65 euros for the rulebook? wtf, I sure hope this is a compilation of the four sourcebooks with the new hobbit stuff added... but thats wishful thinking I guess.

Hmm, limited edition set, the case and maybe some orcs?

Thinks-thinks-plots.

I'm excited about the limited edition set - though it will probably be $200 in Australia. I'll still buy it. I'll wait on the other stuff though until cheaper versions make their way to Ebay.

I need a case also, but the foam probably is specifically cut for the models from that set just like the Dark Vengeance set and GW doesn't sell generic foam inserts to fit that case... does anyone know where I can get inserts that I can cut to size myself?

Or am I getting ahead of myself?

That's pretty much in line with the Warhammer & Warhammer 40,000 rulebooks. If they're the same quality then it's well worth it.

"Escape from Goblin Town" will be the new core box game then- rulebook, dice, measures and models. Will end up in the £50 - £66 bracket like the current box games I'd imagine.
I'll be getting it for sure- worth it value wise on getting the new rule set. Will be interesting to see the changes.

Interesting - 18 models in a box - perhaps there are going to be some slight adjustments to warband sizes? Maybe they'll make goblins a little more hoard-like again, but not to the extent before warbands.

GreenDragon mate prepare for incoming orders.

Btw this prices are absurd. 65 Euros for 3 figures....

SouthernDunedain · **Posted:** Mon Nov 19, 2012 10:49 pm

I recommend Figures in Comfort. I was very satisfied with them when I got my canvas figure case. They have a selection of standard foam trays here.

65 Euros~ $75 for 3 trolls? Yes please! It's 33 for 1 now, so 75 for 3 is a "deal" (comparatively of course).

Keep in mind that this box is 3 Trolls. Monsters and other large monsters are always more expensive. In GBP, thats ~ £52. £17 each. The Mordor/Isengard Troll kit is £25 for one troll. I know I have a well deserved reputation for whinging about prices :oops:

but even I have to admit that £17 each is a good price.

However, the M/I Troll kit is more versatile with lots of options. These trolls are actual characters so there'll be less in the kit. They will probably not be poseable either.

Well, after getting a DMCA takedown notice, I put in a counter notification and got the content restored. Now, if people ask nicely first instead of threatening, a different course of action would have been taken. So here is the plastic radagast, from some company somewhere but no one really knows who.

Lorindol · **Posted:** Tue Nov 20, 2012 8:13 am

It's pretty funny that everyone is very excited about a vid that show actually really NOTHING! It just gives us the confirmation that we've been hoping for the last few days.
