Deals for Today: MTG Price Watch and a huge RTX 5090 Alienware Discount

6 janvier 2026 à 22:25

Magic: The Gathering sealed product is making waves at big box retailers and TCGPlayer, but who has the best prices this week? Well, both Amazon and secondary marketplace TCGPlayer have their bargains, so I’ve noted the best deals down to save you looking, as well as the other best deals of the day.

TL;DR: Deals for Today

Alienware has just dropped a massive discount on their NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 build, coupled with one of the best gaming processors on the market right now in AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D. Looking for a cheap and cheerful deal instead? How about two 6.6ft braided USB-C cables that can handle up to 240W for the price of a coffee? Thought so. Coming in at the product you didn't know you needed today is a cordless air duster for easy cleaning of desks, PCs, fans and more that's currently half off from $39.98. Let's get into it:

MTG: Cheapest at Amazon

Amazon is putting out some decent pricing, with my favorite pick here being the "Game Edition" of Cloud Strife-themed Limit Break Commander Deck. It's around the same price as TCGPlayer, making it market value, with the artwork being based on in-game moments instead of the traditional MTG artwork.

The same can be said for the Marvel's Spider-Man Play Booster Box containing 30 booster packs with the following:
• 14 Magic: The Gathering cards
• 1–4 cards of rarity Rare or higher
• 3–6 Uncommon cards
• 6–9 Common cards
• 1 Land card (Traditional Foil Land replaces a Land in 20% of boosters)
• 1 card of any rarity is Traditional Foil; Foil Showcase Mythic Rare in 1% of boosters

MTG: Cheapest at TCGPlayer

Meanwhile, TCGPlayer is the place to go for MTG preorders. It's the cheapest for the Lorwyn Eclipsed Play Booster Box and Bundle, with the next Universes Beyond entry Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Play Booster Box, Turtle Power! Commander Deck and Bundle, the latter being over $15 cheaper than Amazon.

There's some gorgeous Final Fantasy scene boxes coming in cheaper than Amazon too, not to mention the standard Limit Break Commander Deck being just under $5 cheaper on TCGPlayer. It pays to shop around for sure.

Alienware Area-51 RTX 5090

This beast is loaded with an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU, GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card, 32GB DDR5-6400MHz RAM, and a 1TB SSD. That alone sells this system with the custom cooling that makes Alienware's Area-51 builds worth the premium. The good news is we're seeing a rare discount on something that has an RTX 5090 in it, a solid 10%, or $550 off, knocking this build down to $5,049.99. What's not to love?

2 Lisen 6.6ft 240W USB Type-C Cables

Thanks to my kids destroying countless USB cables over the years, I know what makes a USB-C charging cable that lasts. Braided wins out over rubber cable every day of the week due to its flexibility and durability. Thick caps on either side protecting the port will also be a lifesaver, but getting 240W-capable cables can sometimes cost a fortune.
Not today! You can get Lisen’s 6.6ft double pack for a ridiculously reasonable $5.60. These will handle fast charging for pretty much everything you can think of, from a mobile phone or Switch 2 to a MacBook. Even if you don't need a new cable, it's worth buying spares when deals like this crop up.

JVSCAM Cordless Electric Air Duster

Cleaning dust or crumbs out of your keyboard is a pain. No-one likes doing it and it takes ages to brush them all out. I was in the "Why the hell do I need an electric duster" camp, but then I bought one and I’m using it quite a lot.

I use mine to clear out vents, fans, GPU and more inside my PC, and even use it to get to hard-to-reach places in the car and on my desk. They're very handy to have in your desk drawer and it’s a great deal for $20.

Pokémon TCG: Market Value at Amazon

Well, the good news is you can get the Phantasmal Flames Elite Trainer Box with Prime delivery without getting stung. It has nine booster packs, a gorgeous Charcadet Illustration Rare promo, Mega Charizard X–themed sleeves, card dividers, a tournament-legal coin, alongside some nice-looking dice.

Cynthia’s Garchomp ex Premium Collection has four Journey Together and two Destined Rivals booster packs, so if Trainer Pokémon cards are your thing, you’re good to go.

Pokémon TCG: Cheapest at TCGPlayer

If it were me making a choice from the TCGPlayer selection here, I’d go for the Destined Rivals Booster Bundle. It’s $13 cheaper than Amazon right now and works out at $4.66 per booster pack, which is one of the best prices I’ve seen for Destined Rivals booster packs recently.

If you want a decent Mega ex card for your Grass-type deck, I’d recommend the Mega Venusaur ex Premium Collection. If you run Meganium alongside it from Mega Evolution, you can double your Grass Energy value while being able to move a Grass Energy from one Pokémon to another thanks to their abilities. That means you can set up and use Mega Venusaur ex’s “Jungle Dump” attack for 240 damage in one turn (it costs four Grass Energy).

You’ll also get the following booster packs:

  • 2 × Mega Evolution
  • 2 × Destined Rivals
  • 4 × Journey Together

Deals for Today: Big Discounts on Secretlab Bundles and an RTX 5070 Refurb PC

2 janvier 2026 à 20:09

We’re only two days into 2026 and Secretlab are already dealing out discounts on gaming chair and desk bundles that will have your battlestation or work-from-home setup ready for a fresh year of digital gains ahead. Saving up to $150 versus their standard pricing is all good in my book.

TL;DR: Deals for Today

Outside of the best gaming furniture around, Acer are knocking out refurbished RTX 5070 gaming PCs at over $400 off. If you’ve not been keeping up with the latest tech news, RAM, DRAM, and SSD storage prices are inflating up to four times their shelf price thanks to AI data centres snapping up that sweet silicon and copper wafers. So getting an RTX 5070 build with 32GB DDR5 RAM and a decent processor for just over $1,200 is ridiculously good.

On top of that banger deal, I’ve got 4K streaming device deals from Google and Amazon, topping that off with more than half off a set of Sennheiser Accentum Bluetooth headphones. I’m awesome, right? Let’s get into it:

Secretlab Bundle Sale

Having tested plenty of gaming desks and chairs from every brand worth their salt, I’d argue that Secretlab’s gear is worth it when there isn’t a good offer on. Thankfully, Secretlab are bringing in the New Year with their Titan Evo gaming chairs and Magnus gaming desk setups, with all their bells and whistles on for up to $150 off.

If we’re getting personal about it, I tend to feel so much better using quality gear when writing and gaming. So when deals come up like this for products that will last years and keep you comfortable whilst grinding out work and games, it’s well worth jumping on.

Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max

If you fancy streaming games via Amazon Luna and Xbox Game Pass whilst making the most of those top-tier streaming services you’re paying for every month, this is the best time to pick up a 4K Max Fire TV Stick. You can hook up Amazon or Xbox wireless controllers with this bad boy and get the best picture quality from streaming services, so grabbing one for half off is a no-brainer.

Google TV Streamer 4K

If you’d prefer a streaming device that’s got more power under the hood and can put up with multiple applications thanks to its 32GB storage, I’d go with the 4K Google Streamer. It has Android TV baked in, making it easy to stay within the Google Play ecosystem and plays nicely with your Google Home smart home setup.

Acer Nitro 60 Desktop i7-14700F RTX 5070 32GB 1TB SSD

Like I was saying above, this is a brilliant deal. It’s a direct sale from Acer and will arrive pretty much as a brand-new system, plus you have all the protections of buying from eBay for complete peace of mind. At the time of writing, 172 units have already sold and Acer have a very positive seller rating of 98.7% too.

If you’re looking for a 1440p ray tracing powerhouse with some 4K functionality on titles, this is it. I can’t imagine there being deals like this as we progress through 2026 with RAM and storage prices going the way they are. So if your current build is looking tired and struggling with newer releases, this is a solid investment. Even if you want to upgrade the GPU down the line, everything else in this build is more than good enough to back up a more powerful graphics solution.

Sennheiser ACCENTUM Wireless Bluetooth Headphones (Black/Copper)

ou can set your watch to brands like Sennheiser, it’s just consistent build quality with features that just work. This also makes for a fantastic gaming headset with the included BTD 600 dongle that rocks Bluetooth 5.2, which also makes it simple to connect this headset to pretty much anything that outputs audio and has a USB port.

It rocks a built-in 5-band EQ, hybrid active noise cancellation, with controls on the headset to answer calls, control volume, and more. It’s a cracking deal.

WolfBox 3000A 12V 16000mAh Portable Car Jump Starter w/ 160PSI Compressor

Having a jump starter for your car battery and a pressure pump for flat tyres is essential kit for any driver, so having a unit that does both for $60 (down from $180) is a bargain. It even has a 65W fast charger in case your phone is running low on juice too.

It can inflate a pickup truck tyre in under three minutes according to the manufacturer, with 160 PSI and 3000A of jump starter power packed into a sleek and affordable unit with a digital display to boot. Simply charge it up at home via a wall socket (80% charge in one hour) and you’re good to go.

4K + Blu-Ray Steelbook Sale

Studio Ghibli fans, this sale is for you. With everything from Howl's Moving Castle to Spirited Away. Transformers: The Movie is here too, and it's the best way to listen to the best movie theme song in the world from Lion (I'll die on that hill).

From newer releases such as Straight Outta Compton to cult classics like The Blues Brothers, there's something for everyone in this sale, with the highlights shown above.

Peloton + Fitness Sale

It's hard sticking to the gym, especially when you have a family and a full-time job to hold down. Peloton is a popular option for its quality equipment and a membership that gives you smart class recommendations based on your stats. And we've all tried buying cheap exercise bikes at somepoint, and in my opinion they ruin the positive start you're looking for on your fitness journey. It's an investment in yourself at the end of the day.

Peloton bikes and treadmills are pretty much like having a personal trainer inside your workout equipment whenever it suits you. Plus, accessories such as cycling shoes and dumbbells are up to 70% off, so it's a good time to give yourself the healthy kickstart you need for 2026.

Manga Box Set Sale

If you're planning on freeing up space to store One Piece manga, box sets one to four are all on sale. That's volumes 1–90 for a combined $636.26, down from $959.96, saving a massive $323.70. That's a little over $7 per manga, which usual are usually priced at $11.99.
If you're a Dragon Ball fan like me, the Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z box sets are locked in the sale too for $97.99 and $175.66 respectively. That's a total of $273.65, down from $449.98, for the filler-free best way to experience the series. The way Akira Toriyama presents his panels is ridiculously expressive and a masterclass in what Shonen Jump manga is and should be.

Magnetic Building Blocks (150PCS)

Want to get the kids off Minecraft for a bit but don't have the budget for LEGO Minecraft sets? These magnetic building blocks were perfect for my boy and are more or less playing Minecraft physically. They're not an official product, but they're fantastic for a rainy day indoors.

Hand Warmers

Have you ever tried those one-and-done hand warmers with the metal inside that reacts to a packet of goo that stays warm for a bit? (I'm a writer, not a scientist.) Yeah, they're a waste of money and one more thing to throw away. These bad boys are rechargeable, have a temperature gauge screen, and fit snug into your coat pocket so you can keep your hands warm walking the dog or reading your new manga box set on top of a mountain.

Cheapest at Amazon: MTG

Commander Masters is the best set to get into if you love playing Commander, getting you legacy card reprints that are ideal for the format. It's not cheap, but Amazon currently has the best pricing for Set and Draft booster boxes.
If you missed out on the Final Fantasy Universes Beyond set when it dropped earlier this year, the game edition of Cloud Strife's Commander Deck, Limit Breaker, is at market value on Amazon right now. That just means you're getting it for a fair price compared to the secondary market, whilst being able to take advantage of that sweet Prime shipping.

Cheapest at TCGPlayer - MTG

TCGPlayer is still holding the top spot for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Play Booster Box preorders. It's a full $20 cheaper from its merchants right now, a saving worth getting over Prime shipping. The same goes for the Lorwyn Eclipsed Play Booster Box, a full $30 cheaper over Amazon's price.
Amazon has its preorder price guarantee, but that only counts if they drop the price before release. You can't price match other retailers with this guarantee, so if you see a steep discount on a preorder elsewhere, take your chances.

Cheapest at Amazon: Pokémon TCG

It’s great to see popular sets like Surging Sparks and Phantasmal Flames Elite Trainer Boxes crop up for less on Amazon, with the former being below market value alongside the Destined Rivals triple booster.

Cheapest at TCGPlayer: Pokémon TCG

It’s strange to see Silver Tempest sealed product showing up on Amazon right now. Perhaps we’ll see more Sword & Shield-era reprints on store shelves? Regardless, TCGPlayer has the Silver Tempest Elite Trainer Box for far less than Amazon, and the same goes for the Prismatic Evolutions ETB.

TCGPlayer also has the best deal on Destined Rivals Booster Bundles, currently sitting at $52.50. That means you get double the booster packs compared to the three-pack booster deal in the last section for less than double the price. TCGPlayer really has the no-brainer deals right now.

Skytech Gaming PC Holiday Sale

Considering we’ve just entered a memory chip shortage across the board, with even DDR4 RAM going for silly money, getting an RTX 5060 build with 32GB DDR4 for $1,079 is a great deal. You’ll have solid 1080p gaming with either an Intel i5-14400F or AMD Ryzen 7 5700 processor to boot. Personally, I’d go for the Crystal build. It costs the same and gives you far more room for bigger GPU upgrades down the line.

If you’re looking to go all-in with 4K gaming out of the box for under $3,000, the $2,799.99 Aqua build comes with a gorgeous clear white and blue case, complete with CPU liquid cooling, an RTX 5080, 32GB DDR5, and the absolute beast that is the Ryzen 7 9800X3D.
