I bought a 16 box case of Ant-Man & The Wasp for $520. It was on clearance. Well the clearance price now is $940. Remember, this is them doing clearance prices. When will this madness end. :doh:

You will never see Marvel at those prices again as long as UD has the license. Distributors know these products sell at ePacks' asking price, and they hold Marvel product back, cut pre-orders, and then leak it onto the market at elevated prices. This is layered on top of the Marvel price jump generally. Not a COVID tax, but UD figuring out how to sell direct to the consumer and get the SRP. DA and others will never again have surplus cases to blow out.

The "A Fool and his Money" parable apply here.

I'm definitely taking a break. I've been buying Marvel boxes since the pandemic started and prices are way too high now. Plus I have no clue when I'll be receiving my EPack cards...

Here is another example. Marvel Avengers Kree-Skrull War - 12 Box Case. Remember $99 cases. Well, its now $550. If BO sells out, I may sell my 2 cases on Ebay.
