Kids collected garbage pail kids too. I think most are underestimatating what in game ads about this products existence can do for sales. Nobody is suggesting this will be 300-400 a box months after release, but there are plans to do several releases. I wouldn't be surprised if holofoils and the mega box exclusives bring in decent coin from fans of the game. Panini isn't stupid for chasing a fan base that has 40 million + users. Heck, that is probably 10 times the amount of sportscard collectors. These people spend a TON of money monthly on buying digital content, so why not physical content too. No doubt they missed the opportunity to print money with loot cards. Maybe they will square that away with the next release.
