After sleeping on this, I can't really get behind this product.
The books are the main selling feature. Six half-sized 60-odd paged books. There's not that many more total pages than your average hardcover book, but with far cheaper binding costs. No fancy covers, gilded pages, etc.
The higher price is all the box, but that's not what's being sold. The description doesn't mention the box, or dice, or other features. Those could be subject to change.
But ignoring because you can envision the thought process. The booklettes themselves are hard to make fancy without changing their formatting. So the best way to make them a "premium" reprint is to make the box fancy.
One of the neat things of the premium reprints is giving people nice new copy of an old book they have nostalgia for, possibly with superior binding. Quite often the reprint is more expensive than a second-hand copy on Amazon or eBay.
But the same cannot be said for the original White Box. It's too expensive and rare to find used copies. This might bethe only time people will be able to see and hold those booklettes.
But they won't because it's freakin' expensive. I can't drop $200 for this, even as a lovely piece for my shelf. It's tempting but I'll have too many other expenses around that period.
It woud be nice to have two versions of this. Ones boxed in a plain yet solid cardboard box (like that of the Red Box). An affordable version for people who just want a copy. And then you have the super-deluxe version for people who want the extra fancy version.
