Delta Reign preorders only started dropping at Pokémon TCG retailers last week, with the Booster Bundle at best being $74.95 on Amazon as of last Friday; to my surprise, though, a third-party seller on Walmart has been quick to drop prices and even go well under market price.
At Walmart right now, seller Cataclysm Games has knocked the price of Delta Reign’s six-pack Booster Bundle to only $54.49, after slicing off $25.50 from its original $79.99 price tag.
That approximately 32% price drop is an astonishing deal for multiple reasons, depending on how you look at it.
First, its current market price, estimated by trading card marketplace TCGplayer, is currently a much higher $73.10 — almost $20 more.
Granted, it’s standard for modern Pokémon TCG Booster Bundles to steadily drop below $55, and even $45, over time (like with Perfect Order and Pitch Black), but almost never during pre-release.
Even on the Delta Reign Booster Bundle’s TCGplayer page, where you can also find available listings from as low as $72.31, its value has been slowly dropping over the last week, but any seller who jumps straight to under $55 from the get-go is really trying to earn sales fast.
If it were an unheard-of, or at least poorly rated, seller, we’d encourage anyone to stay away, but Cataclysm Games has been a regular Pokémon TCG seller we’ve seen over previous months and currently boasts four and a half out of five stars.
Of course, if you only prefer listings directly sold and shipped by the retailer itself, that’s completely fair enough.
That said, going with this Walmart price will also be saving you almost $10 compared to Amazon, too — where its best listing, which is also on sale, is for $64.45, also via third-party seller Collectors Expedition.
Among the prices we’ve seen right now, this Walmart booster bundle is the best way to get the lowest price-per-pack without buying a display box; with this six-pack box, you’ll be paying around $9.08 each — which is $4.32 cheaper than packs on TCGplayer, currently $13.40 each.
if you're looking for anything else Delta Reign, the lowest price for the Elite Trainer Box at Amazon right now is $139.94, through third-party sellers Collectors Expedition or Kings Games. However, Walmart has also recently undercut that just-shy-of-$140 price by nearly $20.
Right now, the Delta Reign ETB is just $119.99 at Walmart via Cataclysm Games (another notable third-party seller). That’s not only the lowest price we’ve seen so far, but also under TCGplayer’s estimated market price of $122.17.
