What if you could buy an entire booster box?

Postby Joker3346 » Tue Mar 28, 2023 9:18 am

Imagine if you could buy a lot more packs. My favorite part is opening but I never really get the chance to get that many. I JUST think it would be awesome to really have the chance to have more packs.

Do they sell booster boxes of NFTs? The only ones I know about are those hybrid DC ones. If they did for digital, I would.

I won't mind a booster box, but I'm ok with some packs every drop once in a few weeks.
I love the Digital Pops / NFT thing as it is a bit addictive lol

I like the idea of this bc you’ll have more chances for pulls. The only downside is that I feel like they would need to make these super limited to maintain the pack sizes or make the drop several thousand to accommodate this. I can’t even imagine how much 1 would cost but I feel like there would be demand

The TMNT release basically did this by having a $300 limit, and it resulted in a few whales getting a ton of packs and setting really high floor prices for everything. If it was one of the bigger sets like Avatar or DC, sure, but I wouldn’t like it for a regular sized set.
Please Funko make Taylor Swift Pops!

Will the booster box guarantee a grail? If the pull rates is the same or same price I don't really see the point.

Same thoughts here, boosters would be cool but addictive = expensive... lol

Cool idea! But the multiple premium packs I buy at times are killing my pockets. Can’t imagine being able to keep up with booster packs. lol

I think the only way a booster box would work is if the packs/ NFTs inside would be unsellable after retail purchase. Otherwise there is no difference than just buying multiple packs.

With a box, you could buy more at one time and circumvent the pack limit, no?

Do booster boxes normally sell at a slightly discounted rate or the same as if you had purchased all the packs individually?

I guess it could save the hassle of buying so many individual packs since you could get bulk in one click. Interesting idea!

It's all hypothetical but if they were to make them, it would either be a new purchase option or secondary market only.

I believe typically the cost of a booster box for traditional TCGs would be the same as buying them individually. The advantage to buying a whole (sealed) box is you guarantee pulls.

For NFTs, I can't think of a way to make this fair so that the same people with bots aren't just auto getting legendaries or grails. At least right now even if packs sell fast, the random/lottery nature of opening packs means anyone can get lucky.

Gotcha, that’s what I thought. For traditional TCGs, I think the only time I’ve seen discounted prices were from third party sellers. So maybe bundles on atomic could be the closest thing to a booster box?

Yeah I just wanted more packs. Everyone making a good point about the prices being worse on secondary market. The thrill of ripping is the best part but you also gotta have luck. Was hoping a booster box would increase those chances and give you your momeys worth. I didnt know you could get 300 worth for tmnt. That must of been crazy.
