Summary

  • The Pokemon TCG Classic has been heavily reduced at Best Buy, available for $250 rather than the usual lofty price of $400.
  • The TCG Classic is a recreation of Pokemon's original cards, split into three decks, each of them led by a shiny Venasaur, Charizard, and Blastoise.
  • Everything else you need to start playing right away is also included, and there are some brand new ex cards thrown in for good measure.

No one balances nostalgia with new quite as well as The Pokemon Company. Pokemon has managed to keep huge chunks of its older fans engaged, some of them for more than two decades, while pulling in new fans along the way. One of the more notable ways it tapped into its nostalgia in recent years was 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:via the release⛦ of the Pokemon TCG Classic. A collection replicating its original Pokemon card launch in the late 1990s, and right now it's cheaper than ever at Best Buy.

Not only was it hard to find a pre-order for the TCG Classic when the set was released in 2023, but at full price the set costs $400. Pick one up at Best Buy right now and you'll get it for $249.99. Hard to imagine the set will remain in stock for long, especially since as far as I can tell, this is the cheapest it has been available for brand new through a major retailer. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Amazon previously cut the price✨ of the set earlier this year, but by less than $100, so nowhere close to the re😼duction B🐎est Buy has applied.

The Pokemon TCG Classic is a set that revives the original Pokemon cards released during the late 1990s. Each of its three decks is headlined by a shiny version of Kanto's fully evolved starters, and the case in🌊cludes everything you need to play the TCG with a friend or rival.

The TCG Classic also comes with everything else you need to play the game with a friend, meaning each of you can choose a deck and go head-to-head using recreations of some of Pokemon's original cards. The only caveat for those of you who dabble with the Pokemon TCG's competitive scene is nothing in this set can be used in tournaments. The TCG Classic is effectively a self-contained set, everything you need packed inside a single case and not created to be mixed with other Pokemon TCG products.

While the designs themselves aren't from the Pokemon TCG's original set, there are two new c𓆉ards available for free through the Pokemon Center right now that feature two of Pokemon's original creations. The Pikachu and Eevee Pokemon Together cards, which were previously European exclusives, are now being given way through the US Pokemon Center. You will need to buy a bundle in which they're included to get them, though.
