The Pokémon TCG community wasn't expecting major restocks until later in 2025, but Amazon just changed the game. While everyone is obsessing over Prismatic Evolutions and hunting Rival Destinies, savvy collectors are scooping up older Scarlet & Violet and Sword & Shield sets before they vanish completely.
A Collector's Market Shifts Suddenly
This surprise restock brings back ETBs, Big Boxes, Booster Bundles, and more—direct from Amazon Global. They've pulled inventory from international markets to meet US demand, creating a rare buying opportunity before these sets become scarce again.
The best part? This flood of product makes scalping much harder. I've organized everything by category to help you find exactly what you need.
Elite Trainer Boxes (ETBs)
These box sets are becoming increasingly rare as we move deeper into 2025. Twilight Masquerade ETBs might contain the Greninja Secret Art Rare (214/167), while Shrouded Fable offers The Loyal Three Secret Art Rare set.
Booster Bundles & Blister Packs
The Surging Sparks bundle is the standout here, potentially containing the sought-after Pikachu ex Secret Illustration Rare (238/191). Older Sword & Shield Brilliant Stars packs still offer chances at the stunning Charizard V Alternate Art (154/172).
Premium Collection Boxes
These larger sets often include exclusive promo cards and accessories. The Paradox Fury Premium Collection—an Amazon holiday exclusive—currently offers a 12% discount at $60.11.
Tins & Mini Collections
Tins with Pokémon V promos are especially valuable since they contain Sword & Shield era boosters. The Azure Legends and Paradox Destinies tins are particularly strong choices for collectors.
