For those of you who missed out on the initial preorder launch, some of the MTG: Final Fantasy cards are back up for preorder as well. Checking these deals out below.

MTG: Final Fantasy Cards Back up for Preorder

Magic the Gathering's new Final Fantasy Commander series cards have been out of stock for a while, but the starter kit and booster bundle are once again back up for preorder at Amazon. They'll ship out starting June 13, and you won't be charged until they do. Given that there are so many Final Fantasy fans out there, these have been extremely popular and will undoubtedly introduce a lot more people to the world of Magic.

Lokithor J400 12V 2,000A Car Jump Starter for $33.97

A jump starter is an essential part of car's emergency kit, and a cordless one is definitely a lot less of a hassle. You don't need to pay a premium for a jump starter that reliably gets the job done, either. Amazon is currently offering the Lokithor J400 12V 2,000A cordless car jump starter for $33.97 shipped after you clip both $20 and 40% off coupons on the product page. The retail price is listed at $89.95, but we usually see it for closer to $50-$60. Not only does it function as a jump starter, it can also be used to recharge your smartphone in a pinch.

The latest iPad Pro was released on May 15, 2024 and boasts significant upgrades over its predecessor including a powerful M4 chip and a gorgeous tandem OLED display.

What better Mother's Day gift than a brand new iPad? Mother's Day lands on Sunday, May 11, which unfortunately means the window has mostly passed to have your delivery arrive in time. However, the iPad deals are still live (and some are even better than before), and a late gift is better than none at all. Several of the latest iPad models, including the 11th-gen Apple iPad (A16), the 7th-gen iPad Air, and the iPad Mini (A17 Pro), are on sale for the best prices we've seen all year.

New 2025 Apple iPad 10.9" (A16) for $299

For most people, the iPad (not the Air, Mini, or Pro) is the best model to get because it offers all the benefits of iOS as well as snappy performance at an affordable price. The current generation model was released on March 12, 2025, over two years after the previous generation (October 2022). The upgrades include a more powerful processor (A16 vs A14), more RAM (6GB vs 4GB), and more storage (128GB vs 64GB). Best of all, the launch price of $349 is actually lower than when the previous generation model was released, which was $399.

4-Pack USB Type-A to USB Type-C Adapters for $4

USB Type-C might be the new standard, but what if your PC or laptop simply doesn't have enough of those ports? Here's a cheap and easy solution as long as you have older USB Type-A legacy ports. For a limited time, Amazon is offering a 4-pack of Elebase USB Type-A to USB Type-C Adapters for only $3.99 after you apply a $4 off coupon code "KLIMVVIG". That comes out to only $1 per adapter. The Elebase USB adapters collectively have nearly 55,000 reviews on Amazon with a 4.6/5 star rating and a respectable Fakespot "A" grade.

55" Samsung S90D 4K OLED Smart TV for $989.99

If you've been waiting for a great deal on a high-end OLED TV, here's one you should seriously consider. Amazon is offering the 55" Samsung S90D 4K OLED Smart TV for $977.99 shipped. This is an excellent TV for your PS5 or Xbox Series X. According to RTINGS, the Samsung S90D is a brighter TV than the popular LG C4 OLED TV with a wider color gamut, better color volume, wider viewing angle, and better HDR gradient handling.

30% Off LEGO Ideas Treehouse 21318 (Officially Retired)

LEGO collectors, here's your last chance to score a great deal on an excellent LEGO set that has already been officially retired. Amazon is offering the LEGO Ideas Treehouse 21318 for $174.99, a 30% discount from its $250 list price. Note that this set was originally $200 at launch, but LEGO raised prices on several sets, including this one, back in 2022. This deal drops it to even lower than the launch price, which is almost unheard of for a discontinued set.

LEGO Technic Planet Earth and Moon in Oribt 42179

Preorder the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller

Have you won the battle to secure a Nintendo Switch 2 preorder? Well, now it's time to set your sights on the new Pro Controller, which is also available starting today. It's currently orderable via Target, Walmart, Gamestop, and Best Buy for $84.99 with a release date of June 5. Just like the Switch 2 console itself, we expect this item to become much harder to find and possibly more expensive if tariffs go back up, so this may very well be the best opportunity to secure one.

Amazon is offering a 50% discount off the popular Beats Solo 4 wireless on-ear headphones just in time for Mother's Day, which lands on May 11, Currently all four of the classic colorways - Black & Gold, Cloud Pink, Matte Black, and Slate Blue - are on sale for just $99.99 with free shipping (normally $200).

Right now Fanatical is offering on average 20% off discounts on two of the very best games that were released in 2025.
