Hi All,
Here are some answers to questions posted previously in the discussion!
1) The 100 random tokens include both new and old tokens alike. Emphasis is on variety, there will be very few duplicates within a 100 token lot, if any. Range of the tokens is starting with the very first token included in a boosters, 10th edition to present.
2) Planeswalker emblems are possible and are included randomly, but not in every lot.
3) The dice and sleeves are all brand new, all the same color respectively, and can be used for these tokens or another use of your choosing.
I presume the 100 "randomly colored" card protectors are actually 100 protectors of the same random color, right? Not sure what I'd do with a stack of protectors that can't be used in a deck.
Most tokens are <$0.10. There are a small number worth a good amount of money, but I think it's safe to completely discount the possibility of receiving one of those.

Total for drop: $27 ($22.99+$3.50, rounding up)
Assuming the dice are worth $7 ...

... and the sleeves are worth $5 ...

... that leaves us with $15 for the tokens. Given 100 tokens, you would need to get an average token value of $0.15 to make this drop worth it (versus buying everything individually).
Token price breakpoints (53 pages total asof 09/10/2016):
* $0.10 around page 15
* $0.15 around page 20
* $0.20 around page 30
* $0.25 around page 35
Seems like a gamble to me, but not a ridiculous one. Not much benefit to buying through Massdrop though, I'd expect it would be hard to beat the price; that's the point of the site, right? If the drop price reaches $18.99, the average token minimum drops to $0.11, which is a lot easier to hit.
mortilusit gets a lot worse in CA where sales tax brings this up to $28.50.... and tokens are so worthless that i can't even sell them to any LGS nearby in bulk... (they won't buy bulk common/uncommon boxes that have tokens in them) i probably have 1500 random tokens sitting around
