Could just be that he's on the up/hype with Simmons heading out of town

Possibly..

Maxey was impressive in spurts during the Playoffs.

Another guy is Thybulle. Very impressive and was great vs Team USA..

No, just not many people here qualify for Queue 1.

DSni13 · 07-14-2021, 11:55 AM

Looks like PQ1 will settle around a 1/5.5 chance.

Good odds, but not exactly a whales get all the perks percentage.

DSni13 · 07-14-2021, 12:02 PM

7841 for PQ1.

shu4040 · 07-14-2021, 12:18 PM

Yeah, it's something I see TS is doing to engage more buyers instead of sellers. Cool incentive. Anyone know if that is a permanent addition ?

I hope so, the CS's baseline for the queues will likely go up

Archangel1775 · 07-14-2021, 12:58 PM

Good luck to all those that get in a queue today!

Congrats ahead of time to those who scored!

brothertona · 07-14-2021, 01:03 PM

Yeah the marketplace bonus pushed me over 3000, so ideally they shrink the ques and make it 2500 to 5000 in the future, and 10000 or above.

I initially thought none of us would get a pack, but since someone already has, I'm pushing my guess to 3 members now.

DSni13 · 07-14-2021, 01:26 PM

Ive had a pretty good run so id rather miss this one than the next lego.

What is it? I don’t see it.

DSni13 · 07-14-2021, 01:49 PM

I think he is referring to the tweaked market place bonus. Before it was a net spend, but this go around, its 2 points per gross dollar spend up to 7500pts.

Personally, im not a huge fan of this specific iteration of MP bonus. Mainly because it gives an easy out to wash your pack pulls. You could rotate every lowest ask value you have in pack pulls and generate a 2x bonus on an exact repurchase.

That doesnt really incentivize new net spend which is what the MP needs.

Corporal Lance · 07-14-2021, 01:59 PM

I don't see the 2x spend per gross dollar lasting because its' easily manipulated.

Two people can sell each other the same card at a grossly inflated price back and forth. You would pay $50 in Dapper fees for every $1000 for a 2,000 CS boost.

The bonus is only added if you keep your moments:

The third bonus will give collectors two Collector Score points per dollar spent in the Marketplace on Moments the collector still owns. (Maximum 7,500-point Marketplace Bonus).

Yes, thats a good example as well, provided you both have a high enough balance to swap and then swap back without doing going through the process dozens and dozens of times. Too easy to game the bonus when thats not the intent of the bonus.

In my scenario you do. You repurchase what you sold and collect a bonus along the way.
