Amen and hallelujah. Even the bonus sheet for EoE is pretty damned weak - nice art, but most of the lands on them are sub-$2.

Same. If I haven't decided to hiatus from magic again by then, might have to resurrect some variant of my Reaper King deck, if there's anything worth building from.

KnifeySkarekrow wrote:I am actually more excited for the set than I anticipated. The story was REALLY good, the cards look cool, plus rumors of Strip Mine and Ancient Tomb being on the Bonus Sheet is a plus.
The thing that bums me out are the Pokémon scalpers hanging around with this set to scalp the CBs again. And then we get Spider-Man, which I'm lukewarm on, unless we see a Moon Knight card, then Avatar, which I actually DO NOT care about. But guaranteed the Pokémon scalpers will probably be around for a while, snaking the CBs for those sets as well.
Yea, not thrilled seeing CB's already spiking over $400. Blatantly ridiculous.
New players brought in from FF don't help, as they don't get that they hype from FF doesn't translate into ALL sets.
I'm 100% looking forward to Edge of Eternities, but I'll be skipping both Spider Man (Though I may snag a Venom card if they make a good one) and Avatar. Neither are really my thing.

Looks like you did just fine, Alex ;-P
Things are always a LITTLE quiet between sets - even with the snort span of time between this time around, it's not surprising.
And Everyone I've talked to is really hot or cold with Edge of Eternities - there doesn't seem to be a grey area.

Well, I’m always on the lookout to make new friends lol
Careful what you ask for in this case, LOL.
Alex, share the price once you have them?

KnifeySkarekrow wrote:Hey Steven, what's the trade value you got on that FF Prerelease kit?
Heya, Kyle!
I'm going by TCG, so at the time of this message, $80.
The pricing metrics on this set are f'n insane.

Welcoming Daniel Abt to the group (An invite that should have been sent ages ago, but I somehow missed him in the original listing).

KnifeySkarekrow wrote:My biggest issue with FF has always been that most of them are turn based and a vast majority of turn based games don't click with me, with the exception of Pokémon. I'm more action-RPG oriented, so Skyrim, Darksiders, Kingdoms of Amalur, etc.
However, I think Xbox has access to all the FF games now, along with getting 7 Remake this winter, so I may have to check them out if they go on sale.
You might like XVI. It's very action orientated, and takes a sharp turn from the turn-based combat of earlier FF's. For me it's a drawback (I prefer Turn-based), but the story and characters are so good I'm going to finish it.

SengirHellLord wrote:IV is considered one of the better mainline titles due to its cast of characters. I won’t spoil anything for you, but he’s set up to be a fearsome villain and morphs into a tragic character by the end. Early-era FF managed to do a lot with the hardware limitations at the time. It’s definitely worth a playthrough, especially if you have access to the Pixel Remaster collection.
This.
IV was the first FF I played when it was released (Yea, I'm old), and legitimately has some of the best storytelling I've ever seen, then and now.
Golbez is a major character, and definitely one that's bound to hold value. The card itself is decent as well, so even in MTG circles, it'll hold value. I'd hold it for now - as previously stated, all of these main characters are rising.

Helios52 wrote:Just an FYI, Make sure you check your Local Targets. I stopped by one on my way home from hockey and this one had restocked the bundles @ 70 and Collector Boosters @ 44.99! It was limit 2 per customer so I only grabbed what I could. Im glad I did tho bc I pulled 450 worth of cards from them thanks to the Surge Foil Yuna, Grand Summoner in the one, that I think someone said they wanted 
Very nice. I pulled my Traveling Chocobo from a spare I bought from a friend, but local stores are already picked clean here in MA.
Hella jealous of that Yuna.
~S~
Just an FYI, everyone - noticed this today, and while I've already messaged Sebi about it, thought I'd share as I thought it might be slowing up some trades:
I just noticed that (Specifically for Final Fantasy), wish- and want-lists aren't synching across profiles. For example, I have a Traveling Chocobo and a Summon:Bahamut on my tradelist. While looking at the want list of a fellow trader, I noticed that they had these two cards listed, without designated variants, but that they weren't showing up in the 'cards X Trader needs from you ' on the trade profile page. This is also causing inconsistency when using the 'Trading Opportunities' option in the left menubar.
So if there's something specific you're looking for, it might not hurt to actually take a look at the tradelists of traders you're interacting with, if you don't have a space like this one to ask them directly.

KnifeySkarekrow wrote:Do we know when Prerelease promos will be added to the site?
Coding is usually updated within a couple of weeks after release. Shouldn't be too long.
SengirHellLord wrote:If anyone happens to get one of the play promos (Commander Party, Standard Showdown, or Store Championship) and they don’t want them, I’m looking to get one of each and am happy to work out a trade 
I've reached out to a buddy of mine who got a few extras - I'll let you know.

Updated my tradelist to include a couple of my higher value cards (Expeditions, masterpieces, etc.) and still desperately seeking Terra, if anyone's come across one.
Also have an unopened prerelease kit for trade, if anyone's interested.

shadowsrose21 wrote:hey @sightburner, what are you valuing that surge foil pheonix down at?
That's a great question - I'm seeign everything from $3 to $86, depending on where you look. Let's give it the week to calm TF down, and I'll let you know. But I'll hold it for you.
SengirHellLord wrote:Are those normal frame surge foils like Phoenix Down also in CB’s?
You know Wizards would never do that when they can make more $$ forcing you to buy other products ;-)
They are not. I just grabbed the Terra one for some of the flavor reprints I wanted in those foils.

shadowsrose21 wrote:anyone pull a foil borderless dion or jill or clive?
I have a spare full-art foil Dion on my tradelist, Alex.
Looking for Jill myself, and Clive is in a deck.

KnifeySkarekrow wrote:I hope you find your Terra!
It seems Waltz is going to be hard to find as Extended foil, TCG has 0 listings as of a bit ago.
Appreciate that! I did pull a nonfoil Waltz in extended art, but I've yet to see a foil in person - and I watched a total of 5 boxes opened in person.
I'll keep an eye out!
~S~
All pulls posted, and wishlist updated.
I did get the majority of my $$ back in prerelease pricing, which is nice - including a foil yellow chocobo (Only available for trade for Terra).
Otherwise, hit me up if you see anything you need, and we'll work something out if we can. Be well, all!
~S~
Congratulations, both of you!
I've opened 2 boxes thus far, and still haven't hit my two chases (Sad face), so FTR, anyone pulls those cards, you get priority.
No chocobos (Though a friend of mine pulled a neon yellow, she wasn't willing to part with it)
I'll finish adding the rest of those boxes today; 3rd box will be in and uploaded tomorrow.
~S~
I'll keep an eye out, and will likely get the majority of my pulls posted tonight (except for one box, which won't be here until Sunday.
Good luck, everyone!

KnifeySkarekrow wrote:For those of you getting Collector Boosters, I am particularly looking for an Extended Art Foil Black Waltz No. 3
I'll watch for one for you.
In the same vein, my 2 major chase cards are Terra, Magical Adept (323 Foil), and Summon: Bahamut (356 Foil).
If I don't pull them, and anyone else does and is willing to part with them, I will 100% work to make a trade happen.
Everyone else, if you don't pull your chases, LMK, and I'll watch for them.
I am now at a total of 5 boxes between play groups, so hopefully decent odds to meet requests.

Losses based on $700 box cost, value earned at pre-release prices... Woof.
TBF...I'm not going into this expecting to break even. Prerelease prices are always bloated, and the boxes themselves are exorbitant. If I hadn't caught them when I did, I wouldn't be shelling out current pricing for them. But yea, agreed...hopefully everyone get what they want from them, at least.

Good catch - but the only other one I'm aware of is the black one, at 551 (No designator). Might fill that 'e' slot, but odd they wouldn't include it on the card.

ZombieSleeve wrote:And all of my distributor orders are unfilled :,(
If anyone has a lead on an MSRP Collector's Box, I'd love you 5Ever.
Sadly, no one's following MSRP for this at this point - it's like it doesn't even exist.
I was lucky to lock in my boxes before things skyrocketed, but inquiring with my favorite LGS, even they've upped their prices over $700.
F'n insane. But I'll hit you up if I see anything.

Wild. Thank goodness for this community and the transparency of the trade system that this can be cut off before he was able to get away with a bunch of people's cards.
This is legitimately one of the reasons I created this group - and I'm happy to see everyone working together to protect each other.
At the risk of sounding cheesy, appreciate all of you.
