It seems like there's one more product coming this October, called the MTG Gift Pack. Its content will be:
5 premium basic lands by artist Mark Poole (known as the "Shooting Star Lands") - See the images attached to this post
2 premium creature cards (Metalwork Colossus and Kari Zev, Skyship Raider
3 booster packs (XLN, HOU, AKH)
Spindown life counter
Exclusive mini-poster (Featuring art from Hour of Devastation)
The foil lands look great and Kari zev is a cube staple so alternate (?) art for her and her token (?) would be cool. Might be worth it with the boosters thrown in
That is actually pretty cool. I like that Swamp and Forest and it would be nice to get them in Foil. However, for me, the biggest takeaway is that they are willing to print some non-foil basics in foil. Which means (I hope) that we will eventually see the Rebecca Guay basics from C16 in foil. I really want the Plains and Swamp of hers from C16 in foil. I would probably get all 5, but the Plains and Swamp are the ones I want the most.
Storage box? Or has that gone the way of the Gift Box? Those boxes were incredibly useful for cards I didn't want to stick in those large white cardboard boxes.
Also, seconded on getting foil Rebecca Guay C16 lands.

This feels like those overpriced Pokemon boxes. You get $12 worth of packs plus some fluff for $20. This is not a good deal. But I'm sure I'm not the target market...

Stay reasonable, be mindful of your expectations and don't feed the trolls.

You and me both. I see $20 for 3 booster packs. Sad when it makes the "Mystery Box" of 6 packs for $25 seem like a steal.

STOP using "dude/bro" as a pejorative or insult. Grow up.

Three boosters, a spindown counter, and seven foils, five of which you can't get in foil otherwise, and a poster. It's not a great deal, but it isn't bad either.

I get that they can't price them too low because people would just buy them at default instead of boosters, which would defeat the purpose, but try this thought experiment: Would you pay $8 for a spindown and the seven foils? You get spindowns thrown after you at any and every occation, and foil non full art basics usually don`t even make it into trade binders.

Depends on the foils actually. For those, then yes, I probably would. But then I am a commander player, lack the skypirate, and tend to put foil basics in my commander decks. I also hoard dice/spindown counters much like a dragon hoards gold, so... >.<

It's about time for the reserved list to die, for the sake of Vintage and Legacy (And Commander).
Making the basics "not" foil would be a complete waste.
They say "premium" basic lands, so they are most likely foil (anything else would be a huge issue).
----
Wonder if the Metalwork Colossus has a new art and if its foil and looks sweet, might even get one of these.
Much more interesting would be if they included 2 foil Rares "at random" with new artwork for each of them. That would be a HUGE drive to buy these products in bulks, if its just 2 you know of, it reduces the potential customers by a lot (and you really dont need to buy a lot of these, unless you want a ton of the basic lands).

They're not intended to be bought in bulk, but rather as gifts from non-mtg players to mtg players (although, I'd instruct my family and friends to instead invest in boosters as gifts, as that would give them more value for the money they'd spend). Still it is something for grandparents to give their grandkids.

Thats just what they label it, as a "gifts box".
But it hardly is, and especially with the basic lands, if you really like them and want a mana-base full of them, you need a lot of boxes to make that happen.
In the end, theres already the holiday gifts boxes, which pretty much did the trick already to have a big box with some boosters , it even had a promo, so its pretty much this, just with a big box (as they easily could have included the lands in the gifts box and call it done).

On the other hand, getting those five lands in foil would be something...
