Pokémon TCG: Mega Zygarde ex Premium Collection
The Pokémon TCG: Mega Zygarde ex Premium Collection is available at Target for $44.99, which is just below the current market value. It comes with a foil promo card, an oversized lenticular promo card, and a tech sticker all featuring Mega Zygarde ex. Plus, there are 8 Booster packs. Personally, I think the eight booster packs alone make it worth a grab.
Looking for more Pokémon TCG? Below are a few Amazon Restocks:
Star Wars Outlaws for PS5 Is $12
Admittedly, Star Wars Outlaws has received a bit of hate, but for $12 on PS5 during Best Buy’s Anniversary sale, it’s an absolute steal. This open-world action-adventure set between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi is a really great time. In IGN’s Star Wars Outlaws review, Tristan Ogilvie said, " It’s a fun intergalactic heist adventure with great exploration.”

A brand new 2026 model of the 27” Samsung Odyssey QHD-OLED G6 Gaming Monitor is down to just $278.59 for new Woot customers with the code “SUPERSAVING”. Returning customers can save 20%, bringing it down to $318.39. This monitor uses stunning QD-OLED tech for deep blacks, vibrant colors, and near-infinite contrast. The 0.03ms response times and 240Hz refresh rate in QHD make it especially well-equipped for gaming.
4K The Lord of the Rings Extended Edition 3-Movie Bundle for $14.99
Don’t have HBO Max (or a 4K subscription) and want access to The Lord of the Rings Trilogy anytime? A digital copy of The Lord of the Rings Extended Edition 3-Movie Bundle in 4K UHD is down to just $15 on Amazon. For those who don’t care about having physical discs, it’s an incredible $30 in savings. These movies from the early aughts are timeless classics and are always a great rewatch.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Hits Low
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth for Switch 2 is down to just $35 at Best Buy and Amazon. The Day One Edition also comes with a Magic: The Gathering Zack Fair promo card. However, shipping is delayed on Amazon, so I’d recommend grabbing it from Best Buy to get it soon. As for the game itself, this remake of the classic action RPG earned an “Amazing” 9/10 rating in IGN’s review. Michael Higham went on to say the game is “full of exciting challenges and an awe-inspiring recreation of a world that has meant so much to so many for so long.” You can also pick up the PS5 version for only $19.99 on Amazon.
2026 58" Hisense 4K Hi-QLED Roku TV for Just $189.99
Need a budget screen for a dorm or bedroom? Best Buy is offering the brand-new 2026 model of a 58" Hisense 4K Hi-QLED Roku TV for just $189.99. The Hi-QLED panel offers direct-lit LED backlighting, while HDR10, Dolby Vision, and HLG are all supported and Roku smarts are baked in for ease of use. The 60Hz refresh rate is also pretty solid for gaming, especially since the Switch 2 taps out at 60Hz and most PS5 games struggle to hit 120Hz anyway.
Worms: The Board Game Hits Lowest Price Ever at Amazon
The Worms video game series got the board game treatment, and it’s on sale for its lowest price ever on Amazon. This beginner-friendly board game lets you play with up to four players, each with four worms. From there, you will battle and blast each other, just like in the video game. If you end up with the most worms at the end, you’re the lucky winner. Read IGN’s full review of Worms to find out more about the board game.
$136.39 1TB SSD for PS5
Grab this 1TB SSD that’s compatible with PS5 for just $136.39 on AliExpress via the Official Newegg storefront. You just have to be logged in to see that price. The KingSpec XG7000 1TB PCIe 4.0 M.2 NVMe Solid State Drive offers the best and easiest way to essentially double the console’s storage. Transfer speeds of up to 7,400MB/s read and 6,600MB/s write surpass what’s required by the PS5, and the use of TCL 3D NAND flash is impressive for a budget SSD. However, you’ll want to pick up a heatsink for using it with the PS5.

Dragon Quest HD-2D Remake Games Back at Lowest Prices Ever
Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is on sale for PS5, Switch, and XSX. For Switch and PS5, it’s back at the lowest price I’ve seen. This 2024 remake of Erdrick's final adventure in the trilogy uses Square Enix's HD-2D art style perfectly. In IGN’s Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake review, Logan Plant said it “is a shining example of how to remake a classic RPG and a brilliant reminder of why the original is an essential work.”
If you’re looking to complete the Erdrick Trilogy, pick up Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake while it's back down to its lowest price ever at Amazon and/or Best Buy. Square Enix managed to modernize the retro RPG experience with this trilogy of Dragon Quest games and even added new story content to sink your teeth into. Dragon Quest I & II earned an “Amazing” 9/10 rating in IGN’s review, and George Yang found the remake succeeds at “recapturing the retro magic of the originals while giving them a modern facelift.”
