SAVE UP TO $23.71: Pokémon TCG's Mega Evolution Booster Box is down to $243 at TCGplayer including shipping, saving $6.99 on Amazon's price. But the big saving here is the Phantasmal Flames Booster Box sitting at $259.96 at TCGplayer, saving a massive $23.71 over Amazon's price.
For the sake of $6.99, it's worth getting the quick one-day Amazon prime shipping for the Mega Evolutions Booster Box. But if you're happy to wait and have more change in your pocket, hit up TCGplayer to save a bit more.
