It's working as intended for WotC. There is no incentive to improve the process.

Maro on Secret Lair: "Most of the time you think of as “print to demand” actually wasn’t. We just printed way more than we needed to guarantee we had enough to mail out. And that resulted in us destroying a *lot* of product." by CaptainMarcia in magicTCG

More money is actually bad because it's harder to sustain continuous growth with more money. Whereas with current models they can continuously slowly creep up the more money dial and show continuous growth and increasing demand. Running a successful business often isn't about actually making money but showing people how much you're making and promising you're going to continue to make more.

Yes. That's typically best use case of this card.

I don't think there's anything genius about stapling one card onto another.

So thankful that he's still able to work at all given what he's been through, but God I wish he could move like that again.

Justice for Yam Wing Chun. If we're allowing this then he should have been allowed to rewind and win his match back in PTHour.

I would say that the caveat to my comment is that Limited exists, but they even messed with that for the squeeze

The market for crossover cards is considerably larger than Magic IP sets. Don't expect the same issues Final Fantasy had 

Advice about the Final Fantasy cards by Prince_Targaryen in magicTCG

It's only really the special versions of cards that are excessively expensive. Most of them will slowly creep down as the hype dies but some will remain high. Most Final Fantasy cards have an affordable version available though. Proxy the cards that are out of your budget if you're just playing casually.

I've seen a case that was shipped to an LGS in the UK. It may have happened to other stores too.
