Alliance distributors just entered this in their catalog today:

Quote:
QNG 60529; Fresco: The Scrolls Expansion; $24.95


Yikes! I hope it is more than just this expansion for that much.

Good lord. No kidding. I am hesitant to pay the $15 + S&H cost from the online place that sells it, let alone this price point.

I do hope it hits retail, I just don't think I can rationalize that cost.

$24.95?!? Ouch. And the UK price will probably be even worse.

Suddenly I don't feel so bad about buying a copy at Essen for €8, partly through pity at their lack of saleable product, but mainly to get hold of one of those lovely Queen cloth bags.

That's ridiculous, it's just a few cards that highlight certain rows and columns of the fresco.

Queen Games is trying to get as much money as possible by selling way overpriced expansions lately. Avoid buying at this price and you will get it half price next year...

I hope you're right since I cannot justify the $40 for the Glaziers expansion either.

I love spending money making my games fresh with expansions, *cough*ArkhamHorror*cough* but even I have my limits.

I see that ThoughtHammer has it for pre-order at 35% off, but that's still a rather steep buy.

Perhaps I may just have to skip both expansions all together...

I saw it at my FLGS two days ago. Indeed it was $25. Indeed there is very little in the box.

Wow. They actually bothered to put it into a box? Not only is the price outrageously high, but that's an amazing waste of cellulose resources just for 10 tiles.

I will definitely take this off the want list.

I bought the scrolls and it just came in a plastic bag as a folded A4 ruleset and some tiles!

That was how it was sold at Essen last year. They've now boxed it up, pumped up the price tag, and are shipping it all over the world looking for customers.

Flight of the seabirds, scattered like lost words, wheel to the storm and fly. Fare thee well now, let your life proceed by it's own design. Nothing to tell now, let the words be yours, I'm done with mine.

To seek the sacred river Alph, to walk the caves of ice, to break my fast on honey dew and drink the milk of paradise... I had heard the whispered tales of immortality, the deepest mystery from an ancient book I took a clue.

16.22 seems like 15 too much for what you're getting here. At least $10 too much, if I were to be generous.

This should be brought to the Geek Store as a $5 Promo item.
