In all seriousness, this happens. I've been collecting Magic: The Gathering cards for years and we see this all the time there. Cards get re-releases all the time that decrease the value of cards already in print. This -the Tythonian versus the Volatile Derelict - is more like a functional reprint: the effect is the same, but the name and the hilt and the rarity are different. That is not a bad thing. The reason why the Tythonian was so expensive in the first place was because it was very rare. And you know, it still is.

Another example. I expected the Satele and Malgus statues to plummett in value after the release of ROTHC because every player would have a portable trainer now, right? Instead, the price went up because new players see the Hutt statues and want one too, but it was a one time thing and it actually increased demand for the other two. The fact that the packs they were from are now embargoed also helped of course. Point being, if I were you I would value my Tythonian MORE now that the Volatile is released. Certainly not less.

I wouldnt consider it trolling.. just the cold hard truth, if you're looking to be "unique" i suggest messing with dyes IMO.. thats as far as you're going to get.. all cartel items hit the market fast.

Honestly dude...whilst some posters may be sarcastic, some ultra logical and some just a bit blunt, they are all decent community members

The only person who has been trolling you *abandoned the thread* earlier on...if that person hadn't hijacked your thread for their own agenda back on page 1 things would have been a lot smoother

Finally A response worth reading, i think the other people have completely missed the point.

Yes i suppose your right mate, still deep down you can't help feeling a little grim, but nevermind, I remember years ago when I use to collect and play magic the gathering, Black Lotus and Mox gems where the ones to get in beta hehe, good old days.

He was not referring to you for abandoning the thread, he meant someone else with that

you say a decent community? it took 5 minutes to get like 10 non supportive comments verging on insults, I think me and you have different ideas on a good community.

Sorry, I don't understand?

What have you changed your mind about? I was simply pointing out that most of the responses you received were good natured enough, even if they sounded harsh and that there was only one person really trolling you...

He thought you were calling him a hypocrite for him abandoning his own thread and then coming back. You didn't mean him with that statement though. It was a misunderstanding.
