How "limited" are these?

In following the release of these over at MTG Salvation is seems like, at least in the US, anybody that ordered them received a good amount of them. The local store got close to 20 of them in and they're small potatoes in the grand scheme of things. I've read of stores jacking the prices way up (between $60-$100 instead of MSRP $35) and limiting purchases to one per person but overall I get the feeling they a lot more prevalent than FTV: Dragons from a year ago.



I heard that they were more rare than the FTV dragons, but as you noted there doesn't seem to be much of a supply issue.

AVOID MTG Fanatic! They remand orders and re-list the cards for more money.

Basically every store I went to sold out day 1 and couldnt get any extra at all so most their stock didnt ever fill all preorders.  also on amazon.com has one store aelling them at 180$ and the lowest they sell on ebay is 80-85$.  I checked and they all sell on ebay probably averaging 100$ as I have seen them sell for up to 120.  all the local stores for me couldnt even get me any so meh.  I have 4 unlimited bersrks anyways and the rest is cool versions of classics but nothing huge.   Someone mentioned earlier in the thread if this could be a precursor to wizards running more vintage/legacy events and leading to the reprinting of power which for me would be amazing since I am contemplating buying them a piece at a time for the cost of new car.. granted many vintage players would be hurt because of the money they already invested but then they could make much more if wizards supported the format with major events mainly a couple GP's and a PT.  I believe that a major PT should be held for every format at least once a year including a block and a draft/sealed.
