Pokémon TCG Ascended Heroes: Don't Miss Out! Shocking Preorder Demand!

Alright, Pokémon trainers, listen up! The hype is real for the new Pokémon TCG expansion, Ascended Heroes. But navigating the pre-order landscape can feel like dodging a wild Snorlax. Fear not, I'm here to break down where to snag the best deals, and more importantly, what's even available right now before things inevitably sell out (because, let's be honest, they always do).

Pokémon TCG Ascended Heroes: Don't Miss Out! Shock...

First things first, the release schedule is a bit staggered. Not everything drops on the initial January 30th launch date. Think of it like a staggered gym battle – you gotta take 'em down one by one. On January 30th, the Charmander and Ghastly Tech Collections are your best bet for some early action. Walmart seems to have the edge with a price of $39.97 each – though fair warning, you're getting a random selection. Amazon's hovering around $43, so the choice is yours. Each of these collections gets you three Ascended Heroes booster packs, a cool promo card, and those ever-collectible tech stickers.

Now, individual Ascended Heroes booster pack pre-orders are currently MIA. TCGplayer's sold out, and Amazon and Walmart aren't even listing them. So, those Tech Sticker Collections are looking pretty appealing right now, especially if you want to get your hands on some packs without breaking the bank.

Also launching on January 30th are the Erika and Larry blister packs. You can pre-order these on Amazon for $34.99. The Larry edition comes with a Komala promo card (adorable!), while the Erika edition features a Tangela. If you're dead-set on that Komala, Amazon also has the Larry edition listed separately for $39.95. Gotta catch 'em all, right?

As expected with any major Pokémon TCG release, Ascended Heroes is creating quite a buzz. Pre-orders for the ETBs are available, but beware, The Pokémon Company has announced a delayed launch date of February 20, 2026, for Ascended Heroes ETBs. Yes, you read that correctly. 2026. Patience, young Padawans. You can find pre-orders on TCGplayer for $117.85 or Walmart for $149.99 - just be mindful that these are individual or third-party retailers.

Speaking of pricey, the Pokémon Center exclusive ETB is hitting resale markets like TCGplayer for an eye-watering $399 plus $200 shipping. Ouch! That extra N’s Zekrom foil promo card and the alternative box come at a cost.

Finally, the Mini-Tins! Despite the ETB delay, these little guys are still commanding high prices on TCGplayer. Walmart's pre-order price of $29.99 is by far the most reasonable right now. Again, the tin style is random, but it's a small price to pay compared to the inflated prices elsewhere. Each tin packs ten Ascended Heroes booster packs and a promo card. So, happy hunting, trainers! May the odds be ever in your favor in the quest for those Ascended Heroes!
