1st, welcome to the community!

Maybe you should consider turning your post into it's own thread?

It can stand fine on it's own legs as a topic.

Just a idea.

As for your question, I would not worry to much about lotr lcg dying anytime soon.

I think it has a growing player base, and they also will finish the lots saga expansions no doubt.

And with mini's you mean APs, as in adventure packs I take it?

I take a balanced approach, since I have financial and time constraints as well.

I try to pick up the expansions as they come out because they unlock gameplay for the entire upcoming cycle and provide 3 new quests to play through. After that, I pick and choose which APs I want to pick up, but try to go in chronological order - so I don't run into discontinued products.

Thanks Noccus and Distractionbeast for your kind replies.

Noccus, I sometimes tend to get long winded; I'll work on shortening my posts in the future.

Distractionbeast, What's killing me is that I'm not used to a 21% sales tax. One of the reasons I miss America. So, while the APs may cost 14.95, after shipping from Amazon UK - because FFG for some odd reason doesn't ship to the EU, I get hammered on every product.

I guess I'll start with the earliest APs first and work forward.

Thanks again and also thanks for the welcome.
