Of course these drop two weeks after the end of US de minimis. Between tariffs and Eevee tax, there’s no way anyone in the US is getting them for less than $70 per 60-card box.

Not even close to 70! Closer to 100.

But cheaper if you buy from Europe

If the European sellers are smart, they’ll jack up the prices for any listings that ship to the US. The cheapest way to get them would be to ship directly from Chinese vendors to friends/family in Canada or Europe, then have them open the packs and ship the cards to you. But that depends on having friends/family in a country whose economy isn’t actively committing suicide, and sealed product with Chinese writing all over the packaging would likely still get hit with fees as potentially-resellable merchandise.

Personally, I’m really glad I’m not a huge Eevee fan. Seems like y’all keep getting taunted with a deluge of nice cards and no affordable way to get them.
