The lowest listings on TCGplayer, a marketplace for cards and sealed products, sit at $118.60. Preorders opened at around $140 on Amazon about a week earlier.\n\nAn Elite Trainer Box, or ETB, is the boxed set Pokémon sells for its trading card game (TCG). This one holds nine Delta Reign booster packs, a full-art foil Kyogre promo card, 65 card sleeves, 40 Energy cards, seven dice, a plastic coin, six dividers, a collector's box, a player's guide and a Pokémon TCG Live code card. By our arithmetic, $113.99 works out to $12.67 per pack before counting the extras, against $15.32 at Amazon's price.\n\nThe \"save over $20\" framing mostly reflects how high Amazon's price is. Against the market estimate, Walmart is about 4% lower. The expansion has over 135 cards, and the draw for many buyers is the Special Illustration Rares, the scarce full-art cards collectors hunt, such as Mega Rayquaza ex, Raikou ex and Mega Golurk ex. Packs are random, so a box buys odds at those cards, not the cards themselves. The deal write-up pointed to Japanese versions of those cards, sold as singles on TCGplayer, as a preview.\n\nTreat the numbers with some care. They come from one deal write-up, which included no comment from Walmart or The Pokémon Company. It does not give a release date or say how long the Walmart price will hold.\n\nThe three prices span $23.90, from $113.99 at Walmart to $137.89 at Amazon. Amazon's price accounts for $19.04 of that spread over the market estimate, and Walmart's for only $4.86.","[\"pokemon\",\"trading-cards\",\"preorders\",\"walmart\"]","2026-10-16T10:51:47.000Z","2026-10-18T12:52:34.384Z","2026-10-18T12:52:36.787Z","published",null,[24],{"id":25,"reviewer":26,"round":27,"reason":28,"status":29},"editor-r1","editor",1,"The figures all check out ($23.90, $4.86, $12.67 and $15.32 per pack), but the draft states unsupported claims as fact: that preorders usually carry a premium over where a sealed box ends up trading, that a retailer landing below market this early is 'unusual', and the closing prediction about retailers undercutting one another.
