$175 already sounded expensive, but on the website I see $225 (USD)! Sheesh…

Ah, it’s £175. My bad!

Peoples of the world unite in contemplating how expensive this thing is

Even the standard edition was more expensive than I was willing to pay when it was available for pre-order on Amazon. It was over $60. They used to offer a discount if you ordered before it released, but for some reason in the last year or two this hasnt seemed to be the case for WotC books. It's now $47 before tax, but since reading the reviews there doesn't seem to be much difference from VRGtR so I decided not to buy it.

Strahd's Silver Edition

Didn't they remove the need to use silver weapons to damage lycanthropes in 5.5 ?

Seems like that was the only reason to buy silvered objects so why do they think we are going to pay extra now?

I now have images of PCs bludgeoning the undead to death with their Beadle & Grimm box sets!

The only thing still vulnerable to silver improvised weapons is your wallet

Mine came and it’s a nice box set. I balked at their first boxed set at 400 or whatever it was a couple years ago but I’ve picked up a a few now., both sliver and the higher ones.

Do they release more deluxe versions later - eg. Gold, Platinum, Legendary Editions? Or it's an unknown? What have they done in the past?
