So, this means nothing?
"Massdrop takes a group of people that each want to buy the same thing, combines their order, and places that order directly with the manufacturer. As a result, everybody in the group gets the large quantity price while only having to buy one (or two, or ten). (Pro Tip: The bigger the group, the better price that everyone will get!)"

AngryToddlerMassdrop won't be below MSRP, but neither will your LGS. By doing a group buy, Massdrop won't be selling below MSRP but still significantly below what most LGS will be selling it at.

AngryToddlerOur suppliers aren't selling the cards to us at significant discounts because they can move them at $250-$300 a box all day long. Why this should be any different that any other product, is because the demand for this product is so high that distributors/suppliers charge what the market can bear. (Also the supply is fixed, unlike any other set).
Why would a supplier sell cards to us at $140 if they can sell them on their site or ebay or whatnot for $250-$300 a box?
With a "regular" set, a distributor's sales are incremental. They sell 200 boxes a week to a dozen LGS, and then Massdrop orders 100 and they just get more from wizards. There's no "just get more from Wizards" that applies to MM.
