With the Black Friday and Cyber Weekend season in full swing, Pokémon TCG players will be happy to know that not only are Phantasmal Flames boosters and ETBs in stock and ready to buy at Amazon & TCGPlayer, but they can also get some sweet deals, too, depending on which you buy.
The best storefront to go for each Phantasmal Flames product depends on the various listings available, but TCGPlayer offers a compelling added incentive by offering 10% cashback on all purchases as in-store credit (available until 1 December at 11PM ET). If you plan on buying any of the most valuable Pokémon cards in Phantasmal Flames, this is a very good way to take a bit of the sting out of your wallet.
This pairs greatly with the Phantasmal Flames Elite Trainer Box on TCGPlayer, as the card-selling marketplace has listings for unopened boxes from around $87 right now. Amazon’s Phantasmal Flames ETBs are available from $94.99, thanks to some new price cuts from various sellers — making these a good back-up option if TCGPlayer’s run out.
The same goes for the Mega Charizard X ex Ultra Premium Collection; TCGPlayer is currently listing these for as low as $175.99 at the time of writing, while Amazon has a steeper price point of $189.99. For those who don’t know, this collection is like an Elite Trainer Box, but on a more premium level, as the name implies.
These come with foil Mega Charizard X ex & Oricorio ex promo cards, a Charizard playmat, deck box, metal coin, damage counter dice, a Pokemon TCG Live code, and 18 booster packs from various sets (Phantasmal Flames, Mega Evolution, Destined Rivals, Journey Together, and Prismatic Evolutions).
Amazon does have a decent offer on Phantasmal Flames Booster Display Boxes, now priced at $254.99 for 36 packs at 15% off from $299. This Cyber Weekend / Black Friday deal works out at $7.08 per Phantasmal Flames booster pack — compared to the $7.90 minimum for individual boosters at TCGplayer, and the very high $15.99 price per booster at Amazon.
If it’s only a half-dozen packs or so you’re after, TCGPlayer is still the best place for buying Phantasmal Flames Booster Bundles (six packs) for listings sitting at around $48, while Amazon’s are going for $61.50 at the lowest.
The same goes for the Phantasmal Flames Build & Battle Box, currently being sold for just under $50 at TCGPlayer. Thanks to a Black Friday price cut, the difference isn’t too big, with Amazon’s available for $52.99 after having 29% taken off from its $74.94 listing price.

Bionic calls.
Get your spiciest takes at the ready, because it’s time to dive into another edition of Box Art Brawl!
It was a special edition affair last time, as we celebrated the 35th anniversary of the SNES by matching up three boxes for the SNES Mini. There was one clear winner in our eyes, and you lovely lot agreed with us! The simplistic Japanese design comfortably walked away with the win, taking 48% of the vote and leaving Europe and North America with the remaining 26% and 25%, respectively.

With manufacturers looking to raise prices to fuel the AI age we’re sleepwalking blindly towards, Black Friday weekend might offer the last chance to save on PC hardware for a while.
Black Friday weekend may not offer the same deals it once did, but that’s not to say there aren’t savings to be had.
I understand why walking sims aren’t really a thing any more. Some of the earliest big names like Gone Home, Dear Esther, and arguably The Stanley Parable all came at a time where indie games were growing in popularity, but were still predominantly 2D. Something simple like a walking sim is obviously quite resourceful compared to contemporary AAA games, but now the indie scene has blown up to the point where mechanics-first genres like roguelikes are dominating. Except I like walking sims! So when a game like nophenia, a walking sim where you’re a wolfgirl with a flip phone exploring different dream worlds, shows up, I’m going to pay attention.
Crikey, it’s been a long time coming, but it looks like The Long Dark is finally coming to a close… next year. Up until earlier this week, the fifth and final episode of The Long Dark’s Wintermute DLC was due to be released by the end of the year. As you’ve probably gathered, the end of the year is very close now, so as a result, episode five has been delayed, but it is a delay that at least comes with a concrete release date.
