So are you getting 24 packs of each set, or 72 packs of each set? And is the 384$ for 288 AU packs and 288 FU packs, or is it 384$ each?

Once I know that I will give you my opinion . I will say now though, that when Maril, anti and I bought 288AU we pulled about 10 ultras(missing 3-4 of the set), pretty much all the supers, and then just had a butt-load of everything else that now sits in a box somewhere. If you want completion of a set, go for it; if you want to be more well-rounded and have a good variety of cards for deck building, consider the other option.

First of all, the AU and FUn 288x both combined plus shipping = $384 and

Second of all, it is 72 packs of each set so please give me a good choice?

and also btw, did they include cromaxx or ursis in them?

Idk about the 288 AU. There really isn't that much that someone would need. The 72 pack bundles would give much more variety.

Edit: But then again, 288 of any one set is a lot. I have like 40-50 of each lieutenant. idk what i'm going to do with 150-200 of only 4 different cards.
DoP, BtD, and AU have around 225 different cards total. All of the other sets have around 100, so you are going to get tons of the same thing...like tons. Pros and cons about both man, tough choice.

I'm still stuck in a dilemma?

No they did not. I would recommend your second option. 72 packs would give you a couple ultras of each set, and the 70 Premium pack cards gives you an amazing set up from the first 3 packs.

I still do not know exactly what your collection is like though, if you are seriously limited on AU and FU or you are pretty comfortable with the cards you have from the packs prior, then option 1 is still viable.

I dont have that many supers for AU and I certainly dont have Maxxor POP or Chaor TF! and I WANT THEM BADLY!!

But.................

I dont have maxxor the original or chaor original either!      

Any other suggestions?

I really wish I wasn't a teenager in an economy that's hiring anyone but but I was playing around with prices and noticed that after shipping and all, from 14 starters and up, the cost for each starter drops to less than $8 after shipping calculations  now I'm not saying to buy all of them in one go though since I'd prefer if you saved some for me 

Well if you want the Chaors/Maxxors, why not just buy singles?

I think the biggest issue is finding the card and actually getting it for a reasonable price, unless you're saying you have extras blzv

LOL why would I have extras? You just have to keep checking Ebay/Craigslist/Toywiz, whatever you can to see when a decent deal comes up. Liz rotates through TONS of cards.

other than that Kaal and Bloot up on eBay right now I haven't seen a good ultra on eBay for a long while unfortunately  not counting premium foils that is

I made up my mind. I'm going with #2 right now then. Maybe another month or 2, i'll buy the AU and FUn 288x packs but if my luck is really good, i would probably come upon the ultras and supers that i want in the 72 pack that i will get. *Fingers Crossed*

There are tons here. Including a 99cent Najarin Younger.

yea I've seen it, that's where I saw Kaal and referenced it

Liz has good price but she doesn't have a "Buy it now" button. First we gotta bid and then their is a fear, other people will bid more than u, than u bid more than him, then they bid more than u and it goes on forever until we bid like $100     so No DEAL FROM MY SIDE!  

is sballocollection liz's account?

Yea Sir!   

That is why you set an alarm on your phone to go off 15 minutes before the auction, and then snipe it. I never bid more than once for an item, and I think I've only lost 1 auction before(because I didn't check).

new stuff just came out so I'm happy even though I lost the Getterek bid like 5 hours ago   

Good plan but won't suit me. lol   

I'll sell you a Getterek Bought one from liz and then realized I don't play UW.

keep it for collection?  

possibly later on I just went on a little rampage and bid for like 7 things then realized I don't have much money right now
