Sold by third-party seller BetterShopping4You, this ETB will get to you as soon as Oct. 5-6 at the time of writing (if you’re a Prime member).

You also get six damage-counter dice, a competition-legal coin-flip die, a plastic coin, six dividers, a collector’s box, and a Pokémon TCG Live code card.
