I wish we could just order these tournament kits as customers for $$
Well that would kind of ruin the point.
That's also part of the reason they changed their distribution rules. With the Winter kit, a single seller on eBay would have twenty or twenty-five of the single copy item for sale, meaning they were somehow able to purchase twenty-plus tournament kits. Heck, I had a friend of mine with an old e-figures account order me a winter kit just so I could get the stuff, since no one near me was running a tournament I could attend. It made them significantly less unique to have them so readily available.
The downside is, now, people who don't live near an LGS that runs tourneys/leagues will have to pay out the nose for the goodies.
