[QUOTE="Clint_L, post: 9185868, member: 7035894"] Hmmm...it seems pretty distinct and well thought out rather than being a "rehash", and if you don't think the PDFs are worth it (which still seems like a steal), you could go to $79 and get them in hardcover as well. And it's not just source books, it's also adventure and setting books. It's hard to see that as anything but a great deal. Or go to $99 and get a bunch of miniatures, as well.
