Two "Black Fire Pass" products?

By Doublehex, in Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay

First post in the forum - hey guys!

So, to the topic at hand. I was browsing Amazon, seeing what would be a good first choice for supplements when I noticed that there are currently two products with the same, but with different covers and price tags.

First, the Black Fire Pass boxset: http://www.amazon.com/Blackfire-Pass-Warhammer-Fantasy-Roleplay/dp/1589948157/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1316465759&sr=8-1,'>http://www.amazon.com/Blackfire-Pass-Warhammer-Fantasy-Roleplay/dp/1589948157/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1316465759&sr=8-1, and then we've got some other "Blackfire Pass", which is due to be released on the 11th of October, is cheaper by a good $10, and has a totally different cover. http://www.amazon.com/Blackfire-Pass-Warhammer-Fantasy-Roleplay/dp/1589948157/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1316465759&sr=8-1

Now, I tried to find any mention of a new Blackfire Pass supplement, but there is no indication of it in the Upcoming portion of the site. So...just what the heck is this?

Despite the two different listings these are both the same product.

For real? Well then, I'll just put a "pre-order" for the cheaper one then! Thanks for the info. :D

Actually, the 2 links you've provided are exactly the same! But, doing a quick search, I think I came up with another offering $10 more:

http://www.amazon.com/Warhammer-Fantasy-Roleplay-Black-Fire/dp/B005EN0DUK/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1316509290&sr=1-2

The reason this is $10 more is that it is being offered by amazon sellers (people selling through Amazon) - not by Amazon itself. The pre-order (and cheaper) item is sold by Amazon.

Yes, I just realized I put up the same link twice. The link you provided was supposed to be my first link.

I understand why it is $10 more - because the Sellers are charging more! But this is something unusual - most of the time, sellers are selling for cheaper than Amazon itself. Even look at all the other WFRP products - with the exception of the Core Set, they sell at least a good $6 under Amazon's price, which is usually a good $15 off the MSRP!

But here's the strange thing - do a Google Shopping search, you will find that this duplicate is all over the internet! Even Barnes and Nobles has this up for sale. Same cover and everything.
