There is incentive but it's not more than keeping the lights on. Sure you could sell the product for MSRP to your regulars but how much are they even really spending in your store? Could you make that up by making them happy? Probably not with the discrepancy b/w MSRP and mark value

It's because the lotr and FF product was so expensive. It's like the old Planeswalker tax

If they don't mark it up to secondary market value they sell out instantly to scalpers so like I don't see how that's better

It's not the stores fault if that's what it costs on secondary market

It's not a deck it's like a commanders arsenal. It's not for new players imho

Isn't that what jump start packs are for? I don't think a $100 box with or without a collector pack is gonna be good for a new player

Why wouldn't you want your gift products to have things people want?

The best solution is just ignore collector packs. They're really expensive and the cards aren't. Like they can keep increasing the volume of collector boxes they print but it will always be above MSRP until it crashes and then the boxes are toxic. Almost no collector box is MSRP.

I don't think that is practical or really the solution. It just means less stores would have product

nothing grinds my gears more than when I am exploring the rules of a board game to a new person and people (who know how to play but are not explaining the rules) decide they need to interrupt me to add their anecdotes and the parts of the rules they remember
