When SCG dumps Legacy as part of the Open series no later than 2015(effectively killing the format), I'll laugh at all of the people that spent so much on this just for a foil JTMS.
Then I'll laugh when the price drops for a moment and gets high again because of EDH. While JtMS isn't super-broken in EDH, it is still quite good in decks that can protect him (Pillowfort, Stax etc).

ROFL... This is just another cash grab for store owners. Good for the guys who are selling, bad for the rest of us.

In case I didn't tell you, I don't care about your opinion I just want your facts. And not the facts that make you seem smart. I want the ones that are actual facts.
Do we know for sure at this point if this is being printed in the same numbers as the past few?
If so, this may be the most questionable thing they've ever done,
in a year that contained both CA and MM.
Seriously- JtmS is worth more than the #1 money cards of Realms, Legends, and Relics combined.
And it's only one of 20 cards, rather than 15.
This could be a real nightmare, even for just one.

I'm not exactly following how the rich get richer by blowing $400 on (reprinted) trading cards.
Speculators and collectors can afford to buy multiple of these for over MSRP from stores and flip them for a huge profit in the secondary market. Meanwhile the people who missed the boat to pick Jace (non-foil) for less $50 was probably thinking it was too high. They'll never get the chance to pick it up again for cheap.
You mean by blowing $40 a box on reprinted and highly sought after trading cards?
If you can find it for that. There will of course be some shops that will sell these for msrp or thereabouts, but those shops will be few and far between, like always, and even moreso now than before.

in seriousness it actually is cheaper to buy 4 boxes of this than just two WW JTMS foils and yes i do see this FTV JTMS being nearly double that of the non foil WW because this is a cheaper alternative to pimp the Pimp of Planeswalkers
Old Jace art is awesome, most iconic planeswalker artwork imo.
I won't dispute it being iconic by virtue of the card to which it's attached, but that doesn't make it a good piece of art. It demonstrates a concerted need to fit artwork into an abbreviated space for the sake of the card's abilities, not talent. Jace may as well be explaining that he caught a fish 'thiiiiiis big'.
We may have different taste, I'm willing to admit. I prefer my planeswalkers to be doing something dynamic instead of just standing around looking 'cool'.
Does that mean I won't elbow alongside everybody else for one of the box sets? Of course I will. It's a nostalgia trip, and worth the price of admission as long you don't plan on doing something crazy like opening it.
Well I'm just glad I'm an MTGO player and can get these without a hassle of pre-ordering or waiting in lines or lotteries for MSRP.
Point me in the direction of these shops that do lotteries for these at MSRP please! Yeah the average player is gonna get shut out of owning this one....

All 5 New Dimension Comics in Pittsburgh, PA and around sell at MSRP and have lotto's for these things - you get free entry by playing in FNM's and other events.

Depending on if another legacy/modern staple card makes it into this set (wasteland, FoW, Thoughseize), I wonder how much modo had to do with some of these choices, as this really has the chance to be a sweet modo box set to get people into those formats, since for $140 you get playsets of 20 cards.

why do they even have an msrp, seems silly because things like this are rarely ever sold for

So they can offer up at least the illusion of generosity, I would imagine.
