It vanished fast the last time it was available, but now the Charizard ex Super Premium Collection is back in stock at Amazon, and down to just $49.94 (see here). That's 38% off its current list price, and well worth considering if you’re even casually invested in the Pokémon TCG. This is one of the few boxes for 50 big ones that’s actually worth your time—and your money.
Here’s what’s inside:
- A foil Charizard ex promo, plus matching Charmander and Charmeleon
- A Charizard figure—not essential, but a solid shelf piece
- And most importantly: 10 booster packs, not the usual 4 or 6
Those packs span some of the most competitive and collectible recent sets, including Twilight Masquerade, Stellar Crown, Paradox Rift, Temporal Forces, and Obsidian Flames. This isn’t filler—these are current-meta and collector-relevant expansions. It’s rare for a box at this price point to deliver both exclusive promos and a stack of relevant packs. That’s why it sold out before—and why it’ll sell out again.
If you want real-time alerts on restocks like this, follow @IGNDeals. We cover TCG drops the second they go live. And if you’d rather skip the RNG altogether, we’ve also pulled together the best singles from these sets on TCGPlayer, so you can even target exactly what you want instead of chasing in boosters for the rest of the year. It's a great move considering the prices on singles have been dramatically crashing so far this year, so now is the time to buy.
My Favorite Obsidian Flames Cards
Charizard ex is the undisputed king of this set, with two of the most sought-after variants in the entire block. The Special Illustration Rare is pure fire and fury—easily one of the best Charizard arts ever—while the gold Hyper Rare keeps things flashy.
Ninetales and Cleffa bring the heat in different ways: one elegant, one unexpectedly stunning. Cleffa, especially, feels like a surprise standout. Pidgeot ex also deserves a nod, balancing playability with a slick, ultra-stylized take on a Gen I icon. Obsidian Flames is one of those rare sets where almost every big pull feels earned.
My Favorite Twilight Masquerade Cards
Perrin and Hisuian Growlithe? Pure art. GIDORA captured something real in the emotional bond between Trainer and Pokémon, and the way their illustrations link up makes pulling just one feel incomplete.
On the other end of the spectrum, Dragapult ex is a cold, terrifying force—arguably the best Pokémon ex in the set. Carmine’s the real money highlight here though, continuing the trend of stylish Trainer cards dominating the market. Throw in cozy Eevee vibes and a surprisingly playable Ursaluna, and you’ve got a set with serious depth and range from these singles.
PSA: Twilight Masquerade ETBs are also back in stock today, if you're feeling particularly fond to these cards and want to bolster your decks even further with boosters.
My Favorite Stellar Crown Cards
Stellar Crown is what happens when nostalgia and artistry shake hands. Squirtle and Bulbasaur show off their bird-watching hobbies in some of the most charming cards I’ve seen in years. Then there’s Terapagos ex, which looks like it belongs in a jewelry store, not a binder.
Hydrapple and Dachsbun are slightly more niche but still desirable thanks to lush illustrations and just enough playability to make you think twice before selling. I think this set knows what it's doing: hook you with Kanto starters, then keep you around with glittering, high-rarity flex pulls.
My Favorite Paradox Rift Cards
Paradox Rift wants to make a statement. Roaring Moon ex is the best pull here, both in power and price, and Groudon isn’t far behind with volcanic drama cranked to eleven.
Iron Valiant and Altaria offer very different flavors of future aesthetic, and somehow they both work. Iron Hands ex might not be pretty, but it’s still a beast in competitive decks. If you're after a set that brings both gorgeous artwork and raw pressure, this is the one to crack.
My Favorite Temporal Forces Cards
Temporal Forces is part prehistoric brawl, part retro sci-fi. Raging Bolt ex leads the pack with one of the strongest attacks in Standard, and Iron Crown ex isn’t far behind, fueling Future decks with wild efficiency.
Walking Wake ex wins big on artwork alone, thanks to Suicune’s eternal popularity, and Gouging Fire holds its own with surprise jungle-dino energy. Even Iron Leaves ex has sneaky-good utility. I want every single one of these cards for a different reason, which is exactly how a good set should work.
More Pokemon TCG Sets Back in Stock Today
Pokémon fans have plenty to sift through today with restocks across some of the most in-demand sets. Twilight Masquerade ETBs are back at reasonable prices ($54.95), and the Azure Legends tin is a smart pickup if you're looking for variety in a single purchase, now just $29.99 at Amazon. These items have been tough to grab without markups, so it's a good time to stock up while they’re available and shipping with Prime.
