After the turbulent launch of Pokémon TCG: Journey Together, it's surprising to see how quickly the situation has stabilized. Now, you can find the Elite Trainer Box for just $70.31 and the Booster Bundle for $37.97 at Amazon, both at their regular prices. These items, which were once scalped at exorbitant rates, are now readily available, signaling a return to normalcy that's quite refreshing for fans.

The decline in single card prices has certainly contributed to this calm. The initial frenzy to buy has dissipated, leaving behind a well-designed set that's enjoyable to open and now accessible to everyone. This relaxed atmosphere is reminiscent of the Stellar Crown release, making it a perfect time to invest in sealed products, especially if you missed out during the chaotic launch week.

This 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 comes with a booklet detailing the cards you're unlikely to pull, adding a touch of humor to your collection. I find this box perfect as both a display item and a project for slow opening, enjoying one pack each night like a miniature advent calendar filled with anticipation.

The ETB exclusive card, N’s Zorua, is decent, but the real chase cards are now at more reasonable prices. Lillie’s Clefairy ex SIR, while still pricey at $180, is significantly lower than its pre-order peak. N’s Zoroark ex is now around $13, and even the stamped version is more affordable than a movie ticket. With these prices, opening sealed products feels like a fair deal.

This bundle contains six booster packs, perfect 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 plenty of sleeves and dividers.

The card market for this set has seen a significant drop, making it an intriguing purchase now. Salamence ex SIR has fallen from $250 to about $106, and I expect it to settle around $100. Iono’s Bellibolt ex, once thought to be a high-value card, is now around $8. This is great news for new buyers but less so for early investors.

I picked up one of these on a whim, using some forgotten Amazon credit. It was a good decision; one pack, random blister artwork, and ten cards that could bring either joy or a quiet acceptance of fate.

I couldn't resist this collection, drawn in by the quirky acrylic standees and the chaotic charm of Bellibolt. It includes six booster packs, a full-art Bellibolt ex, a foil Tadbulb, and some fun extras like a sticker and a display backdrop. While not essential, these items add a delightful touch to any collection.

Bellibolt’s cards have followed the trend of the set, with prices dropping significantly. The standard full-art Bellibolt ex is now $7 to $8, and the Special Illustration Rare is around $80. Though still pricey, it's a far cry from the early days when it was valued like a rare treasure. This collection is a great pick for fans of the character, especially now that the market has settled down.
