An Elite Trainer Box (ETB) is the flagship Pokemon TCG product released alongside every new set. Each ETB contains 9 booster packs of the current set, energy cards, dice, condition markers, card sleeves, and a player's guide — all in a collectible themed box. ETBs are produced in limited runs and almost always sell out at the major retailers within minutes of going live.
ETB MSRP — what you should be paying
- $49.99 — Standard retail ETB at Target, Walmart, Best Buy, Amazon, Sam's Club, Hot Topic.
- $59.99 — Pokemon Center exclusive ETB (carries a Pokemon Center stamp on a promo card; otherwise functionally identical).
bujusjujus only fires an alert when the listing is at or near MSRP from the retailer itself. Any third-party marketplace listing or above-MSRP price is suppressed.

Why ETB alerts beat refreshing pages
By the time the Add-to-Cart button appears in your browser, bot-driven monitoring services have already added it to their own carts. Manual refreshing is a losing strategy. bujusjujus watches the underlying stock signal continuously and pushes the alert to your phone — on the iPhone app, the Android app, or the web app — within seconds of the change.
