I wouldn't say no to a limited edition pewter collector's set though...

the news release says plastic, though.

Yes, they are as with WoW, but FFG also made sets of bronze figures available too.

I'd be interested to see what the differences are in the board. I JUST purchased v4. I had actually gone to England in 1988 and a friend of mine purchased v2. We played that game for years. I'm not quite sure if I'll open v4 or just wait a little while. ARRGH!!! Why FFG?! Why!?

I was going through May Previews and saw the solicitation for Talisman. I have, but am rarely able to play, the third edition reprint from a few years ago. I remember playing with friends back in junior high and high school and having a really good time with it. It's long enough that you can get really invested in it, but simple enough that it doesn't take all night and is quick to learn.

Anyway, this new edition sounds pretty sharp, and I'd say there's a pretty good chance that I'll buy it. I suppose that I would have seen something here, but you guys are saying an October release for it, right? The May Previews is generally solicitations for July, and a couple of comic shop sites are listing a July 2 release for it.

So has anything new come out lately? Can we be seeing this new version that soon? Maybe some preview pictures???

This is really kewl news.I'll be eagerly waiting for them.

I have second ed and was about to get the new one till I saw this so I decided to wait a few months. My son is eight now and decided that this would be our boardgame of choice. We can't wait till it comes out.
