Ohhhh, is this why collector booster boxes have been like twice the price for this release? That hadn't clicked for me, I thought it was just licensing fees to tolkien's estate or something.

@rubythulhu @TheOneCurly
Probably both. Finance person I follow expects about 20% of CB price is Ring speculation.
The rest is probably the licensing fee passed directly to customers

Most of the price difference was that it's a premium product, the products you couldn't open a ring in are also more expensive

Not your fault. Just wsj being dumb.
