A Pokemon TCG preorder is already below market before the set even hits shelves.
The Pokemon TCG Mega Evolution Pitch Black 3-Booster Pack Blister (Binacle) is listed at $39.93 on Amazon, down from a $45.99 list price — a saving of $6.06. Price tracker camelcamelcamel confirms this is the all-time low for this listing. TCGplayer puts the current market price at $42.44, so Amazon lands $2.51 below that benchmark. The Pitch Black expansion is still a few weeks from release, which makes preorder discounts at this level unusual.
The per-pack math is where the deal gets clearer: individual Pitch Black booster packs run $19.95 each on Amazon, meaning three separate packs would cost $59.85. The blister brings that down to $13.31 per pack. Amazon also includes a 30-day refund and replacement window, a protection TCGplayer third-party listings typically skip.
The blister contains three sealed booster packs, a foil promo card featuring Binacle, and the usual mix of 10 game cards, one Basic Energy card, and a TCG Live code card per pack. Pitch Black is headlined by Mega Darkrai ex and includes more than 115 cards total. Other Pitch Black preorder discounts will likely appear closer to launch — so if the price drops further, Amazon's return window gives some insurance.
