The Pokémon TCG: Perfect Order Build and Battle Box is live at Amazon and Walmart — save almost $10

Build and Battle Boxes in the Pokémon TCG usually sit in the middle ground between casual pickups and pricier sealed products, but Walmart’s latest preorder price on Perfect Order makes the investment a lot easier.

As of March 11, Walmart has the Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution Perfect Order Build and Battle Box listed for $49.98, ahead of the expansion’s release date on March 27. Amazon has the same box up for $58.95 — meaning Walmart is currently cheaper by almost $9. It's not a huge difference, and some shoppers might prefer the convenience of Amazon.

The Build and Battle Box format is one of the more approachable ways to jump into a new Pokémon TCG set before going all in on an Elite Trainer Box or Booster Box. That’s because each comes with a 40-card ready-to-play deck, four Mega Evolution Perfect Order booster packs, and a code card for Pokémon TCG Live. It also includes one of four unique foil promo cards, which adds a little extra appeal for collectors who like pre-release products with some built-in variety.

These promo trading cards can either be Serperior, Barbaracle, Tyrantrum, or Doublade, all designed to help players get quick games going in the pre-release format.

The best retailer for Pokémon TCG: Perfect Order booster pack preorders is Amazon at $10.79 each, meaning four (the same number you’d get in the Build and Battle Box) would cost you $43.16. When compared to Walmart’s $49.98 for the whole Perfect Order Build and Battle Box, that extra cost will get you a whole 40-card deck that’s ready to play, along with the added promo card. If you want to start playing a Perfect Order deck right away for the best price, securing a preorder like this is the best way while stocks last. 

You can still preorder the Pokémon TCG: Perfect Order Elite Trainer Box for just over $105 at TCGplayer. Meanwhile, the six-pack Perfect Order Booster Bundle is available for under $60 at Amazon.
