PSA: Holiday Gift Box. DO NOT BUY

Economics forum

Posted on Nov. 13, 2015, 4:46 p.m. by VampireArmy

professors video on it

Why?

  • no full art land (despite image on the box)

  • improved box but still flimsy and crumples like nothing

  • overpriced even at Target/Wal-Mart at $25 before tax.

Edit: link changed. Linking from phone screwed me up. Apologies.

Are you aware of the changes they have made to this year's Gift Box? The video you linked is not a good source of info for the 2015 box.

DrFunk27 if you're referring to the link, it's been changed. If you're referring to the product itself, it's only been out a few weeks and now that it's closer to the holidays, i find it to be a good idea to warn people of these things

VampireArmy Yeah, you ninja'd me on that lol But we've known they won't have Full Art lands since they announced this years Gift Box.

Well the box still shows full arts as part of the contents. It's very misleading. Especially for parents picking it up for thier kids

VampireArmy Now THAT is something good to know. Sneaky Wizards. It's kinda cheap they didn't include them. They are all going to be hella cheap anyways.

Now THAT link is relevant. Not only that, but I'm disappointed in WOTC over this. They specifically went out of their way to discuss how much better the product would be, and it really isn't that much better, and that's without mentioning the land debacle.

I may have to bring this up on the next episode of my podcast. Thank you for the PSA!

Edit: Weird....You and I started our comments the same way, DrFunk27. lol

my lgs sold it to me for 20. Considering he has boosters for $3.50 each (or 3 for $10) I was able to get a fair deal on it,making the box only cost $3 out of my pocket. I honestly think they should have made the MSRP $20 though.
