Is UD off their rockers?

2015 Dinosaurs release looks interesting, but not at $100 a box and considering the odds of pulling an audio card or fossil relic.

If it drops to under $50, I may buy a box or two because that's what the content seems like it should be worth.

As crazy as it sounds, it's been a really popular product, especially for kids.

still hard for me to see $100/box price point when there is no licensing required and the typical hits are a sketch card and manufactured patches. The audio card and fossils have long odds that I can't see them being a huge expense to UD to justify a $100 box.

If UD wants to price gouge parents, fine. I'm just holding off for a reasonable box price.

Artwork for base and even sketch cards coulda been a thousand times better!

I just looked at you tube. Do you really only get 2 packs of cards for 100 bucks??????

Well, the fossil redemptions are arguably the best cards you can pull and depending on the fossil, you can probably actually buy one of your choice without having to worry about buying a case or whatever to nail one down.

Cool idea, epic fail!

the product descriptions I"m seeing say 20 packs per box, 5 cards per pack.

if I've done the math right, odds of the audio cards are 1 in 25 boxes, fossils are 1 in 50 boxes.

Considering all the pointless, worthless, incredibly expensive junk parents buy for their kids, this seems like a pretty worthwhile purchase. Maybe they'll learn something. If this existed in the 80's, I would have wanted it; still remember trying (and failing) to complete the 1986-87 Panini Dinosaurs sticker album.
