It's official, the first four duel decks and they will be sold at an MSRP of $99.99. I for one, will not be buying....
Question is: Will they have the expansion symbol of the DD they were printed in, or a new expansion symbol?

New, I am 90% sure.
Not worth $100 by a long shot
I concur. $100 is a bit steep. But hey, new frame on the most coherent {Counterspell} art, {Demonic Tutor} and {Sword to Plowshares} with the best art and new frame.

Swords was in a different DD.
About all I would want is {ancestral vision}

{Ancestral Vision} for $100. Seems legit.
Currently, the value of the cards is more than the MSRP, but the prices will drop because of this. Basically this is only worth it as a collector's thing that you keep sealed or if you just absolutely love playing with Duel Decks.

I'll sell you an {Ancestral Vision} for $100.
I was excited when I first know about it...
I'm going to buy this anyway. I'm going to use it as an excuse to meet up with an old friend.
I'll probably buy one for collecting purposes. I've hit.that point in my magic career where I have all the cards I need (minus some foils) and am taking up an interest in collecting sealed product.
Should I trade/sell away my {demonic tutor} now? :c
I'm splitting it with some friends for a big game of DDs, but money wise it seems meh
My response to this is take my money
Herp derp {{taysby}}

Different set symbol, border and font, I don't see it making the old one worth much less, look at {Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth}.
Humm to sell or not to sell my old sets.
but I'm broke... Eh, I can just go hungry a few more days.
When does this start selling?
December 5th. It's on the link.
I good idea is buying a clash pack for $22 on amazon and combining the decks to make a decent simic deck. Lots of the cards have great value
Do you guys think this will sell for msrp? Or more?
Depends on the LGS. The one closest to me has said he won't be marking anything up. He will break open a few to sell them as singles but he won't mark anything up. He's said that he never will mark anything up. That's why he always gets my business whether I can find something a little cheaper elsewhere or not.

Honestly, this will be a hard sell at $100, marking it up, I doubt it will sell. Its not /really/ a collector's item, they want the originals, the singles likely will cost just barely the MSRP after the dust settles, and while it is a casual product, many casual players wont shell out $100. This is like a recipe for a product to never be attempted again.
I Preordered mine for MSRP on Friday. It will probably tank pretty hard because of the cost. But you may be able to get some friends to plunk down $12.50 a piece and have a weekend of fun, then throw the stuff in a cube.

That isnt a bad idea...the only thing is you get 8 60 card decks, subtract the basics and you have like 320 cards. Its a bit light, and unbalanced but you could use the remaining 40 to try and fix that.
I intended to go in on this with my playgroup. I wish a bunch of the cards.

You can take out some of the doubles too. It would take some work - like adding white, blue and artifacts. You're basically getting a pretty decent cube with built on synergies and archetypes. It's probably the closest they'll get to printing a cube. Just chuck some lands dual lands and you're golden.
Elves {G} vs. Goblins {R}
Jace {U} vs. Chandra {R}
Divine {W} vs. Demonic {B}
Garruk {G} vs. Liliana {B}
You can get Elspeth {W} vs. Tezzeret {U} to balance everything out :)
