Target currently has Pokémon TCG's Mega Zygarde ex Premium Collection in stock, and for just $44.99, which is the MSRP in the US.
While the Mega Zygarde set is part of the far less popular Mega Evolution expansion, Perfect Order, it still feels like a minor miracle that you can find anything at the standard list price The Pokémon Company continues to set (almost too confidently, considering the state of the TCG right now).
$45 is also lower than the current market price at TCGplayer, but not by much. $54.25 is the listed median price, while the going market rate right now is $47.50 (that's also not a bad price if this ends up selling out at Target before you can get to it). While it's minor savings in comparison, it's still saving, and hopefully a sign of things to come in the near future for other sets. If only we could get the same for Ascended Heroes!
But enough complaining about the market; let's have a quick chat on everything included in the Mega Zygarde ex Premium Collection. For your $45, you are getting a foil promo card featuring Mega Zygarde ex, alongside an oversized lenticular promo card of Mega Zygarde ex, a tech sticker featuring, you guessed it, Mega Zygarde ex, and eight Perfect Order booster packs to rip open. Not bad at all!
That's about $5.62 per pack, which is pretty good all things considered. Perfect Order Booster Bundles can still run you up to $40-$50 right now (depending on where you buy), and include just 6 packs. That's between $6.66 and $8.33, so however you work it out, you're getting a better deal on just the boosters with the Premium Collection right now.
It’s no secret to say reception to Perfect Order was a bit frosty, from investors and fans alike. The lack of immediate frenzy comes down to a simple sandwich effect. No, not the Legendary-restoring type.
Perfect Order is a smaller, more focused expansion of just 124 cards (including Secret Rares), sandwiched right between the massive, 295-card Ascended Heroes and the upcoming Chaos Rising expansion.
It doesn't have the traditional heavy hitters we’ve all come to expect that send the third party reseller sites into overdrive. There’s no Charizard, no Moonbreon, no Rayquaza, and no Pikachu to drive the mindless hype that usually clears shelves before the shop doors can even open.
