Magic: The Gathering’s second set of the year gives us cardboard versions of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, their allies, and their foes, and the Collector Boosters are still in stock at Amazon – and at a discount no less.
After dropping to just over $400 a week or two ago, they’re now down to $394. That’s a 14% drop from the MSRP of $455, and it’s by far the best way to try your arm at picking up some of the set’s most desirable (and valuable) cards.
TMNT – Collector Booster Box

It is a hefty buy-in, no question, but this is the product designed for people chasing the flashiest pulls in the set. If you are new to Magic, Collector Boosters are where the premium treatments live. Extended art, textured foils, alternate frames, the kind of cards that turn heads and, in many cases, hold stronger resale value.
They do not guarantee more powerful gameplay staples, but they dramatically increase your odds of pulling the most desirable versions of those cards. That is why they sit at a $37.99 MSRP per pack.
If cracking packs for play value is the goal, Play Boosters remain the smarter option. They are built for drafting, deckbuilding, and actually using the cards. But if the aim is to open something rare, shiny, and potentially valuable the moment the set drops, Collector Boosters are still the top-tier route.
The newest Commander Deck, ‘Turtle Power’, is down to just $52.98 saving you $15 off the MSRP, while the Bundle of nine Play Boosters is $65.71, down from $69.99. It also includes a promo card and 30 lands from the set.
Draft Night, which includes a series of boosters to play a draft match and a Collector Booster to use as a prize, is down to just over $83.99 from $119.99.
