One thing that’s crystal clear as we head into 2026 is the importance of physical media. We’ve had enough of streaming service price hikes alongside everyone and their dog providing their own digital library. The same goes for music (vinyl is back, kids) and even manga.
TL;DR: Deals for Today
Shonen Jump and VIZ have their own apps, which are quite affordable, but nothing beats the feel and experience of reading physical manga. Well, smashing out a massive box set is up there too, which is why I’ve picked out some of my favourite series that are in Amazon’s manga box set sale. Let’s get into it.
Manga Box Set Sale
If you’re planning on freeing up the box room to store One Piece manga, box sets one to four are all in the 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.

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
6000mAh 5-Level Heating with Battery Display
Hand Warmers Rechargeable 2 Pack
0
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 that is likely a pain to recycle. 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.
Fair enough, 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.

Destined Rivals Three Booster Blister

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.
