I did the very same thing last night. I assume we are on the same membership tier at a certain Big 3 site that allows access to that pricing. Seemed too good to pass up, although it does have me paranoid a bit that they know something about the set we don't which could cause a decrease in interest after release (overabundance of redemptions, etc.) since this @ $175/hobby versus Elite @ $225/hobby makes no sense at all if this is the same Chronicles we got last year, generally speaking. I'm hoping it's just compensation for retail releasing earlier and the perceived impact that could have on the aftermarket.
I'm kind of viewing this as my last hurrah w/ ripping Panini WWE, since I figure Immaculate will follow suit with Impeccable and be obscenely overpriced with a probable decrease in overall quality.
I think Chronicles is the most fun of all the Panini sets to rip b/c of the variety, and as Joshi indicated above it's one of the rare sets where you can strike out on the autos but still do okay. Having your ceiling be the very high-end of so many desirable sets (Optic, National Treasures, Noir, etc.) is pretty darn sweet. And the average case break seemed pretty strong to me last year, at least based on my memory of those who shared results in the case break threads.
