Pokémon TCG’s Phantasmal Flames Mega Charizard X ex Ultra-Premium Collection is pretty spectacular, and certainly worth the splurge if you can find one in stock.
It’s mighty high MSRP is $120, but if you don’t mind paying a little more, Amazon has got the elusive set down to $139.99 right now (sold and shipped directly from Amazon, not a dodgy third-party). That’s below market price, around $150, and even better than trusted resale sites like TCGplayer.
Unfortunately, it won’t arrive until after Christmas, but if you’re keen on picking it up, here’s a complete list of what’s included in the collection:
- 1 foil full-art promo card featuring Mega Charizard X ex
- 1 foil full-art promo card featuring Oricorio ex
- 65 card sleeves featuring Mega Charizard X
- 1 playmat featuring Mega Charizard X
- 1 deck box featuring Mega Charizard X
- 1 metal coin featuring Mega Charizard X
- 6 damage-counter dice
- 18 Pokémon TCG booster packs:
- 2 Surging Sparks TCG booster packs
- 4 Journey Together TCG booster packs
- 4 Destined Rivals TCG booster packs
- 4 Mega Evolution TCG booster packs
- 4 Phantasmal Flames TCG booster packs
- A code card for Pokémon TCG Live
This should go without saying, but this collection really only makes sense if you want the exclusive TCG accessories included in the box, at least in my experience with it.
There’s nothing inherently wrong with what’s here, but the selection of booster packs feels just a tiny bit tired. More Phantasmal Flames, or even Mega Evolution packs, would have gone a long way.
Instead, the heavy reliance on Surging Sparks and Journey Together makes the whole thing feel a step behind where it should be. Still, if that isn’t an issue for you, than this is the best value going for the latest Ultra Premium Collection online right now.
If you’re looking to just chase cards, however, I’d also recommend checking out how much some of the best single chase cards are going for right now, to pick up individually. Or, to consult after you’ve cracked open all your packs. Good luck!
