Tl;dr: they're switching from print to demand to limited print runs for Secret Lairs

I can't see how this is good. The few times I've gotten a Secret Lair I found their shipping pretty quick, and limited print runs only encourage scalpers to buy out and jack up the prices. But I feel like Wizards is fine with that as long as it creates more FOMO.

I agree about the limited print runs and scalpers. Plus I really don't like the urgency around having to buy them before they sell out, it's very frustrating as a consumer if it's something you're on the fence about.
