I'll most surely buy one, perhaps more than one (the main problemi being that the Italian WotC distributor for RPGs and boardgames and miniatures games and...) will no more carry de luxe reprints  :x

I'll get one about this time next year , the way things go with these things I expect to pay about $100.

I personally think these reprints are a no-brainer for wotc, what ever your opinion of them as a company this a steady, and reasonably effortless, income stream.

And it's only $8 to ship to the UK, bizarrely. Although delivery is anytime from release date til Jan 8th.

Might just keep waiting til/or if it's available on the UK Amazon

Hey everyone,

Just out of curiosity is anyone going to buy the hardcover compilation reprints that they are releasing for A1-4 and S1-4?

Saw them on Amazon now for US$32.97 and US$25.64.

Best regards,
Ronald

I'll pick them up sooner or later. No hurry though as I doubt these will be rare! Probably wait until they filter through on to eBay.


You can never have too much of something you didn't need in the first place.
