The Phantasmal Flames set includes a full-art foil Charcadet promo card, 65 themed card sleeves, dice, and a new player's guide. 9 Phantasmal Flames booster packs will also give fans the chance to hunt for that extra special Mega Charizard X ex or Mega Gengar ex card. The Elite Trainer box will be available at Walmart for $55. Walmart+ members will get first access on October 9th at 7am PST / 10am EST.
A few other Pokemon bundles and collections will also be available starting October 9th (for those Early Access members, of course). Pokemon collectors will find the Phantasmal Flames Booster Bundle, a 6-booster pack bundle available for $29.87, the Scarlet & Violet White Flare 3-Pack Tech Sticker Collection, a 3-booster pack and sticker collection up for $18.87, and the Phantasmal Flames Three-Booster Blister, a 3-booster pack bundle with 1 random promo card up for $15.87. Head below for individual links. May the Pokemon card collecting be ever in your favor!
The Pokemon card-collecting game has been tougher and tougher to play with every drop, the continual problem of scalpers making it even harder for fans to access cards. It seems as though a Walmart+ subscription service makes things easier for fans to get their hands on the packs they want, but that still means subscribing to the paid-for service to get the necessary access. Fans who'd like to can sign up for Walmart+right here. Walmart+ does have a 30-day free trial available, but unfortunately the Walmart+ hub page states that only paid members will have access to the early deals. On the plus side, you might find additional Pokemon TCG deals during their Fall Deals event, which runs from October 7th to October 12th align with additional Early Access opportunities down the line.
