Well I know you're just being difficult, admittedly so, but I'll explain further.
I'm a big player of the game, but still a collector at heart as well. I want all the figures, LEs included. I don't care about after market price or if certain figures will be worth more than others. I'm not planning on selling these figures. I'm planning on collecting them and playing with them. If more LEs in circulation drops some of the secondary market prices, I'm all for it. LE's to the people!

this will definitely drive me to buy a case or two, but this really cheapens the value of le's far more than ultimates did. There was a time when winning clint barton was worth celebrating, but when you have three, and everyone else has three, it makes them seem more like generics than le's. I am torn really. Now I have a better shot at completing le sets quicker, but their worth will make it annoying to trade for other, older things i need. Now if most of the le's everyone gets are u men and the lower levels, then maybe I can deal with this better. But if you have the same chance to get a marquee prize as a puck le, then I will be annoyed. I am already angry that frank castle was realesed as a judges prize also (diminishing the whole point of the marquee and the rareness of the figure). Now I don't know if the maquee prizes of old were given as judge's rewards (first place prizes, i know second place ones were given already), but still it makes the point of the tournaments moot. And i'm not a "cheesy" cutthroat player who usually wins every le they offer. My thor ig hooker teams are few and far between. So his is the voice of a loser who trades for the figures. This takes away the thrill of winning and also trading. Maybe i'll just sell my extras now that things are becoming more common.

... hence people with come to play for fun, which should lead to more people playing. LE prize support tends to keep the same 3-4 people coming and drive the newbies away more often, as newbies come to play a fun game.

Yes, they have been. Part of it is that some Judges do not get a chance to play for the pieces. So, They can either run it and are garanteed to get the fellowship prize. Or not run one, have more people go to any other Marquees in the area and reduce thier chances of maybe winning the piece.
Man, Brother Magneto. I'm not sure it's physically possible for me to be much more excited about this set than I am now! After all the cool previews, now this, another possible 3 Super-Rares per case??? Awesome!
Maybe you guys were right when you talked about Terminal Excitement...
And I have to agree with those who have said they are glad not to be completists. My head is already swimming thinking about the quantity of trading that will be going on once this set hits.
"I'll trade one Unique and an LE for a Super-Rare..."
Will anyone here actually try for all the LEs as well as all the Super-Rares?
Is good for those of us with no desire to go to tournaments. This way we have a chance of getting some of those sweet LE stats without being bent over a barrell on Ebay.
