Preorder sealed boxes were clearing ~2.5x MSRP (~$450) before release day. If you're buying for the promos, the singles market is cheaper — Espeon ex sold near $133 and Umbreon ex near $154 in early sales. Note that random Day/Night allocation is common on retail listings — you often can't pick the version.

5 foil cards per pack
Each pack holds five foil cards from the set — one is always a Pikachu from the set's 30 Pikachu cards.
Classic Collection pack
The bonus pack contains three reprints from the Classic Collection — the nostalgia hit of the box.
Ditto Premium Collection
A $39.99 companion product launched the same day — smaller, cheaper, selling out just as fast.
