Top Deals: Pokémon TCG, Mass Effect, and More

Let's face it, the Pokémon TCG can be a costly passion, but that doesn't mean we have to break the bank on cardboard. Amazon has recently rolled out some fantastic deals on bundles like Surging Sparks, Journey Together, and Paldean Fates. If you've been convincing yourself you're just picking up "a few packs for the kids," now's the perfect time to stock up and enjoy some personal indulgence. No judgments here—I'm right there with you, adding to my collection.

I also want to spotlight the Mass Effect statues available at the IGN Store. My bookshelf clearly needs more plastic space heroes, and Commander Shepard and crew are now up for pre-order. I've already added Jack to my cart because who doesn't love a bit of chaos? Additionally, there's a Humble Bundle filled with narrative indies that are perfect for those who appreciate emotional storytelling. It's an excellent day for making those impulsive yet justified purchases.

I snagged Surging Sparks because getting six booster packs for under $50 is a steal compared to recent Amazon prices (though still above MSRP). I was eager to dive into something new, and since it's part of the latest Scarlet & Violet expansion, it's ideal for keeping up with current sets or just enjoying the thrill of pulling a great card.

If you've replayed Mass Effect more than once, you know why these statues are irresistible. I pre-ordered Jack instantly because it felt essential. The collection features Shepard, Tali, Legion, and more, and they're impressive enough to earn a spot on my shelf. If you're still quoting Garrus, these are definitely for you.

Pokémon TCG: Scarlet and Violet: Paldean Fates: Booster Bundle

Paldean Fates is priced at double MSRP but is also hard to find in 2025. I picked it up because of the adorable baby shiny sub-set, but if you're only interested in specific cards, buying them individually might be more cost-effective.

This bundle includes some of the best narrative indies from recent years. I opted for the $12 tier, added the games to my ever-growing backlog, and immediately started playing The Pale Beyond. It's a fantastic selection if you enjoy character-driven games and don't mind the occasional emotional impact of minimalist storytelling.

I hesitated at first but then remembered this collection includes 18 booster packs and a playmat. It's a significant investment, but if you're looking for a premium bundle that justifies its price, this is it. I bought it more for the overall experience than for individual cards, which is the best way to approach it.

I picked up the Shining Fates Pikachu V Box because I never got around to opening it when it first came out, and now seemed like the perfect time. It includes four booster packs, a Pikachu promo, and an oversized card that usually ends up near my desk. It's a nostalgic treat if you missed it the first time around.
