B&G didn't write the adventure. This 'bling' has no effect on the adventure. It's all made after the fact, under license.

It's an after-market add-on by a third party. Like buying a fancy new car seat cover. That doesn't make your car less about driving.
Hold on a second. Are you saying I DON'T have to buy the ultra premium special edition, and can just buy the adventure as per normal?

I am shocked.

I might be just jaded (and really used to the bs that companies pull literaly every single day), but I really don't buy that explanation.
It's like saying buying an aftermarket fancy golf bag undermines your golf game. Beadle & Grimm is not owned by WotC but by Scream/Scooby-Doo/Five Nights at Fredies actor Matthew Lillard.

All Beadle & Grimm did was make a complete set of "bling" as compared to the hodge-podge of stuff we would pull off our shelf at home to do the same thing. Does that random collection of bits and bobs in our closet (and screen caps we pull off the internet) erode our imagination any more or any less?

As far as gamer bling, we all have it to some degree -- anyone who has more than one dice set can attest to that. How many GMs have extra maps beyond one erasable grid map? I avoid using minis as I don't have time to paint (and how much bling is in that?) so I collect cardboard tokens, and now that's blow out into a whole side industry.

Anyone who owns more than once dice set and one gridded map maybe missing some irony.
 

I agree that $500 is nuts for a bunch of bling like this, but that's what people want these days. While I'd never spend serious money on unnecessary extras like this, I accept I'm probably in the minority.
I’m pretty sure you are not a minority - this is a limited edition after all. But there is a sizeable minority of serious collectors who will pay silly money for this kind of thing, and were there is a demand the market supplies. A friend of mine payed a large amount of money for a copy of Final Fantasy with a statue of Serephoth. Not what I would spend my money on, but then, I’m boringly sensible.

One might say that having a luxury market segment for our hobby is a good sign. I'm on the fence about that.

For me, I have always said that our culture would never take ttrpgs seriously until there was money to be made, like golf, video games, and the NFL.
