So I wanted to buy Avatar and Spiderman, but the prices are...you know...

Sorry for ranting, I needed to get this out there. I don't hate, UB, but this whole situation is ridiculous.

As much as I like opening collector packs, I'm not made of money. When they're $30 or under, it doesn't hurt as much to only pull the minimum value from packs. It's not so fun when they're starting at $40 and then double or triple in price. And then boxes are sitting at $700+. And this is before release?

*"Just buy the play booster box and stop whining*." Not at $180 a box or $8 a booster for a standard set*.*

*"That's just the way things are now."* Sadly.

Seriously, new players shouldn't start the hobby by being gouged for all they're worth. This is how you kill a hobby. Sadly, this is the current expectation for this market and I doubt anything will change unless UB just tanks out of nowhere.

As much as it hurts to say, I'm skipping Avatar. Unless there's a really insane deal on this stuff somewhere, I'm skipping what was one of my favorite upcoming sets of the year.

What the heck did I get back into the game for?
