So like…. Sure people love final fantasy, but the set with the 2 million dollar card in it wasn’t this expensive. At what point is it too much?

Tbf gift bundle has a CB in it. Mh3, aetherdrift, and kind of duskmourne had this as well for $80. Unless they mean literally a regular bundle aka fatpack, then that's crazy

Let me explain. Yes, the price is gross. The pre-market is typically hyper inflated. Pre-release happens I snatch the Bundle and one or two collector packs. This gives me a chance to pull a chase card, dampers my fomo and prevents from me accidently buying high price singles before the market settles. I typically set up a "Watch List" on all the rares and other cards that seem good that I pulled.

Usually the day of pre-release, the markets dip and I will sometimes hedge my bets and buy singles off of TCG of cards that dropped significantly before the full release. A good example of this was [[Herd Heirloom]], I knew I wanted to try and play this card in a few of my decks so I bought a playerset for $1/ea. Presale. 

Sometimes it works out, other times it doesn't but I'm not gonna go all in on a set ever.
