The Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution: Phantasmal Flames Booster Bundle preorder is under market value at Amazon

UNDER MARKET VALUE: Phantasmal Flames, the first expansion for the well-received Mega Evolution generation of Pokémon TCG, has dropped its preorder allocation at Amazon and product is selling past. Booster Bundles are still available though, and they’re under market value right now.
After Black Bolt, White Flare, and Mega Evolution double ETB sets released at the same time, it’s nice to see a concentrated expansion release in Phantasmal Flames. And it’s an absolute banger.
The Dragon-type Mega evolution of fan-favorite Pokémon Charizard is front and center, and here’s what else is packed into Phantasmal flames:
-
Five Special Illustration Rare Mega Evolution Pokémon ex and Supporter cards
-
Six Mega Evolution Pokémon ex
-
Four Pokémon ex
-
12 Illustration Rare Pokémon
-
17 Ultra rare Mega Evolution Pokémon ex, Trainer and Energy Cards
The hype is real for the Mega Evolution era of Pokémon TCG, and it’s simply nice playing Legends: Z-A whilst looking at my card collections and decks full of Mega Evolved Pokémon. And with Hyperspace Luminoise City coming in the Mega Dimension DLC, Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution is going to get crazy.
Phantasmal Flame product lineup and MSRP
