I'm excited, even though my wallet hasn't recovered from the Rise of Angmar drop. Still, too many releases is a nice problem to have!

On Reddit, there was a post claiming the base set price was $220. No idea how accurate that might be, but seems plausible.

Remember when starter sets were 60€? Pepperidge farm remembers.

Prices are out, starter set is expensive but considering how expensive each individual element is.. I guess it's to be expected (at least in € it's a bit less than what you would have to pay for Manual + 2 warrior boxes + 2 on foot and mounted plastic hero sets).

Resin kits are as expensive as usual, hope you don't need to eat for the next few months.

Dunno if you've seen the two articles on the changes.
Changes in rules: https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/2ifuwrwc/middle-earthtm-strategy-battle-game-key-changes-in-the-new-edition/
As far as these go.. I actually like them :) , especially the "you win priority, you get to choose who goes first". They do screw over people who have done conversions though :( .

Changes in army building:https://www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articles/m9f0rghw/middle-earthtm-strategy-battle-game-army-building-in-the-new-edition/
It's focused on the movies, which are not exactly lore accurate in terms of the forces/people that fought together. The old system allowed you to mix and match to get lists for either the movies or the books according to your preference.
They "scoured the movies", not the books. I am honestly debating getting the new books for the profiles, but this new army building approach feels like a middle finger to book fans :roll: .
I liked it when you could have both ways :(.
