16-17 SPA Configuration Changes

[atruong317]

If its lower price then last years i dont really see a problem.

it's lower per box, but the math for a case is higher than last year's pre-order price.

The hit count is about the same for this new case configuration compared to last year's case configuration after making some assumptions.

16-17 SPA - Guaranteed 2 Autos a box X 16 boxes = 32 guaranteed autos + a chance to get 3 autos in some boxes.
15-16 SPA - Guaranteed 3 Autos a box x 12 boxes = 36 guaranteed autos
14-15 SPA - Guaranteed 3 Autos a box x 12 boxes = 36 guaranteed autos AND the update Auto normally didn't count as one of the 3 hits.

Current case base pricing (CDN) from clountsnchara

16-17 - $1959.99
15-16 - $1979.99
14-15 - $1509.99

The pre-order pricing for 15-16 was lower than the current price, but I don't have any record of what the price was back then. I believe it was in the $1600-1700 range but I could be quite off on that.

I was thinking most boxes will still have 3 Autos and only a few per case will have the spectrum hit. I may have read that wrong though.

Even so the case price might still be the same and you will still get 36 Autos if 4 out of 16 boxes has 3 autos. Individual box prices should drop correct?

I don't see much of an issue here if a majority of the boxes still contain 3 autos and the price drops. However if the price drop is small and we are looking at a majority of boxes containing 2 autos then yeah I have a serious issue with this.

If Im not correct I believe the box price started at 139.99 and case price was at 134.99 a box

and it appears that no cases are available for pre-order from all of the big Canadian LCS online. So I guess UD knows what they're doing with their config changes!

So if you're a SPA fan, go visit your local LCS and see if you can pre-order a case.
