So they either already have the book (which means they have all the cards and don't need these), or they're going off the SRD, or they're an assumed buyer of the stand-alone book that will be released soon. And that player will be locked in to that class unless they buy a new class pack. At which point they'll have a pile of duplicate cards. Then there's the question of multiclassing, which lets you dip some cards. So will you have to buy a whole new pack just for that one or two cards? The core set has the book and all the cards for $60. When they do a stand-alone book release, it's a safe bet it's not going to be $40. It'll be $50 at least. I doubt they'll be selling the card packs for less than say $15 each. So one book and one card pack will set you back $65+. For $5 less you get all the cards. Or they sell the packs for $10, okay so one book and one pack costs the same as the book and all the cards. So unless they stop selling the core set, these card packs will not sell. But, if they stop selling the core set, fans will freak out about the money grab. It's a weird product that makes no sense to me.</blockquote>
