I mean....what is the best way to get into this game? I've purchased 1 of each starter and then a booster box. I got some really great pulls (i could put together awakening only qgj/rey or han/rey easily) but I'm the kind of guy that wants to have all the toys and options. I'm interested right off in finishing qgj/rey (if thats still good) and maybe start getting some SoR stuff to put together a more competitive deck. What is the best way to go about getting everything outside of ebay(and without handing team covenant a ton of money).

As someone who is just over 1 month into the game and who wants to play as many characters as possible, your best option is the booster box to guarantee legendary cards and then to supplement with individual card purchases at any online shop (shop them all as prices are surprisingly different across the board).

I've ordered from just about all of them. I've sold boardgames/RPGs from my collection to finance Destiny and it is possible to amass a large collection quickly, but it's the Legendary cards that are so hard to get - which is why (for the money and especially starting out with no cards), booster boxes are your best bet. At some point, you will have to decide - pay for a blind booster pack (hoping to pull a legendary) or pay for an individual Legendary at a ridiculous price.

Welcome me to the CCG madness. The Force isn't accepted at the register. Good luck!

Well....QGJ/Rey is good BECAUSE of SoR stuff...so if you really wanna finish that deck you need more SoR cards than Awa cards.

I have a full playset of both Awakenings and SoR.

My tactic is to buy 3x booster boxes at launch.

This gives me all commons, uncommons, 99% of rares and 18 Legendary, with a number of excess rares.

That leaves roughly 14 legendary to finish things off.

I then sell my excess rares for cash and use the cash to buy more boosters.

This is a win - win as I either pull a legend or a rare.

I then keep selling the excess rares and legends and buy boosters until I only need a few legends.

I then just buy those for cash.

In Awakenings I was a bit slow, but in SoR I finished my playset in 3 days after release.

There isn't much of a scene here as our FLGS hasn't been running events but if I build it they will come. Our SC got 20 or so people so they are out there. Selling rares...like to a website? I used to do a fair bit of that during my stint in the original run of Vs system. So three boxes? Each. Gonna be hard with awakening.
