January 2010 Releases: Underdark, PH Heroes: Dragonborn, Galaxy of Intrigue

I would say that this is not a book but a new set of miniatures. The pricing is the same as the current crop of mini's as is the naming convention.

Similar, but not the same. This year's releases are:

Players Handbook Heroes: Series 1 - Arcane Heroes 1
Players Handbook Heroes: Series 1 - Arcane Heroes 2
Players Handbook Heroes: Series 1 - Divine Heroes 1
Players Handbook Heroes: Series 1 - Martial Heroes 1
Players Handbook Heroes: Series 1 - Martial Heroes 2
Players Handbook Heroes: Series 1 - Primal Heroes 1

Players Handbook Heroes: Series 2 - Arcane Heroes 3
Players Handbook Heroes: Series 2 - Divine Heroes 2
Players Handbook Heroes: Series 2 - Divine Heroes 3
Players Handbook Heroes: Series 2 - Martial Heroes 3
Players Handbook Heroes: Series 2 - Martial Heroes 4
Players Handbook Heroes: Series 2 - Primal Heroes 2

Also, the MSRP's are different ($9.95 for Dragonborn and $10.99 for PHB Heroes). Packaging minis according to race would be a brand new idea, and I doubt very much that such is the case.

White Plume Mountain, published twenty-eight years ago, was fourteen pages long and sold for $6.00.

I simply don't see charging $10 for a thirty-two page book being controversial in 2009.
