    Are you really paying $90 for a draft booster box? I’ve already been paying more like $120 or $130, not including tax or shipping.

    If we assume prices are going up by 50%, I guess that means I’ll be paying $180 - $200 now. Steep, to be sure. But I buy three or four boxes a year, and I’m mostly doing it to support my LGS, so the actual price is sort of a secondary concern. I don’t love it, but I don’t think it’ll break the bank.

      I was actually still getting them for $92 shipped as a pre-order a few sets ago, but I think you could still get them for $100 in the last set.

      You’re right that it’s a good way to support the LGS but it’s going to definitely reduce my spending.
