Amazon’s latest preorder price is only $2 above market value.
Amazon offers the Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution Chaos Rising Sleeved Booster Pack for $12.99 with free delivery, sold by MVP Marketplace. It is still higher than TCGplayer’s lowest unopened presale listing of $10.89, but Amazon’s price is now much closer to the current market value.
As of April 30, Amazon’s prices on the Chaos Rising expansion have begun to stabilize compared to other online retailers. While delivery dates are showing as early as May, the pack isn’t out until May 22. This means orders likely won’t arrive until after the release date.
Amazon’s pricing, although not the lowest, demonstrates significant improvement compared to previous listings. The current $12.99 price is only $2.07 above TCGplayer’s listed market price of $10.92 and $2.10 above the lowest unopened presale listing of $10.89 on the same site.
If you prioritize cost savings over Amazon’s convenience, TCGplayer offers unopened presale listings starting at $10.89 with six sellers and a median price of $10.93.
The Sleeved Booster Packs for Pokémon TCG Chaos Rising come with 10 random trading cards and a code card for Pokémon Trading Card Game Live.
To reduce the cost per booster pack even further, consider purchasing the six-pack Pokémon TCG Perfect Order Booster Bundle for around $40. Also available is the new Pokémon TCG Ascended Heroes Mega Feraligatr ex Box, which is on sale at $8 off.
