Legendary Pokémon boxes are back in stock — and the price honestly shocked me
Look, I'd lost hope. Pokémon TCG: Beach Black booster boxes had been completely gone from official retailers for ages, and the prices on the secondary market had gotten absolutely insane. But just now, the boxes came back for preorder on Amazon — and here's the thing that actually matters: they're priced lower than what you'll find in the gray market resellers right now.
This might sound like small news if you're not deep in the Pokémon card collecting world, but trust me, it's not. When a limited release vanishes from official stores, the resellers come out swinging with ridiculous markups. The speculators make bank while the actual collectors get squeezed. Now, players who actually want these boxes have a real chance to grab them without paying double the original retail price.
Who should actually jump on this?
If you're a serious Pokémon card collector and missed out on Beach Black when it originally dropped, this is your moment. Yeah, the prices are still above the manufacturer's suggested retail, but they're way cheaper than anything else you're going to find right now. But if you're just some reseller looking to flip these for profit? Sorry — that ship has sailed. The gravy train is over.
My advice? Move fast. These boxes disappear quick once they hit official retailers again, and who knows when — or if — they'll be back next time.
