If you want to open packs

Buy the Booster Bundle at A$84.00. Six packs and nothing else, which works out at A$14.00 per pack — the lowest in the range. If you want more packs in one go, the Elite Trainer Box has the highest count at nine.

If you are building a set and need storage

Buy the Binder Collection at A$95.00. Five packs plus a commemorative 9-pocket binder, so the cards you pull go straight into pages rather than a loose pile. It is the only format that includes a binder.

If you want something to display

Buy the Poster Collection at A$60.00 for the commemorative poster and the foil Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres promo cards, or the Ditto Premium Collection at A$110.00 for the acrylic card display and the Ditto promo. The Poster Collection is the only format with the three bird promos.

If you are buying a gift

Under A$100 — the Poster Collection at A$60.00 or the Booster Bundle at A$84.00.
Around A$100 — the Binder Collection at A$95.00 gives the recipient something to keep beyond the packs.
A$150 — the Elite Trainer Box is the most complete single gift, with packs and all the accessories.
