@fullincense @TolarianCollege @Kickstarter I agree, I set an alarm to be ready and probably hit pledge 150 times across my phone's app and two diff browsers on my pc as I watched quantities dwindle to 0... happy for your success!!!

[Ryan Payne @MageCraftRyan]

@TolarianCollege @Kickstarter I've been spamming pledge for 53 mins since it went live to get the early backer... no luck as I watch quantities dwindle.

@StickerApp I’m not satisfied with the color accuracy of my printed project. I’ve reached out to your team via email and have gotten no attempts at resolution. I have clients with project deadlines. This is very unprofessional.

[Ryan Payne @MageCraftRyan]

@MythicMeebo @MTG_Arena same!

[Ryan Payne @MageCraftRyan]

@TolarianCollege @maro254 Let’s say I’m a Super Whale: I don’t enjoy paying more for virtually the same packs just because I can. If I can buy all of the cards and you can’t, that’s not good for me; who would I play with??? I want to buy everything with mtg on it, but this is silly & irresponsible to buy.

[Ryan Payne @MageCraftRyan]

@BlakFishy @MTGSecretLair What is the price point?

[Ryan Payne @MageCraftRyan]

@SaffronOlive How can you pay to block?

@eBay @wizards_magic I just got an email asking me to confirm or decline Hasbro’s request to cancel my purchase. What’s the correct response???

@DaBestErok @wizards_magic @eBay Timed print run. Easy. Works for screen prints - another piece of printed collectible sold on the internet...

[Ryan Payne @MageCraftRyan]

@wizards_magic @eBay Just got my Dear John email from eBay. Beyond disappointed!

[Ryan Payne @MageCraftRyan]

@Sandman208 @CantyCanadian @elpez3 @eBay @wizards_magic And if flippers on the secondary market bought an additional 100k units and flood the market and cause drop in the value, they are mainly hurting themselves - so in that way it is mildly self regulating.

[Ryan Payne @MageCraftRyan]

@Sandman208 @CantyCanadian @elpez3 @eBay @wizards_magic I don’t care if the print run was 12k or 24k, that’s relative to demand at the time of sale. As an actual player and fan I want a set of foil alternate art cards for my collection/cube. These cards will appreciate due to their limited status even if the run was timed printing.

[Ryan Payne @MageCraftRyan]

@Sandman208 @CantyCanadian @elpez3 @eBay @wizards_magic People still scam the system on eBay with an 8 minute window & the people who are good at it get most of the units for resale. A timed release would help the consumer who wants one to have one - not those who want to buy them and flip them. They would still appreciate in value.

[Ryan Payne @MageCraftRyan]

@Sandman208 @CantyCanadian @elpez3 @eBay @wizards_magic It’s not where to sell it, but how. A timed limited release pre-order over a two day period. Orders are spread over a larger timespan and everyone who wants one can get one.

[Ryan Payne @MageCraftRyan]

@wizards_magic Check out how screen printers sell timed editions. You have a finite amount of time to order your poster and then the print run is capped and number as such. Still limited, still rare, never printed again — but everyone who wants one gets one. Seems like a better fit for this.

[Ryan Payne @MageCraftRyan]

@RekrapMot @wizards_magic Also got a retry in, fingers crossed. At this point I'm worry they may take it back off the front porch even if it gets delivered. Thanks for the heads-up!
