I haven't even see this movie yet — but want to.

I've been waiting for it to hit the stream machine...

but I may be forced to just rent it since it appears that may not happen for some time

Craig was the best Bond in my lifetime and I saw they all except for Lazenbee.

Craig and Dalton were my favourites. They were both also the closest to Fleming's Bond.

Dalton's Bond (not the films) is criminally underrated.

I agree but I also adore Living Daylights. Pound for pound, might be my favorite Bond movie in the franchise. Dalton got such a raw deal, Roger Moore held on for way too long.

I think I might have to tap out doing golds too. I'm losing my mind to the grind.

Going to throw this out there though I figure it will be booed off stage by collectors.

Packs cost $8 for 7? 'cards', or about $1 a 'card'. I'd be happy to sell digital base for $1 per + a $2 transaction fee to make the paypal invoice, go into epacks to create the trade, etc.

Yes, they are worthless. Yes, you are paying for time and stress reduction, also a non-physical item.

What does the crowd think of that idea?

More generally, if anyone could come up with a way to monetize digital base to make it worthwhile to deal with them, happy to hear it. I generally don't bother to make combinations so have plenty, but making trades is a horror show and dealing with the mooks even worse.

For those of you who want to spend less time chasing trades to make combinations, figuring this out would be the way to ease your own pain.

Learned a new word today - mook.

That said it appears the momentum has ceased for now with this product.

28 big banger achievements still left.

Yeah but if you have seen some of the big dogs post which talks about paying for these they have said 0.25-0.40 for base and or Heracles or even Ice.

It's a ridiculous amount of effort to get a big banger for the average joe. The whales will have got 5, 6, 7 each.

The trade economy for this set is all kinds of messed up and all over the place, thirsty peeps treating the Ana De Armas base and Heracles like a cure for cancer

I found that people were treating the Ice parallels like a black sheep too. Really weird.

If anyone would like to take everything from me other than golds, portraits, autos and mems... feel free to make me a bulk offer preferably for one of those <-------------

username is the same as on here

Trading is pretty much dead, and Gold Rainbow parallels only going for a few bucks.

RIP.

Upper Decks marketing is unique to say the least. Targeting the super rich with achievements and then the peasants are asked to help the super rich complete the achievements. I think they could sell more packs with a more aggressive pricing pattern I.E. mark down products that aren't selling. But I guess sitting on product for years just works for Upper Deck.

Agreed, the only thing that seems to hold value is the Ana de armas autos which the rich already took all of anyway.

I've got one of them, a patch auto that I pulled out of two random packs, and they can try and prize it from my hands when I'm dead
