This price is same as any day of the week on ebay, in print boxes & cases from reputable hobby shops. Remember (local shops selling local is WoTC's policy) ONLY brick & mortar shops can even get WoTC dealer status which is the only way to get wholesale pricing on their merchandise, any totally online reseller must buy from one of those shops thus pricing newer get's lower than this. No matter what $144 is not a number you'll see on in print boxes.

T3_Lair1) We don't compare our prices to Ebay prices, ever. 2) Magic card prices vary a lot based on your location. If you're fortunate enough to have a LGS sell you boxes at WOTC cost, then you'll always get a better price than anywhere else. LGS also have a quantity limit that they are allowed to order from Wizards. 3) Our sitewide policy it to list our discounts relative to MSRP's (whenever available). MSRP stands for Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price. This is different from what stores actually sell product for (which varies by location and is subjective). This is an objective measure that doesn't change. Here's Wizards official marketing document that states the MSRP of a Booster Box. http://www.wizards.com/ContentResources/Wizards/Sales/Solicitations/2013_03_04_DGMProd_Solicitation_en_US.pdf. 4) I check Starcity games (and other sites) on a frequent basis and I'm pretty sure our prices, shipped in the USA, are almost always lower than theirs. 5) Comparing the price of a product shipped to your door, versus paying for Gas/bus ticket/time to drive to an LGS and pickup a box locally are comparing apples and oranges. Even then, online prices(or on Massdrop) are often cheaper than an LGS.

MarkYou're not getting any better price than anyone else can because WoTC controls who can get dealer pricing, that is all I was pointing out. Honestly, nixing "LGS" that sell on ebay as legit comparison is disingenuous at best. eBay pricing tends to mirror TCGP prices because both are LGS only when it comes to sealed product (there's no profit in it for non-LGS). Frankly TCGP is where you SHOULD be comparing pricing info from not SCG's /Troll&Toad/etc... high priced site.
Policy is policy but Manf. Suggested Ridiculous price tends to be grossly more than street, by nearly $50 or almost 30% in this case. My impression was that MD was about getting great deals by organizing group buys yet these are the same deals I can get any day as an individual so I am rightly IMHO confused.

T3_LairWe don't look at ebay prices for any products, Magic or non-magic, so we're not nixing LGS' that sell on ebay.
We keep an eye on TCGP as well. I currently am unable to find a price for Dragon's maze that is lower than $87.99 shipped.

MarkWhy $87.99 shipped? Your asking $91.99 shipped. The 1st three on the list already beat your price and the next few match it.

T3_LairIf it reaches the last tier, then it'll be 87.99 shipped

It's not a terrible price but it's also nothing special can't be gotten any day of the week, welcome to WoTC selling restrictions. enjoy.
