I agree with HypnoCT as well. All those factors brought-up with the OP are true to the mark, but as Hypno says, it's all proportional and relative to each other.

I have a family with kids as well and work full-time. But I am a great fan of the G1 Transformers - I remembered been excited as a kid over 20 odd years ago when waiting for each of the Transormers episode to air on TV, and then re-watching them on videos every so often - VCR's in those old days :)

So I don't mind splurging $10-$20 a week to have a chance of obtaining a few extra 'cards' with cool graphics to add to my collection.

Having said that, with the introductions of r5s, and increase costs in getting your hands on episode cards, MOBAGE is really on a trend snubbing the average game-player - ie those that can't afford (or not willing) to spend excessive amounts of money, or have hrs and hrs of free time everyday to grind. The gap between hardcore players and the average players have widened considerably ZZZZZZZZZZZZ...
