I also want to highlight the Mass Effect statues available at the IGN Store. My bookshelf might already be cluttered, but what's one more plastic space hero? I couldn't resist pre-ordering Jack because, let's be honest, chaos is fun. The lineup includes Commander Shepard and other beloved characters, making it a must-have for any fan still quoting Garrus with pride. Additionally, there's a Humble Bundle filled with narrative indie games that promise an emotional rollercoaster—perfect for those who appreciate a good story and don't mind shedding a tear or two.

I snagged Surging Sparks because getting six booster packs for under $50 is a steal compared to recent Amazon prices, even if it's still above MSRP. It's part of the latest Scarlet & Violet expansion, ideal for those looking to stay current or simply enjoy the thrill of pulling a rare card. It's a smart buy if you're in the market for something fresh to open.

If you've replayed Mass Effect more times than you'd like to admit, you know why these statues are tempting. I couldn't resist pre-ordering Jack; it just felt right. The collection includes Shepard, Tali, Legion, and more, each crafted with such detail that I've already cleared space on my shelf. If you still find yourself quoting Garrus with a straight face, these statues are a must-have.

Paldean Fates might be priced at double the MSRP, but finding it in 2025 is a challenge. I grabbed it mainly for the baby shiny sub-set, which is incredibly appealing. However, if you're after specific cards from this set, buying them individually could be more cost-effective.

This bundle offers some of the best narrative indie games from recent years. I opted for the $12 option, adding them to my ever-growing backlog. I immediately started playing The Pale Beyond, which has been a fantastic experience. If you enjoy character-driven stories and don't mind being emotionally moved by minimalist storytelling, this bundle is for you.

I hesitated on this one but then realized it includes 18 booster packs and a playmat. It's a significant investment, but if you're looking for a premium bundle that's worth the price, this one delivers. I picked it up more for the overall experience than for individual cards, which is the right approach with this set.

I picked up the Shining Fates Pikachu V box mainly because I never got around to opening it when it first came out, and now seemed like the perfect excuse. It comes with four booster packs, a Pikachu promo card, and an oversized card that usually ends up somewhere near your desk. It's a nostalgic treat if you missed it the first time around.
