Pokémon’s First Partner Illustration Collection is back for another round, and Amazon is already taking preorders, with more gorgeous full-art promo trading cards on offer.

As of June 2, Amazon has the Pokémon TCG: First Partner Illustration Collection—Series 2 available to preorder for $94.79 via Collectors Expedition, with free delivery currently set for June 24 to 25 — which is after the box’s release date of June 19.

However, if you’re open to shopping outside of Amazon and giving up its convenient returns process, there are a lot of savings to be had by preordering through the dedicated trading card selling platform TCGplayer. 

At TCGplayer, you’ll find listings from as low as $65.26 at the time of writing, which is only 24 cents above the Series 2 Partner Collection’s market price of $65.02. The highlighted seller on that listing page, The Gaming Company, has over 200 units available as well, so there’s plenty to go around for those who want to sell for almost $30 more than Amazon.

As for what you’re getting in the box, no matter which site you buy from, Series 2 focuses on first partner Pokémon from the Johto, Unova, and Galar regions, meaning Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile, Snivy, Tepig, Oshawott, Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble are the stars this time around. You’ll get three of nine illustration rare-style promo cards in one pack, so don’t expect a full set in a single box.

Alongside the promo pack, the box also includes two additional Pokémon TCG booster packs (one from Chaos Rising, one Perfect Order — according to product imagery) and a sticker sheet featuring first partner Pokémon friends.

To get even more packs for a reasonable price, you can score the 36-pack Pokémon TCG Chaos Rising Booster Display Box for under $280. For more from the anniversary celebrations, check out some of the 40+ new and exclusive items you can get from Target's Pokémon 30th Anniversary Collection. 

Although currently not available on Amazon, the Pokémon TCG’s newly announced Pitch Black expansion — Booster Packs, ETBs, Display Boxes, and Booster Bundles — is available to preorder at TCGplayer.
