I was leaning toward interspecies erotica...but not totally sure who's who.

Well, for those old set's, $20 was fine. Prices have gone up a bit since then. And given that I've seen the costs on this CWSLOP stuff, I can tell you that at $10 a booster, your store probably lost money. Maybe they broke even, if they didn't get stuck with any leftover boosters.

If your store can afford to do that, and the owner is actually aware and is cool with it, great. Not every store needs to turn a profit on Clix events to stay open. I just hope its not a case of someone taking advantage of a store owners trust and screwing them out of money.

$20 for two boosters 9 years ago was the MSRP. Since then, the MSRP for regular packs has gone up to $13. If they're still charging that price, well, they're making money over the cost of the product, but not much. Charging that much for Civil War, where the price per case was the same but there were four less packs to sell per case (hence the higher MSRP of $16), they lost money on the events.

Would never play that venue again. Judges for the most part don't actually do anything, if anything all they deserve is a pat on the back

Cool. You do it.

That's where it gets a little tricky...

The "Case" of CS contained sixteen boosters and two Prize Kits as one purchase, instead of splitting it into two SKU.

Previously, most Venues covered the cost of the Prize Kits instead of passing them along to players. Indeed, many players held a low opinion of Venues which tried to pass the costs along like that.

The MSRP for Civil War, on the other hand, passes that cost along to players. It's set as if the Venue pays for the boosters and gets the two Kits for free.

It's always nice when someone makes a stupid comment. I like reading the replies.

You are the laziest troll I've seen in a while. And that's saying something.

And that was done, I believe for two reasons. Concerns were raised in the past about venues paying for OP kits and eating the cost* and secondly, taking packs out made the set work better for battle royales anyway. This was a good attempt by WK to alleviate concerns about the cost of OP kits.

*Yes, yes, it's a promotional cost, but it's still a concern that's been raised. Fear Itself included the OP kits with the cases, albeit in a different form and charged venues more per case IIRC, which is why some stores charged more for that one.

you would be very surprised.

If you have "judged" and believe that then I doubt you did anything close to actually judging

Whatever the judge is given for compensation, he is NOT getting paid and is still a volunteer, unless he's getting cash or debit cards that can be used to buy fuel for the car, tires, food, pay rent, or cover any real expenses, etc, then it's not at all the same as being given an LE or a 10% discount at the local comic shop. Seriously, he's still a volunteer, and in fact from the real perspective I just gave, he is in fact paying to be the volunteer, especially when he has to make a long drive completely out of his way to be there to judge. Even when no one shows up for the event. Again, an LE figure or a 10% discount is appreciated, but it is in no way getting paid to do what I (and other judges) do.

I guarantee you that I pay more just in fuel costs every single time I go to the shop, than I'd be paying if I bought the weekly 2 dollar LE figure I get. I don't buy comics, and only occasionally buy a single figure, typically $5 to $10 worth, so saving a few dimes on those is not getting paid to judge. I'm not complaining at all, just giving a real perspective.

Ooh, ye-heah

I disagree. You might think it's as easy as just asking someone to take over the position, but from experience, I can tell you that it's not. Most players actively do not want to be the judge. And that goes for the majority of veteran players, who are the ones you'd want. I've been told more than once when I've asked, that they prefer to play not set up and run the events. It's also a commitment, week after week, not just a matter of being a rules referee.

For whatever reasons, most people won't do it.
