Japanese packs are sold through US distribution. Try again.

Literally not what I said. Thanks for trying.

Violating terms to sell these boxes online is not worth the added $5 in value to those boxes' price. Risk vs reward isn't there. Will some idiot do it? Sure. Will they get caught? Yes. Will they be punished? Absolutely.

"I preordered boxes from a vendor who cut me a deal, I'm selling them now on eBay and when I get them, I get promos, so the promos are included" What rule is that breaking?

So your point is that someone somewhere is going to game the system so the whole thing is a wasted effort? Fine, you win - it's a wasted effort. Meanwhile I doubled my initial order because I'll sell a month's worth of product in a weekend because of this promotion.

I mean...once again literally not what I said, but don't let that stop you. Are you honestly telling me that "Getting a 6 mana casual commander card" is going to sell a MONTH's worth of extra product? Like...are you going from 4 boxes to 8 boxes?

So here's the thing: People like the idea of supporting their LGS, but online pricing usually wins out. A good promo is often just enough of a nudge to tip the scales. This promo is special and is likely to have a non-zero value. That + early release is enough to tip the scales.

Yes...I know. But the idea that it's going to do you a MONTH of revenue in 3 days I think is not going to be reflected in reality, unless your usual release month is like 1-2 cases.
