After the tumultuous launch of Pokémon TCG: Journey Together, the market has surprisingly stabilized, offering peace and accessibility to fans. Amazon now lists the Elite Trainer Box at $70.31 and the Booster Bundle at $37.97, both at MSRP, a stark contrast to the scalping frenzy just three weeks ago. It's a refreshing change to see these products readily in stock.

The decline in single card prices has contributed to this calm, dissipating the initial panic-buying frenzy. Journey Together remains an attractive set to open, now more accessible than ever. This relaxed atmosphere around a Pokémon TCG release feels reminiscent of the Stellar Crown era, making it an ideal time to purchase sealed products, especially if you missed out on the chaotic launch week.

The Elite Trainer Box is packed with value: nine Journey Together booster packs, a full-art foil N's Zorua, card sleeves, energy, dice, condition markers, and a code card for Live. It also includes a booklet detailing the cards you're unlikely to pull, adding a touch of realism. This makes it a great choice for both display and a slow-paced opening experience, akin to a daily dose of excitement.

The ETB exclusive card, N's Zorua, is decent, but the chase cards have finally settled at more reasonable prices. Lillie's Clefairy ex SIR, while still pricey at $180, is less than half its pre-order peak. N's Zoroark ex is now around $13, and even the stamped version is affordable. Opening sealed products now feels like a fair gamble.

The Booster Bundle offers six packs without the extras, ideal for those who just want to open packs and enjoy the thrill of the chase. It's more cost-effective than the ETB, especially if you already have enough sleeves and dividers.

The card market for this set has seen a significant drop, making the Booster Bundle a more appealing purchase. Salamence ex SIR, which was once $250, now hovers around $106, likely to settle at $100. Iono's Bellibolt ex, initially thought to be a high-value card, is now around $8, great news for new buyers but a letdown for early investors.

I picked up one of these using a forgotten $10 Amazon credit, and it was a worthwhile risk. One pack with random blister artwork yields ten cards and a mix of excitement or acceptance.

I couldn't resist the charm of this collection, drawn in by the acrylic standee and the quirky Pokémon. It includes six booster packs, a full-art Bellibolt ex, a foil Tadbulb, and fun extras like a sticker and a display backdrop. While not essential, it's a delightful addition for fans of the character. Bellibolt's cards have followed the trend of this set, with the standard full-art now at $7 to $8 and the Special Illustration Rare at $80, a significant drop from their initial hype.
