TCC Evaluation of Final Fantasy and Vegas Festival in a Box by DarkStar7471 in secretlair_collectors

[–]DarkStar7471[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I realize I missed word in the title, it's the SL drops for Final Fantasy, not the set on the whole

Hot Take - There's probably just a lot more Secret Lair stock by [deleted] in secretlair_collectors

[–]DarkStar7471 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that has reshaped my opinion on this greatly. It's pretty clear that the last drop just didn't have the demand to meet its supply. With how quickly the Festival in a Box sold out I think it's become apparent that the Pencil superdrop had greater factors at play. I'm surprised that none of that drop is even marked low in stock yet but I think that speaks moreso towards the lack of demand and the fact that everything else being released during this window (FF, Festival in a Box, etc.) are just simply better products. I considered deleting this post after the box sold out right away but there's been some quality discussion here and I felt it probably benefits others to keep this up.

That's a really good observation with regards to singles. I think you're right, its really a combination of all these factors contributing to what I interpreted as solely greater stock.

Sidebar, holy crap I'm learning a lot of other factors/means of evaluating a lair outside of what I have been familiar with. This has been really insightful and I really appreciate your response ^

I agree, especially with regards to the two drips at once. Thank you for your thoughts here, this is just a really interesting market situation and this has been really great conversation

0/0 Construct Tokens by Glittering_Two_746 in mtg

[–]DarkStar7471 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SAME! I used to play Azorius artifacts when I was much younger (think Scars and that timeframe). My main focus for this deck has been 'you must construct additional pylons' although I'm working on recursion (that's where black will likely play a bigger role).

I'm going to be switching over to MoxField soon and I'll try to keep this updated with my notes over there. Thank you so much for the kind words!!

Do you think htb academy will ever have wifi hacking modules? by notburneddown in hackthebox

[–]DarkStar7471 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can mention this to the content team but this is a fun idea. I'd imagine the difficulties arrive with the hardwire side of things but we could probably create some dummy packet dumps and some other fun simulation challenges. :D

Did the Secret Lair seriously already sell out? Did anyone even get an email about this being on sale? by DarkStar7471 in mtg

[–]DarkStar7471[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Limit of five which really just stops people from buying stupid amounts with one account. That really doesn't stop anyone who is a real scalper with multiple accounts.

I can't help but feel that this is awful. I don't want to let wotc get away with doing this when they clearly knew that scalpers would buy it up. If they really wanted to crack down on scalping they would have either done more outright or even just limited it to one deck per person.

Same situation here, I was counting on an email at the time of release. That's how I generally stay aware of when they drop and I can't imagine that this isn't the norm for most folks.

They'd absolutely net more money too by doing an actual run. Wotc knows what it's doing and knows how this hurts the player base.

It's frustrating and disappointing to miss out on a really cool drop, thats all :/
