New D&D Red Box pictured in the wild

Wizards of the Coast GTS 2010 Seminar | LivingDice.com

Near the bottom there is an actual picture of the box with the classic art on it.

Still, it could be just a mockup yet, but I somehow doubt they'd show that at Gamma.

anyway I like the aggressive support of hobby stores.

Here is the actual picture.

And yea, technically it isn't 'in the wild'.

Orcus is at the bottom.

I hope that they use different artwork, so as not to confuse products.

I hope they don't.

But then again, I'm a HUGE Elmore fan.

I hope they use the box pictured. Note though that the specific art and even the style are for a limited run. I think a BIG limited run, but I remember reading that the intent was to change the art eventually to match the rest of the essentials line, I think.

If it sold in that art style, I'll buy it, though honestly I'd be buying it for the box alone. If they change the art, I can't say that much of anything in the essentials line really appeals to me.

Yeah me too!. This art brings me back to my very first D&D product. I love this picture so much I ordered some lithographs (IIRC) of this set, the Expert Set and the Companion Set from Larry Elmore's website. They are framed, and on the wall leading down into the basement! Nothing, and I mean nothing, says D&D to me moreso than this single piece of artwork!

I've got the same artwork hanging in my gaming room. Found an old puzzle of that print for ~20 bucks on ebay. Of course what I really want is the pinball machine, which also has the art.

Exactly which products would they be confusing it with?
