Hobbit Collector Boxes Are $450 — If You Can Buy One

Best Buy lists the Hobbit Collector Booster box at $449.99, but its current pages do not show reliably purchasable inventory. TCGplayer is still near $877 and CardTrader has no stable Market Price, so the huge displayed spread is really an availability problem before it is a price gap.
