I think they should have just remade the decks and sold them separately instead of as a bundle. Too pricey for a lot of people.
Yeah, but who would've bought a bundle of just the decks? WOTC doesn't always throw darts at the wall - I'm sure that they did their homework on this one and came up with the answer "In order to maximize profit, we'll bundle the last four decks (aka the ones people want) with all the planes. That way people interested in getting the planes will have to pay a little more for the decks, but not at the price point we'd have to have it if we had all eight decks."

I'm buying this for the planes themselves, the decks are just gravy. Aftermarket prices for the all of the planes together are already higher than the price point of this package. So in that regard it's still a good deal, regardless of the original prices.

I'm with this 100%. Already paid in full.
Same here. Just to give a better idea to those who probably haven't looked in to it, all 86 planar cards individually added up to $330cdn, while the whole box set cost $200cdn. Already reserved mine.

And technically all the commons and uncommons that are under $1 give any product far more value than it is, but people don't usually count things like that. Not to mention reprinting all of the planes will drop their price, probably around half since the planes are so niche.
Seems like you can find this much lower than MSRP, Amazon having it for $108-$116 and even SCG is $140, and when SCG makes something lower then you know the product isn't as good as WoTC thinks it is. Around $100 this product is definitely worth it.
Picked it up yesterday at my LGS for 20% off MSRP, $119.99... Very pleased with the quality of the set. Great printing on the cards, the oversized Planar Die was really nice, the spindowns look great. The deckboxes, those were the surprise of the set. They are extremely good quality, and they included one for the Planes as well. Well worth the money.
The planar die is oversized? Maybe I'll have to try to find one. It looks like a nice package, but I assume the planar card box won't fit sleeved cards. I have all the planes, so as much as I love Planechase I can't see getting it.

The planar die is 1" in diameter. You could carve a spin-down out of it. The deck boxes are each big enough to hold 60 fully sleeved cards comfortably. However, the planar card box is a perfect fit to the stack of cards in their plastic wrapping. Definitely going to have to find something to store them in after I get some sleeves. My guess is that the planar card box would have been too thick to fit in the larger box if they allowed room for sleeves. It looks like the exact same size box that the Duel Deck Anthology is in.
So, what about the tokens? I've been wondering about when we might see some of those planechase/archenemy exclusive tokens in print
Then you are in luck! This product does have, for example, the Eldrazi tokens for when you role "chaos" on Hedron Fields of Agadeem and such with the other planes. More than enough goats for Goldmeadow. Although the goat tokens from commander 2014 are better to use in my opinion.
I was talking the 7/7 eldrazi, the 3/3 elemental, and the 4/6 golem.
The last 2 are from archenemy.
Yes, it has the 7/7 Eldrazi Token with annihilator 1 for Hedron Fields of Agadeem, as I mentioned in my last post. Since the Golem and and the Elemental are from Archenemy, tokens have not been made for that product. Any and all tokens that are produced by the plane cards themselves however, have been included, and multiples of too.

If I have this correct the new tokens from this are 3/3 green boar from Brindle Shoat and then from planes/phenomenon we have 7/7 colorless eldrazi from Hedron Fields of Agadeem. Don't think there are any new ones after that.

I did forget to mention that but yes. Any and all cards/planes that produce tokens have said tokens with this product.

Thanks for the heads up! However be warned that they charge a minimum 15 for shipping. Found several on eBay for 105-110 shipped
