Phantasmal Flames is arguably the best first expansion for a new era of Pokémon cards, and Mega Evolution was already looking really good. Mega Charizard X heading up this set is such a win, as Charizard is arguably the real mascot of Pokémon over Pikachu (I love them both, don't hurt me)
For Cyber Monday, Amazon has dropped the price on its Phantasmal Flames Booster Box from $279.99 to its lowest price yet, $254.99, which is also $15 cheaper than TCGPlayer's lowest listing right now. Bargain, catch it before it runs away.
36 booster backs are inside, which is the best feeling in the world when you're ripping everything open in one go. Surprisingly, there seem to be quite a few Mega Charizard X ex SIRs and Hyper Gold Rares floating around.
I don't have numbers or anything to back this up, but there are a lot more posts in Pokémon TCG community groups finding these over previous sets. Maybe that's just due to more stock being available thanks to increased print runs starting to finally surface?
Who knows, but it's awesome for collectors and players alike.
There's more bangers to pull in this set too, such as Dawn - 129/094 for some Diamond and Pearl Nostalgia, Mega Sharpedo ex - 127/094 with some amazing comicbook color use, and even the Alt Ultra Rare Mega Charizard X ex looks amazing with that classy use of neon green and pink to make Mega Zard x stand out.
