My dndbeyond link has the spelljammer at 33.99, up from the usual 25.99. What price point are other seeing on the site as that’s not 80% increase in my case.

the fantasy ground version is 49 and says it’s for all the books, theDndbeyond says 49.99 initial so I’m hoping all items are included.

That's with the 20% off sale price going on right now.

More like eating Top Ramen to afford all that.

I mean at the very least you don’t have to pay for the streaming show outside of your extant internet so maybe you can upgrade to one of the fancy $1 ramen bowls for that.

So “you’ve said that. A lot. Crazy emoji” was meant to be something supportive? Weird way to go about it. And you realize those expensive dragon minis aren’t being bought by anyone but completionist collectors or DMs who specifically need them for a scenario right? Your hypothetical Sally and Billy aren’t buying a $300 Tiamat in any world.

This is a very fascinating hypothetical world you live in where literally everyone is dying of FOMO.

No it was meant to be “silly face” but your mileage may vary. Don’t take it so seriously. It’s an Internet forum.

I will note you aren’t addressing the collecting culture promoted by the hobby and WOTC these days. I also didn’t say Sally & Billy were buying $400 dragons, it’s not just Tiamat. The price of Wizkids minis are escalating rapidly. Frameworks are pricier than GW for less product.

Looks like it’s that and my tier purchases get a little extra off as well. Still for my case, 33.95 for it and the other like radiant citadel are only 24.99 with the same discounts applied. Worth it in my book.

I’ll wait for it to show on the Amazon buy two get one if it’s about $50 or less after my discount etc.

I’ve had “it’s just the internet calm down lol” people dox and threaten my loved ones before so you’ll forgive me if that argument holds less than zero water for me these days. But so noted that that wasn’t your intent. I’ll take you at face value there.

And I mean, that’s any and every geek-facing hobby these days. I’m more shocked that you’re acting like it’s a new thing. Again, nobody forces anyone to buy any of this. I don’t buy EVERYTHING Wizards drops for this, even if I do buy a lot of it. I guess I’m not seeing what you’re pushing at here.

If I buy a bundle, is that cheaper than buying all the books individually? Any idea how much cheaper?
