I agree. i do go for getting cards early and the trade/sell value of some of the cards will be great. Before the set releases. Besides, my local stores at pre-release time give out 3 participation packs and prizing depending on how well you do (and how many attend). Basically, players would be getting 7-12 packs (includes the 4 from the kit) of the new set early. And don't forget, that packs recieved from a pre-release have a better pull ratio than the packs after the official release date IMO.Don't know how to feel about this. It will be a nice starter kit for new players, however it takes away a lot of the exclusivity of going to a prerelease and getting an exclusive promo plus new packs early. This will hurt prerelease attendance, however we do still get the cards earlier at prereleases which is a big part of the appeal
