While we're at it, don't overlook the Mass Effect statues available at the IGN Store. If you're like me and your bookshelf could use a few more plastic space heroes, these are a must-see. Commander Shepard and the crew are up for pre-order, and I couldn't resist adding Jack to my cart because, let's be honest, who doesn't love a bit of chaos?

I grabbed Surging Sparks because getting six booster packs for under $50 is a steal compared to recent Amazon prices (though it's still above the MSRP). I was itching to open something new, and being part of the latest Scarlet & Violet expansion, it's ideal for those looking to keep up with the newest sets or simply enjoy the thrill of pulling a valuable card. It's a smart choice for any enthusiast.

If you're a Mass Effect fan who's replayed the series more than once, these statues are likely calling your name. I couldn't resist pre-ordering Jack; it just felt right. The collection includes Commander Shepard, Tali, Legion, and more, each looking so good that I've already cleared space on my shelf. If you still find yourself quoting Garrus with a straight face, these statues are a must-have.

Paldean Fates is currently priced at double the MSRP, but it's also incredibly hard to find in 2025. I picked it up mainly for the baby shiny subset, which is amazing. However, if you're just after specific cards from this set, buying them individually might actually be more cost-effective.

This bundle offers some of the best narrative-driven indie games from recent years. I opted for the $12 option, added the games to my ever-growing backlog, and immediately started playing The Pale Beyond. It's a solid lineup for anyone who enjoys character-driven stories and doesn't mind the occasional emotional impact from minimalist storytelling.

I hesitated at first, but the inclusion of 18 booster packs and a playmat made the decision easy. It's a significant investment, but if you're looking for a premium bundle that truly justifies the price, this is it. I picked it up for the overall experience rather than just the cards, which is the best way to approach this set.

I picked up the Shining Fates Pikachu V Box because I never opened it when it first came out, and now seemed like the perfect time. It includes four booster packs, a Pikachu promo card, and the oversized card that inevitably ends up near your desk. It's a nostalgic throwback if you missed it the first time around.
