Which set is Harder to come by these days?
« on: December 09, 2008, 03:24:13 PM »
Which set is the rarest to find these days? Like is it harder to find Rise of Saruman Decks and Packs then Hunters? Howabout the Ages End set? Are those becoming rare?

Rise of Saruman hands down... finding boosters anywhere is very very hard. So far I can only find them in countries that wont sell international.

When they first came out, I picked up 4 Ages End for about $30 total. Now you would be lucky to pay that for one.

And I moved this to Bag End as it isnt really a rules question

Rise of Saruman is definitely the hardest to come by.  Then Hunters, then T&D.

Coruscant, obviously.

Er, wait. I think I'm in the wrong thread.

Yeah Mr Lurtzy, I don't think anyone is saying T&D is easier to get than Hunters.

Until recently T&D was fairly easy to get, but now its getting tough.  Gilgalad anyone?  please?  ](*,)

Coruscant is definitely tough, not sure about tougher than RoS though.

Have you ever heard of Rise of Saruman?

I got a complete Siege of Gondor foil set for $50... RoS will easily go for 4 times as much.

Pre-shadows, though, everything had to be foiled.

Lurtzy, so you got a steal. Ripped off the person selling it. Doesn't make it any less valuable. I've seen booster boxes going for $50, easily.

Boxes of what? I've seen everything from $9 boxes to $200 boxes.

I'm so proud of my three copies. :P

I think RoS is toughest. The last few times I looked for it, even the great Google yielded nothing. Except two stores that were sold out.

SoG is really expensive, but I've seen places you can buy it.

Like a couple months ago, there seemed to be plenty of Hunters boxes. But I think all of us TLHH guys bought 'em up.
Happy Hunting!

SoG is not as hard as people make it out.

Reflections... I have found a few boxes, but only for $40+

T&D, there is lots around but again, $100+

Hunters are hard, but starters abound.

Rise of Saruman is impossible. In a year I have found 7 starters and that is it!

Well how are people able to get packs/booster boxes from sets like Rise of Saruman, Treachery and Deceit, and Hunters?Are there any sites that sell them? Or is it all from eBay?

I search like a maniac and I haven't seen RoS boosters in a long time.  I bought up the last that I saw.  Although I've got to wonder where the heck the Ebay seller Ghhhk gets his supply of RoS.  Are you on here Ghhhk??  Hm which one of you could be Ghhhk?   :-k
