Is It Worth It To Buy A MTG LotR Scene Box?
Hello everyone! In this video we open all 4 of the new Magic: The Gathering The Lord of the Rings Tales of Middle-Earth Scene Boxes and then perform a little 'profit analysis' (if you can even call it that) at the end which simply consists of scanning all of the cards into the DelverLens App and looking at the total / some individual card prices.
Disclaimer: This video is entirely for entertainment purposes. Please do not make any purchasing decisions based on the content within. Trading collectables on a secondary market always carries an inherent risk of loss and I am not responsible for any losses that you may incur. Even in the 8 hours between filming, editing, and posting this video many of the cards have shifted drastically in price. Perform your own due diligence. That being said, I hope that this video can serve as a fun snapshot of one individual's personal experience with purchasing, unboxing, and pricing this cool new product.
Also worth mentioning, the reason that there is a price difference between the Scene Cards when opened vs. what was in DelverLens is because the prices on the Scene Cards during the opening were placed there during editing, many hours later, and I pulled the prices directly from the TCGPlayer website at that time. The DelverLens prices are not updated as frequently. As it stands these prices are fluctuating up and down frequently with quite a lot of volatility. The cards from the Set Boosters are much less volatile in price, but of course also always changing.
With all of that being said, this was a very fun box opening for me. As a fan of both Magic: The Gathering and the Lord of the Rings IP I love this crossover set and seeing all of the cool cards, and I hope that you enjoy seeing them too! =)
