In all fairness, Messina DID hint that something like this was coming.
I can't remember what thread it was in, but when the Field of Freeze sets first dropped, and someone asked about the FoF point exchange set for old promo masters, he said something the long the lines of: "These cards could come in handy sooner rather than laters". I think he could have been referring to this promo.
So while we were all complaining about the UF promo, it did, along with FoF and the NFL 100 sets, effectively give us opportunity to acquire tons of these cards in preparation of this promo. I'm sure this helped a lot of people get a head start on this promo.
For those that chose the FO points route for all those cards that wouldnt sell due to price floors, I do believe we were at least given a slight heads up on this one. That's not always the case as we all know.
