The significant price increase is obviously the biggest issue. Perhaps ESP need to do a hobby and retail release of elite to cater for all budgets.
I would have thought the broader level of the 3 releases is enough. Power Play, Traders & then Elite. This caters for all budgets, with Elite more so catering for the higher end collectors a lot of whom may not care for P Play and Traders.
The price hike is relative to the quality of the series. Elite only needs to be twice as good as Traders, if it is, that to me value for money. You pay for quality its pure and simple.
The single pack price will also hopefully deter box searchers, a lot of whom were on this very forum last year crapping on that they had sucessfully searched boxes for WCHP or sigs.
Pretty solid for a parallel......with 10 days left

It's all relative to the size of the base set. The AFL has 18 teams, 12 cards per team. It's a 220 card Base Set compared to the NRL's 161. So they have to increase the amount of packets to complete a base set. The overall price of a box is the same. ESP could always expand it to 36 packs and give you a stack more commons and lower the price per pack so that it's still costing the same amount over a box of 36 packets. Would all those extra commons make it feel like you're getting a better deal now???
Why do we have bball cards in a 2015 Elite thread?
Did you maybe stop to think that maybe the people who are saying it is too expensive have family and other commitments before lashing out 1700 smackers on a release that sounds like a souped up Traders release ?Have saved up for a year to make a substantial investment in this release (as in previous years). My main aim is to complete as many of the insert sets or parallel sets as I can with the cards I get from my purchase (through trades).
What peeves me is all of the low ballers who have posted negative comments on this thread (won't be buying, too expensive) that will be asking me to sell to them at minimal prices.
Your choice to buy or not. Just don't expect others to feed your addiction at their loss.Did you maybe stop to think that maybe the people who are saying it is too expensive have family and other commitments before lashing out 1700 smackers on a release that sounds like a souped up Traders release ?
MojoIs the case hit the Jersey card or the Mojo pack......or both?
