2024 is already shaping up to be a big year for the Pokemon TCG. New stacking tins are already available for pre-order, as are items in the upcoming Paldean Fates expansion if you’re lucky enough to find any. If not, there’s a brand new mini tin bundle available on Amazon that, at the time of typing this at least, isn’t sold out.
Although the bundle is new, it doesn’t include brand-new mini tins. The tins included in the bundle are from the Galar Pals collection released a few years ago following the launch of Sword and Shield. What makes this bundle new is what comes with those tins. Four promo cards featuring Cinderace, Dialga, Inteleon, and Rillaboom. And yes, this does appear to be the same type of bundle that has previously been available at Costco, just packaged differently.
Best Pokemon Tins Of 2023
Gotta collect ’em all!
If you’re unfamiliar with the Pokemon TCG’s mini tins, they’re a neat alternative to just buying booster packs. Each tin has two booster packs inside as well as a promotional coin, but there’s the added bonus of getting and collecting the tins too. There are five tins in the Galar Pals collection, each with a different star and some side companions on the front. Perhaps the best part of the bundle below is you’re guaranteed one of each.
Galar Pals Mini Tin + Promo Card Bundle
The Pokemon TCG’s Galar Mini Tin + Promo Card bundle includes all five of the Galar Pals mini tins as well as four promotional cards. Each of the tins contains two booster packs and a coin.
The only questionable element of the bundle above is the price. Even when accounting for the booster packs inside and the promo cards that come with it, $62.99 is a little steep for the bundle. The benefits, other than the promo cards, are getting all five mini tins without having to roll the dice by ordering them separately. Doing that could technically get you all five for a lot less, but might also result in you getting a few duplicates.
If you don’t fancy the bundle after reading the above and your Pokemon TCG pre-order slate for the coming year isn’t full just yet, the Paldea Adventure Chest is still available. Revealed last month, the chest will be released in March and includes seven foil promo cards and six booster packs as well as a few other goodies. Best of all, even though you’ll have to wait for its arrival, it’s available for less than the Galar Pals mini tins bundle.
