Looking for the best preorder deal on Magic: The Gathering current sets or preorders? Of course you are, why wouldn't you be? Avatar: The Last Airbender, Marvel's Spider-Man, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are either hitting playmats or are on the slate for later this year and next year. You can even bust out your Fallout chops in a game of MTG if you want, which for me is the real "magic" of the worlds biggest trading card game.
If you're looking to cut the cord with cable, then Hulu + Live TV is one of the best alternatives around right now. Hulu + Live TV is a complete streaming package that includes Hulu (with ads) plus over 95 channels of live TV service, Disney+ (with ads), and ESPN+ (with ads). It's normally $85 per month for the package, but for a limited time you can get your first 3 months of $64.99 with no hidden fees to worry about. That means you've got access to the massive Disney catalog that includes the Marvel movies and TV shows, Star Wars movies and TV shows, Pixar movies, and so much more.
One of the biggest catches today is the Final Fantasy collectors edition commander deck set. Amazon thinks it can draw $760.23 out of your bank account, and I think not. TCGPlayer is selling this bundle for $555, that's just over $205 cheaper. You could literally preorder a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Play Booster Box with the money saved here. It pays to shop around, and i've already done that for you, so have a glide through the carousel for over 20 price checked deals so you know you're not wasting money and time.
Kicking off with the Mega Evolution Elite Trainer Box, we know $92.65 isn't MSRP and Amazon should be selling it as such, but this is how it is in Pokémania 2025 for now. It's 7% below the current market value and a good deal if you're struggling to get stock. Meanwhile the Mega Evolution three pack blister is only a dollar cheaper, but that dollar is better in your pocket. The other savings range between $1 to $5, so fill your boots!
TCGPlayer is really showing up big box retailers. The secondary market is saving trainers a fortune right now, and will continue doing so until the Pokémon Company floods the marketplace with sealed product, which will happen eventually. A good example here is the Surging Sparks ETB, which is currently $92.94 on Amazon. If you check over on TCGPlayer right now, you'll pay $74.95. That's nearly $20 over market value, and there's plenty more where that came from in the carosel above.
New game mode aside, MTGs latest Universes Beyond addition is another huge IP with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Play Boosters are available, so getting a box is a great idea before preorders sell out and it becomes harder to build a deck. The Commander Deck is ideal if you want a solid foundation for a game of Commander but want to modify it with single cards down the line. Of course, the TMNT bundle comes with a few goodies including 9 play boosters, foil alt art promo card, 30 land cards and some tidy accessories.
It's nearly time trainers! Thursday see's the release of the most radiacally different mainline Pokémon game, Legends: Z-A. Set as a continuation of Pokémon X and Y and continuing the game mechanic changes seen in Legends: Arceus, Legends: Z-A is going full real-time combat over it's tried and tested turn-based battle style. It's going to be a landmark moment for the worlds most popular entertainment franchise, so make sure you have your preorder in.
Well, Xbox isn't in the good books of gamers worldwide right now, but you can dodge the Game Pass (eventual) price hike with 3 months of Ultimate for $59.99, which is $30 cheaper than the dramatic price hikes. If you're on Xbox, this is a good time to stack up on Game Pass.
We gave Final Fantasy IX a 9.2 back in 2000, so $40 for a JRPG classic isn't much to ask, right? Well if the re-release hasn't sold you on it's own, this version comes with high resolution cut scenes, and game modifiers including high speed and no encounter modes topped off with an Auto Save function. Also, character models are high resolution now too, so this physical edition of FFIX should wet you nostalgia appetite.
