Good call IMO. Those things still haunt the shelves of Walmarts, Targets and Kmarts (and game shops haha)
It'll take some time for me to earn enough cash to buy them all hahahaha.
No.
What I could suggest for the elite trainer box is if they don't do it four times a year, that they don't associate the ETB with the main set. Instead, if the ETB was released twice a year, include boosters from the 2 latest sets instead...
... but then again, I haven't seen anybody play a limited game, sealed or draft, with boosters from different sets, so I don't know if the ETB should have all the same boosters or 4 from the latest set, and 3 from the second latest set.
My vision of the ETB is to be a sealed/draft ready product right out of the box, without any additional purchases. So far it seems to achieve that task, although I wished it had 10 of each energy instead, but looking at the cards that I pulled, it is impossible to make a mono type deck, and would probably make a 2 or 3 type deck anyway, and thus using at least 2 types of energy. Sealed deck format has 40 cards and not 60 cards, so 5 of each energy is probably enough anyway.
Before people get confused, sealed deck format is NOT opening theme decks and playing them against each other. Sealed deck IS opening 6 boosters, and building a 40 card deck out of them, and battling someone who did the same thing. Of course energy counts as part of that 40 card deck, and the rest of the cards, well, since there is no side deck, I guess they aren't part of the deck.
