JonneyMoonYou do understand that in order to include expensive boxes like Zendikar, Innistrad, Scars of Mirrodin and so on that cost hundreds more than the sale price that there has to be boxes worth less to offset that cost, correct. That is what makes these drops feasible.
Yes, Massdrop could run a cheaper grab bag for $75 and simply include all boxes that sell for $70-$80 but then there would be no chance of getting any really valuable box.. it is the trade off that needs to be there if you want really valuable boxes included in a grab bag scenario

scedaveI absolutely agree with what you're saying. My point is that this "grab bag" is not random in the sense of selection. There was a bias by Massdrop and that was to disguise this drop as a way to unload undervalued product. Now, I could be wrong and those that did get a 1% box didn't respond to the thread, then my theory wouldn't be true. But with what evidence we have now, it's pretty clear that all low valued boxes were distributed first (or possibly only distributed). It's a cheap tactic to mislead customers this way, but possibly legal. This review is just a warning to others that this is not randomly selected, it is selected distribution to random customers.

JonneyMoonThat makes sense.. I didnt realize that no one reported getting a good box at all.. I saw under the Fat Pack Grab bag where someone got an Innistrad and someone else got a Scars of Mirrodin so I figured if customers got good ones there the same would hold true here. But, I do think more boxes, closer to the total available, are being bought in the Fat Pack Grab Bags so the odds of someone getting valuable ones would be higher..
The best way to know would be to have one of these grab bags sell 100% and know what every customer received.

Got Born of the Gods, fun to randomly draft in a chaos pool, but purchased at overvalued price.
