[QUOTE="Scorpio616, post: 6318819, member: 6750953"] Well, don't forget the price has to include enough profit for GF9 to justify the licencing costs from WOTC. So their retail price has another middleman involved besides the price bump for the "Wear a respirator when trimming" resin. And when you get right down to it, GF9 are targeting folks who find the D&D brand and the words " Limited Edition" a selling point in and of themselves.
