The Pokémon Trading Card Game's "First Partner Illustration Collection - Series 2" has been restocked on Amazon, offering fans a chance to acquire the popular set. This restock comes as The Pokémon Company prepares for the franchise's 30th anniversary in 2026, which will also see a "Pokémon 30" celebration expansion and continued releases in the "First Partner Collection" series.
Previously difficult to obtain, Series 2 is now available for $56.98 on Amazon. This price point is in line with the average order value found on resale sites like TCGplayer, where the median price is listed at $55.98. While slightly above the current market rate of $49.07, Amazon's price does not include potential delivery fees or the use of gift cards and store credit. TCGplayer is also presented as a viable alternative for purchase.
It is important to note that both Amazon and TCGplayer prices are currently above the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Retailers are listing closer to the "market price," which reflects the average amount buyers are willing to pay.
The "First Partner Illustration Collection - Series 2" includes one Pokémon TCG booster pack with three of nine promo cards, two additional Pokémon TCG booster packs, and one sticker sheet.
In addition to the "First Partner Collection," other Pokémon TCG items are also seeing restocks and deals. Chaos Rising booster displays and bundles are available on Amazon, and the Elite Trainer Boxes (ETBs) are in stock from a third-party seller, "BetterShopping4You," for under $90. The Mega Moonlit and Mega Charizard Tins can be found for under $50 each, matching or falling below market price on TCGplayer. Furthermore, Prismatic Evolution Elite Trainer Boxes are available on Amazon for just under $175, which is below market price.
