20 already great Pokémon deals to catch ahead of October Prime Day

Published

on

Amazon’s October Prime Day — also known as Prime Big Deal Days — is nearly upon us, officially running on Oct. 7 and 8, but early Pokémon deals and bargains are already appearing faster than an Abra’s Teleport. Whether you’re a seasoned Pokémon TCG collector, a nostalgic anime fan, or someone just looking to add a bit of Pikachu sparkle to your wardrobe, there are already plenty of ways to save.

Right now, along with Amazon’s best early Prime Day deals across all categories, the retailer has quietly rolled out a surprising range of Pokémon discounts — covering everything from trading card booster bundles and plush toys to specially made figures, apparel, and even official binders to keep your rare pulls pristine. It’s a great opportunity to stock up on cards, since they’re currently below market value, and are expected to sell out quickly.

These early deals cater to all kinds of trainers, whether you’re a competitive card collector seeking the latest Scarlet & Violet expansions, a parent hunting for kid-friendly toys, or an anime enthusiast looking to complete your DVD collection with Ash & Pikachu’s classic adventures.

Mashable has spotted a handful of stand-out offers that blend genuine value with collector appeal, and we’ll continue to update this list once Amazon’s Big Deal Days begin in earnest. So, keep an eye on this space as more Poké-savings evolve over the next few days.

Why we like it

Packs of Black Bolt & White Flare cards have been in short supply in the world of the Pokémon TCG lately, but getting 29% off this Black Bolt Binder Box is a fantastic early Prime Day deal. You can potentially get some solid pulls and store your special rares all in one go.

Priced at $47.99 (down from $67.89), it offers solid savings on a premium bundle that combines both functionality and Gen-V fun. Inside, you’ll find a themed 9-pocket binder capable of holding hundreds of cards, plus five Black Bolt booster packs from the Scarlet & Violet expansion and a code card for Pokémon TCG Live.

Each pack gives you the chance to pull striking cards, including rare Zekrom variants worth hundreds of dollars, a practically priceless Victini, and a picturesque Special Illustration Rare of N’s plan. While pull rates vary, fans of the Pokémon Black and White games will still love even the common cards from this set, dedicated to the franchise’s fifth generation.

The binder’s tight-fit sleeves and elastic closure add an extra layer of polish too — making this a tidy, display-ready set that’s great value for collectors and gift-givers alike.

Select immersive NBA games coming to the Apple Vision Pro

Published

Apple Vision Pro users will be able to experience select NBA games in an immersive way for the 2025-26 season, Apple announced on Friday.

Some Los Angeles Lakers matches will be in Apple Immersive video, a format specifically for the headset. The company's release states, "Viewers will feel the intensity of each game as if they were courtside, with perspectives impossible to capture in traditional broadcasts. "

A schedule of Lakers matchups that can be watched immersively will come later this fall, and the first game will stream in early 2026. They'll be filmed with a camera called the URSA Cine Immersive Live camera from Blackmagic Design, which launched earlier this year to capture Apple Immersive videos.

The immersive games will be available through the upcoming Spectrum SportsNet App for fans in the team's regional broadcast territory: Southern California, Hawaii, and parts of southern Nevada, including Las Vegas. Users must run visionOS 26 or later to experience Apple Immersive video, and a subscription to Spectrum broadband or SportsNet is required to use the SportsNet app, according to the fine print.

On both the SportsNet and NBA apps, full game replays and highlights will be available to Vision Pro users in select regions and countries. Spectrum subscribers can also watch live and replay traditional game broadcasts with the Spectrum TV app, and if you have an NBA League Pass, you can do the same on the NBA app.

Last year, Apple dropped several immersive videos for the Vision Pro, including the 2024 NBA All-Star Weekend.

All the New York Comic-Con TV and movie announcements you need to know

Published

on

By

Following San Diego Comic-Con this summer, New York Comic-Con brought even more exciting announcements. Here's a running list of TV and movie trailer drops and sneak peeks you need to know about.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is a prequel to Game of Thrones, taking place a century before the events of the original series. Based on novellas by George R.R. Martin, A Knight of Seven Kingdoms will follow shabby knight Sir Duncan the Tall (Peter Claffey) and his squire, Egg (Dexter Sol Ansell).

How to watch: A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms premieres January 18 on HBO Max.

Marvel's Wonder Man miniseries teaser

Marvel dropped a teaser for Wonder Man, an eight-episode miniseries. The trailer is pretty meta, with talk of an in-universe reboot of a Wonder Man movie. "I know your question is, 'Why one more superhero film?'" a reclusive director character says in an interview. "Everyone is tired of superheroes" — saying what many fans watching the teaser must be thinking. According to Entertainment Weekly, the series itself will be pretty meta as well, with the actual hero auditioning to be the movie version of Wonder Man.

"Have you given any thought about casting?" the interviewer asks, with the final shot of the teaser being Wonder Man (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) staring at his phone, watching.

On Marvel's website, it states that Wonder Man premieres in December, but Entertainment Weekly reported that it's shifted to January.

How to watch: Wonder Man premieres on Disney+ in January 2026.

Invincible Season 4 gets a release date

At SDCC in July, creator Robert Kirkman updated fans about Invincible Season 4, like that Matthew Rhys will be voicing Dr. David Anders/Dinosaurus. Kirkman also revealed that Grand Regent Thragg, ruler of the Viltrum Empire, would debut — and now as of NYCC, we know who will voice him: Lee Pace, Variety reported. An entire trailer dropped, as well as a release date (March).

How to watch: Invincible Season 4 premieres on Amazon Prime in March 2026.

Mercy trailer drops

Chris Pratt and Rebecca Ferguson star in this new sci-fi movie, Mercy, from Amazon MGM, releasing in January. "Mercy" is an advanced AI who acts as judge, jury, and executioner according to the trailer. (Not totally terrifying or topical at all!) Pratt plays Detective Raven, who helped develop the program, now on trial for murdering his wife. If he can't prove his innocence in 90 minutes to Mercy (Ferguson), the AI will kill him.

How to watch: Mercy will be released in theaters on January 23.

The Vampire Lestat extended first look

The Vampire Lestat, Season 3 of the AMC+ Interview With The Vampire adaptation, takes a bite at Anne Rice's second book in her Vampire Chronicles series. While Interview focused on Louis de Pointe du Lac's (Jacob Anderson) journey from human to vampire, The Vampire Lestat stars his (former) vampiric lover, Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid) — in case the title didn't make that obvious. While the first trailer dropped last year at SDCC, fans will have to wait until next year for the entire season to drop, so AMC+ must've felt merciful to give fans an extended look at the 2025 NYCC.

How to watch: The Vampire Lestat premieres in 2026 on AMC+.

Check back for more developments as NYCC continues.
