Personally, i think these are worse than the hobbit movies, as at least they were good to watch, and you could come out having watched them relatively pleased with how much of the lore they included in them. These cards however, leave a sour taste in my mouth and i would prefer not to buy them considering they have been aware of the foil curling issues and bad QC of the last few sets and should really do better if they want us to keep purchasing $300 packs instead of paying rent or medical bills.

Please Note: I misspoke when describing the Scene Boxes as containing 6 cards, 1 of them "new." All 6 cards are new, but I felt only one per box had any notable value/function. The language should have been "There's only 1 new card of the 6 of any note" but got twisted to "There's only 1 new card of the 6" which obviously is incorrect. While this of course does not change the evaluation, prices, or final grade, I did want to acknowledge the error. I believe we accidentally used a practice draft of the audio at those 2 sections which is how we missed it in editing.

I over heard a conversation at my lgs where one of the clerks was to a customer and mention how that the majority of the scene boxes they had sold had been to people who had never played magic and just wanted them as a lotr collectible. I very much see this being a thing moving forward with universes beyond, where items are made more with collectors in mind who may never even play magic. As the business people would see it, its a way to sell a magic product to people who would never by magic. Long how this will effect the game I don’t really know, but needless to say, if there is short term profit to be had there WILL be short term profit made.

I don't know about that. Lotd of the rings is a MASSIVE IP, so it had a pull from lord of the rings collectors and mtg players. Regardless of the state of mtg, lord of the rings was set up for success. Unless you mean how mtg is probably on a very good place because of how incredibly well lord of the rings sold, but I don't think that was your implication.

On top of that, you provide us a way to easily play paper Magic with other fans which is just amazing! Honestly, I don't think I would've ever decided to get into Magic if it wasn't for you.

All you need to know is go look at single prices of the first scene boxes in this set. You can get them all as singles from TCG for 5-10 dollars total. Also, correct me if I’m wrong, but you can also get the cards that exist in these packs from the collector booster packs.
@snowmanO07
@snowmanO07 5 месяцев назад
Are you talking about the original scene boxes? If so, you would need to omit the box with the one ring. This set of boxes has exclusive releases (all the legendary creatures) that do not have alternate prints in standard set boosters, not to mention they are objectively better cards than Frodo, Faramir, Pippin, etc. While they are similar products, I don’t think you claim will last the test of time by any measure. They are available in the collector boosters, but those packs are even more expensive lol so other than the fact there will just be more of these cards in circulation beyond the scan boxes, I don’t think that changes the price all that much either.

@@snowmanO07 yes the original scene boxes. Yes the one ring (orcish bowmaster, Aragon the Uniter, and last March of the ents as well) definitely have value. But you can get almost all the other scene cards for a quarter or less, some at a dollar or 2. What I was saying is you can get the original scene cards for less than the prices of these boxes. Just my opinion but you can select the one with the one ring and bowmaster then just get singles of the rest and save money.

I'm so happy. I'm finally one of many Magic: The Gathering players that asked a question! I was wondering if we didn't just have Lord of the Rings. Seems like Wizards' business plan is over saturate the market with intellectual property and leave players' in a state of confusion where they just buy more pretty card stock.

So you can still buy the first LOT collector booster boxes, online at discounted prices. Have all of the serialized rings been found?

Secert lairs in a retail box so I'm not paying import/conversions. I like the idea!

I’ve seen them go for over 40 bucks in big stores and set booster packs are more than 5

Set boosters are $6.50, not sure why he would be off on that. That’s $4.50 he omitted from the value per box, which makes a significant difference.

"LOTR was the biggest product of the year, but we moved on." The most poignant takeaway from this whole video, in my opinion.

I put all of them in my cool stuff binder with the art cards behind them so then any of the cards that I do have decks the scene is still full.

I almost bought these scene boosters because I'm a fan of LOTR, thank goodness I saw the quality of the cards before doing that

That mace isn't that expensive to play(mana cost) because artifacts have the most and easiest mana discounts and equip costs can easily be cheated too, but even if it's not, that's a lot of abilities to throw on a creature

If you bought one: good advice, the box look better on shelf than… a frame.

I skipped original LotR release because I knew I'd pick up packs from wave 2. Pulled a Bowmasters, so *I* broke ahead, but I don't imagine my experience will be universal.

Weird that a “holiday release” happened in early November, which is like a month before even the smaller winter holidays

I rather want to see another set of starter kit to compliment the original. The jumpstart vol2 is too similar to vol1 that doesn't make sense to get.

Aragorn was the only one worth it for me personally, getting the single I wanted (Legolas Quick Reflexes is sitting pretty in my deck) and a little bit of gambling with the set boosters… The other boxes are a nope for me. That single and the set booster packs were around the same price as buying the single and the three packs. I wish the other boxes held that same value

Part of me is happy I got these for the art and the guarantee to have the original cards, the other part is kinda eh because, while nice, it was somewhat disappointing. I did get one scene box for my friend whose a mega LotR fan just for the art, but their happiness outweighs any price, so that made it worth it (even if they don’t play MtG at all and just really like the art)

Am I missing something, or is he saying only one of the cards in each scene box is original design? Aren’t all six in each box original?
@JonCoffeeRobot
@JonCoffeeRobot 5 месяцев назад
Yeah, I'm having difficulty understanding why one card is green with a star in the list, all six cards in each set are new designs that weren't printed in LTR or LTC already?
