Coming late to the party, I havent felt compelled to spend anything yet. I've been having fun, earning some new cards, checking out the old ones - I'm here for the artwork, it really isn't a fun game. Would love to earn some of those higher level cards, but given my Cyberdex is 80% empty as it is, I dont have the same compulsion as someone thats been here from the beginning and picked up a vast number of cards.

Its sad to hear the tales of people forking out cash and falling victim to the random number generator, would certainly be better if there was some kind of trade/upgrade system like SSG1 has said - trading 2 alternates for the flip side. I like how the Evolve cards work in that respect. That way you're still keeping your good customers around, and might give a spark of hope to non-spenders that they'll have a chance to get the cards they want... I'm too much of a pessimist, or maybe I'm just unlucky.

If I score some cards at the end of the event, I'll be happy - I've managed a MTM Tracks and MTM Red Alert so far, my deck is slowly getting worthwhile.
