[QUOTE="Azzy, post: 7940716, member: 6563"] You are correct. Let's take Ravnica for instance, for crunch there are 10 backgrounds, 2 subclasses, 45 magic items, 78 monsters, 5 races, and 1 spell. You can buy each component idividually at $1.99 per (like the minotaur race), or buy a collection of one type (all 5 races for $5.99). The more items there are in a collection (there are 78 monsters, for instance), the cheaper it is to buy the collection than it it to buy each item individually (the monster collection for this book is $10.99). Of course, if you want ALL the mechanics, it can come out as more expensive than just buying the full book depending on the amount of crunch/fluff ratio (for Ravnica, buy all the crunch would theoretically cost $37.94 as opposed to the $29.99 of the full cost of the book). The good thing, however, is that each component purchase is subtracted from the cost of the collection and from the full cost of the book, so you'd never actually pay more than the full cost (for instance, if you bought 1 monster for $1.99, the cost for buying the rest of the monster collection would be reduced $9.00, and if you purchased the full monster collection for $10.99, the cost to purchase the rest of the full book is $19.00). So, whether or not it's worth it to buy the components depends on how many components there are, how many you actually want, and what the combined price of the components costs in comparison to just buying the full book. With the Ravnica example, If you wanted all of the mechanical options you might as well buy the full book (because you'll unlock the full book before you finish buying the mechanical options piecemeal). However, if you just wanted the two subclasses, spending $3.99 isn't a big deal. [/QUOTE]
