This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

A deluxe edition that's too deluxe?

Quote from: kanePL;1090107I've spent 1200$ on a graphics card. Many people would've called it dumb, aaaand probably they'd be right :D I guess they've researched the market beforehand. Lots of nerds from 90's are probably rich fellas now, they'd buy it out of nostalgia.
I've seen this before with other collectibles, such as GIjOE from the 60s. About 30-35 years after something gets popular, nostalgia is in full force and collectible stuff goes for very high prices. A couple years later and the market completely tanks.

Regular editions are going to be ~$75 for each piece of the campaign plus it's companion supplement. So that's $375 total. Double that for the collectors' edition doesn't actually seem to be that unreasonable. Also, it looks like they have preorders of just the first part at $150. I think it's just the sticker shock of seeing the preorder price for the entire set all at once. It's not clear that one gets anything meaningful instead of just preordering each part as it comes up over the years.

I mean, I'm not buying it, but that's because I think WFRP4 simply isn't that good. I have enough WFRP1/2 to last forever.
