikachu V Box$53.46 at AmazonPokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet — Journey Together Elite Trainer BoxPokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet — Journey Together Booster BundleLike a Dragon - Kazuma Kiryu - Statue$219.99 at IGN StorePokémon TCG - Scarlet & Violet: Journey Together - Sleeved BoosterTrain Sim world 5 Route Remix BundleLepro O1 AI Floor Lamp$86.39 at AmazonLepro B2 AI Smart Light BulbsPokémon TCG Scarlet & Violet: 151 Booster BundlePokemon TCG Surging Sparks Sleeved Booster Pack$6.59 at AmazonThe Last of Us - Joel With Hatchet Bust$149.99 at IGN StorePokemon TCG: Azure Legends Tin$29.99 at AmazonDice & Destiny Game BundlePokémon TCG - Scarlet & Violet: Journey Together Sleeved BoosterI think today’s lineup is especially worth a look.

I’m glad it’s back and actually on sale. You get a shiny Charizard ex, Charmander and Charmeleon promos, a display figure, and ten booster packs. That’s a solid value for under 50 bucks.Squirtle - 148/142$75.31 at TCG PlayerBulbasaur - 143/142$74.88 at TCG PlayerTerapagos ex - 170/142$57.98 at TCG PlayerDachsbun ex - 169/142$38.00 at TCG PlayerHydrapple ex - 167/142$41.99 at TCG PlayerIn my opinion, this is the kind of product that works for both collectors and anyone trying to build out a fire-heavy deck. The packaging alone makes it feel like a gift, even if you’re just giving it to your future self. You get the following packs:Greninja ex - 214/167 - SV06: Twilight Masquerade$799.95 at TCGPlayerPerrin - 220/167 - SV06: Twilight Masquerade$249.95 at TCGPlayerCarmine - 217/167 - SV06: Twilight Masquerade$174.95 at TCGPlayerEevee - 188/167 - SV06: Twilight Masquerade$89.91 at TCGPlayerBloodmoon Ursaluna ex - 216/167 - SV06: Twilight Masquerade$47.70 at TCGPlayer- Stellar Crown- Twilight Masquerade- Paradox Rift- Temporal Forces- Obsidian FlamesRaging Bolt ex - 208/162$112.94 at TCG PlayerIron Crown ex - 206/162$65.11 at TCG PlayerWalking Wake ex - 205/162$149.95 at TCG PlayerGouging Fire ex - 204/162$56.88 at TCG PlayerGastly - 177/162$50.36 at TCG PlayerXbox Wireless Controller – DOOM: The Dark Ages LEXbox Wireless Controller – DOOM: The Dark Ages LEPre-order now, releases April 30$79.99 at AmazonI want this just to display it. This controller has matte green armor, silver spikes, a sinister red thumbstick, and buttons labeled in the Sentinel alphabet. I’m convinced it could survive a drop from orbit.It’s still a standard Xbox and Bluetooth controller underneath all the theatrics, so it’ll work across consoles, PC, and cloud. I think it’s the best kind of extra. Completely over-the-top, but still totally usable.The Last of Us 10th Anniversary Vinyl Box Set - 4LPThe Last of Us 10th Anniversary Vinyl Box Set - 4LP$109.98 at IGN StoreI don’t even play vinyl and I still want this sitting on my shelf. The music from Last of Us is unforgettable, and this set leans all the way into the emotion. It includes four colored records, a slipcase that looks like it’s been through some stuff, and two beautiful lithographs.Gustavo Santaolalla’s soundtrack is about as iconic as game music gets. In my opinion, if you felt anything during that main theme, you’re going to want this in your collection.Pokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet — Journey Together Elite Trainer BoxPokémon TCG: Scarlet & Violet — Journey Together Elite Trainer BoxI think this box is for anyone who loves both strategy and structure. It comes with nine booster packs, a full-art promo of N’s Zorua, a mountain of energy cards, dice, sleeves, and even a collector’s box with dividers. It’s basically a starter kit for organized chaos.Lillie's Clefairy ex - 184/159$224.74 at TCGPlayerN's Zoroark ex - 185/159$249.97 at TCGPlayerIono's Bellibolt ex - 183/159$149.99 at TCGPlayerHop's Zacian ex - 186/159$100.39 at TCGPlayerN's Zoroark ex - 189/159$62.95 at TCGPlayerIt’s not the cheapest trainer box out there, but the amount of content here definitely gives it an edge if you're all in on the Scarlet & Violet era.Return to Metroidvania Game BundleReturn to Metroidvania Game BundlePay less to get fewer items, or pay extra to give more to publishers, Humble, and charity Cool Effect.This bundle is a steal. For fourteen bucks, you’re getting eight quality indie games, and at least three of them could easily stand on their own. I picked it up for Gato Roboto, which is exactly what it sounds like: a cat in a mech suit.In my opinion, this is ideal for anyone who wants games that actually let you explore and experiment. The titles are highly rated, weird in the best way, and don’t take up 80 gigs of storage. It’s refreshing.Pokémon TCG - Scarlet & Violet: Journey Together Sleeved BoosterPokémon TCG - Scarlet & Violet: Journey Together Sleeved BoosterAlright, I’ll be honest. This one’s a bit of a wildcard. You get one booster pack, randomly selected, and that's it. The listing makes it clear you don’t get to pick the pack art or contents.Maractus - 160/159$2.25 at TCG PlayerArticuno - 161/159$18.69 at TCG PlayerWailord 162/159$14.55 at TCG PlayerIono's Kilowattrel 163/159$12.49 at TCG PlayerLillie's Ribombee 164/159$8.00 at TCG PlayerSwinub 165/159$4.18 at TCG PlayerLycanroc 166/159$4.55 at TCG PlayerN's Reshiram 167/159$16.00 at TCG PlayerN's Reshiram - 167/159 (Journey Together Stamped)$14.12 at TCG PlayerFurret 168/159$8.92 at TCG PlayerNoibat 169/159$6.85 at TCG PlayerHop's Wooloo 170/159$6.10 at TCG PlayerVolcanion ex 171/159$2.35 at TCG PlayerIono's Bellibolt ex 172/159See it at TCG PlayerLillie's Clefairy ex 173/159$17.01 at TCG PlayerMamoswine ex 174/159$2.20 at TCG PlayerN's Zoroark ex 175/159$13.25 at TCG PlayerHop's Zacian ex 176/159$7.45 at TCG PlayerSalamence ex 177/159$3.00 at TCG PlayerDudunsparce ex 178/159$2.65 at TCG PlayerBrock's Scouting 179/159$4.99 at TCG PlayerIris's Fighting Spirit 180/159$4.99 at TCG PlayerVolcanion ex 182/159$23.95 at TCG PlayerIono's Bellibolt ex 183/159$80.00 at TCG PlayerLillie's Clefairy ex 184/159$180.00 at TCG PlayerN's Zoroark ex 185/159$90.00 at TCG PlayerHop's Zacian ex 186/159$49.95 at TCG PlayerSalamence ex 187/159$104.77 at TCG PlayerIono's Bellibolt ex 188/159
