Of course LGS are not forced to sell this product if doesn't fit their business model.Last time I played LFR it ran for 3-4 hours. I believe the D&D Encounters are designed for an hours worth of play, once a week, for 12 weeks. These events are free (*) at the cost of the LGS's time and available space. Maybe this is WotC way of trying to give back to the LGS for their cooperation while the customer has something tangible from the event. Sounds like a win - win - win for everyone (WotC - LGS - customer).I've no issue in paying $4 for an hour (or more) worth of entertainment; hell I even get to keep 8 playable cards to give away or trade as I please. The last time I went to a movie or a concert it cost me $8-$25 and all I got was a paper ticket for my scrapbook.The real questions: will I purchase this product for a home game? Most likely not since the DM, other players and myself create our fun using the <insert your favorite RPG here> system..Do I believe 8 cards (Fortune Cards, Gamma World) vs 16 cards (MtG) per pack for the same price feels odds; yes I do...Just because it cost you $4 (plus tax) doesn't mean WotC makes $4 per pack; doesn't mean the LGS pockets $4 per pack....* A LGS where I played LFR last, charged me $2 for the game. This money went to the DM in the form of a store gift certificate. The LGS was upfront and I had no issue of this practice..</blockquote>
