Not found the right controller for when your Nintendo Switch 2 is docked? The Switch 2 Pro Controller is getting a rare $10 discount at Best Buy today, but there's a catch. It's exclusive to Plus or Total Tech members. The good news is you can price match with Costco and skip the membership entirely. Ergonomically, it's easily one of the best controllers out there, so if you're already eyeing the Switch 2, this one’s a no brainer.
TL;DR: Deals For Today
Over on Amazon, Apple is having a moment with some solid markdowns across iPads and MacBooks. We're seeing up to 30% off the latest iPad models, with compatible Apple Pencils starting at $69. MacBooks are also getting up to 21% off, and some even come bundled with three years of AppleCare Plus. If you’ve been waiting to upgrade your setup, now’s a good time to jump in.
Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller
If you've got your Best Buy Plus or Total Tech Membership handy, Best Buy are shaving $10 off Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controllers. No memberships? No problem! Just price match with Costco and save $10 without one. It's arguably one of the best controllers on the market right now erganomically.
Apple iPad Sale
There's some chunky discounts on various generations of iPads right now, with the majority of these models being compatible with Apple Pencil, just make sure to check which one. Apple Pencil (USB-C) is down to $69 from $79 and Apple Pencil Pro is down to $99 from $129. Apple have long held the crown for the best quality tablets on the market, and getting up to 30% knocked off one just makes this sale an easy excuse to upgrade.
Apple MacBook Sale
For anything remotely creative, it's a good idea to invest in a Mac. Yes of course Windows and Linux can do the job, but programs like Photoshop, Premier Pro, ZBrush, Logic Pro and many more industry standard applications run incredibly well. Plus if you're already in the Apple eco system, it just makes sense to have a workhorse that talks well to your iPhone, Apple Watch and more. There's up to 13% off these MacBooks, with some including 3 years AppleCare+, so there's no excuse to weigh up one of these bad boys.
A Charlie Brown Christmas 60th Anniversary Zoetrope
A Charlie Brown Christmas 60th Anniversary Zoetrope vinyl is a limited edition release that celebrates both the 75th anniversary of Peanuts and 60 years of the iconic holiday special.
Pressed onto a two-sided Zoetrope picture disc, this collectible vinyl transforms into a moving animation when played under the right lighting conditions, displaying classic scenes from the beloved Charlie Brown Christmas special. Featuring Vince Guaraldi Trio’s timeless jazz tracks like “Christmas Time is Here,” “O Tannenbaum,” and “Linus and Lucy,” it’s both a visual and musical throwback.
A Charlie Brown Christmas 60th Anniversary Holographic Foil Sleeve
A Charlie Brown Christmas 60th Anniversary Holographic Foil Sleeve vinyl offers a more traditional but equally collectible take on the beloved holiday album. Unlike the Zoetrope edition, which features a moving animated design on the record itself, this version comes in a limited-edition glittering holographic foil sleeve, perfect for collectors who prefer a clean look with shelf appeal.
Priced at $25.98, it's also more affordable than the $34.98 Zoetrope version, while still featuring all the classic Vince Guaraldi Trio tracks like “Linus and Lucy,” “O Tannenbaum,” and “Christmas Time Is Here.”
Discounts on Magic: The Gathering Precons and More
Once again it's TCGPlayer and the secondary market values saving MTG players and collectors a small fortune over Amazon. Even sale pricing of the Fallout Commander Deck - Science! is $4 cheaper, with my favorite deal in this lineup being for the four pack bundle of Fallout Commander Decks.
Amazon works out at $47.07 per deck, with TCGPlayer massively undercutting here at $41.56. That's well over $10 saving per deck, with even more savings compared to Amazons single pricing overall.
Latest LEGO Preorders and Deals - Now Live
LEGO Game Boy is back up for preorder at Amazon after selling out on it's original allocation, so its a safe bet you'll miss out if you don't preorder.
I've also got three new preorders for LEGO Disney and Spider-Man alongside loads of great discounts on in-demand LEGO sets including Star Wars, Ninjago, Wednesday, Marvel and Disney. Discounts are running up to 37% off, so it's a really good time to pick up a new build.
Pokémon TCG Discounts at Amazon
Whilst there's a couple of savings on Amazon today, TCGplayer is knocking big box retailers out of the water. The White Flare binder box is a couple of dollars cheaper on Amazon, but looking at older sets like Destined Rivals show a clear gap in market value and the notorious Amazon mark ups of 2025.
Destined Rivals Elite Trainer Box is currently sat at $85 on TCGplayer, for example, which is cheaper than the Amazon sale price last week of £88.
Shining Fates Sealed Price Check
Is the Shining Fates Pikachu V Box actually worth getting? Well it's $40 on TCGplayer right now, more than $10 cheaper than Amazon, so on that fact alone yes. For me it comes down to the Pikachu V promo and jumbo card, which are going for a collective $1.90 right now.
You can also grab a full art set of four Shining Fates boosters for $37.91, which means you can get the contents of the box for $39.81. All in all there's not much difference for those looking for everything, but if you're just looking for Shining Fates boosters, it's cheaper to just buy the full art set considering a single booster is $9.99 right now.
Shining / Hidden Fates - Best Chase Cards Today
Prices for Paldean Fates and Hidden Fates Pokémon cards have shifted again this week, with big winners like Mew ex jumping 76% to $389.45 thanks to its powerful ability and incredible SIR artwork. Gardevoir ex is up 51% to $78.99, and Charizard ex continues to climb, now at $160.
Older chase cards from Hidden Fates are also rising again, including Charizard GX (up 12%) and Umbreon GX (up 19%). On the flip side, cards like Pikachu and Charmander from Paldean Fates are down sharply, while shiny favorites like Glaceon GX, Eevee, and Moltres & Zapdos & Articuno GX have also dipped. The market’s clearly leaning toward high-impact Special Illustration Rares over lower-tier shinies this week.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Classic Sewer Playset
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Classic Sewer Playset is back in action as an Amazon exclusive for $74.99 and it's already the #1 new release in play figure playsets.
This retro-inspired set features authentic 1989-style stickers, a working elevator that goes from street to sewer, and a high-voltage battle swing for dynamic action scenes.
Kids (and collectors) can drop figures down hidden passages, launch sewerballs, and stage surprise attacks, just like the old days.
Hisense 65" Class QD7 Series Mini-LED 4K UHD Smart Fire TV
Hisense 65" QD7 Series Mini-LED 4K UHD Smart Fire TV (2025 Model) is down to $499.99 (17% off its $599.99 list price) and packs a ton of premium features for the price. With Mini-LED and QLED tech, you get bright, vibrant color and deep contrast thanks to Full Array Local Dimming and quantum dot color.
It supports Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and Dolby Atmos, making it a great pick for home theaters or sports fans who want immersive viewing and sound. It’s also Fire TV-powered with Alexa built in, plus Game Mode Plus and ALLM for low-lag gaming.
Fallout Funko Pop Preorders
Dropping throughout December 2025, these Fallout Pop Vinyls focused on the Fallout TV series should drop around the same time as Season Two. There's also chances to get a random rare variant, which is about as much Funko hype as I can handle. I've preordered Vault Boy already, but I might get the whole lineup before preorders run dry.
Mini PC Deals
Mini PCs are great for a work from home setup, a bit of light gaming or just saving some space. Both of these models have decent specs whilst being good enough to run Minecraft and your day-to-day productivity apps. Plus they're dirt cheap, so there's nothing to loose.
