May be the first set I'm online to potentially grab and passing on. The artwork hasn't driven high demand like usual on eBay and as others have pointed out the short and long term playability of these walkers is less than the past. Will pass for now - although I'm happy to see the box is smaller than the giant Garruk box of 2014...
Wow. That's a fall from grace. Last year they were gone really fast. 2 years ago it was like 10 minutes. The year I finally get someone to pick a set up from me at SDCC so I don't need to worry, there is no demand.
It's a shame, because they are really cool, and the poster is amazing.
For those saying the price is gouging, the regular foils for these add up to $179 on StarCityGames right now so this isn't crazy at all. It's not even really a markup. If they'd gone any less it'd go as far as to undercut the already existing market.
Whether or not you'd want them for the art is a whole other story though, and while I don't think it's that bad I don't think it's better than the originals.
(also sorry if this is a bit of a necro, came across these just now and saw this thread with nobody pointing out it's not a bad price after all)

Even if you recognize this is a thread necro, is it really that compelling and current of a subject that you HAD to comment on this 3+ months later? Kinda weird dude.

There price is actually really horrible.
The most expensive one, Chandra costs over 100e while the regular non foil is 30e. The worst part is that she is nowhere near worth 100e. Last month there was a total of 4 sales. Her price is purely driven by scarcity. Nobody is buying these cards.

Jace is almost a bulk rare a this point.
