Pokémon TCG 30th Celebration ETB Preorders Live at Amazon
IGN • • technology
Key Points:
- Amazon US is using an invite request system for Pokémon TCG preorders, a method previously seen mainly in Amazon UK, marking a new approach in the US market.
- The current preorder listing for a Pokémon TCG Elite Trainer Box (ETB) is priced significantly lower than the market average of $178 on TCGplayer, offering about a $90 discount.
- Orders placed through Amazon's preorder system are protected by a price guarantee, ensuring customers pay the lowest price between preorder and delivery, with payment charged only upon shipment.
- Despite the discounted price, collectors must decide if the ETB is worth purchasing, as finding Pokémon TCG products at MSRP remains challenging and market prices often reflect collector demand.
- Other Pokémon TCG restocks available on Amazon include First Partner Illustration Collection Series 3, Destined Rivals ETBs, and Prismatic Evolution Super Premium Collections, all priced close to current market rates.
