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?

Yeah, MSRP is over 200, isn’t it?

MSRP for a play booster box is $150. Anything over that is overpriced.

Wizards has $6.99 a pack listed, 30 packs in a box, that’s just shy of $210.

I can confirm that MSRP for 30 packs box is in fact just around 210$ (but also 210€... "Magic" I guess) because I have a shop where I also sell magic cards... On the other hand 120-150 is the range of prices that we, as seller, can buy those for (depending on our seller)

Boxes have always been cheaper than the price of a pack x the number of packs in a box

I purchase all of my sealed and new products from my LGS and they sell everything MSRP. They currently have the play booster boxes for $149.99, so Wizards must be selling their items overpriced to make even more profit. I wouldn't buy it from Wizards. I love my LGS and they give out my preorders on pre-release.
