With Amazon’s preorder price guarantee, you’ll only pay the lowest price offered from the time you order and release. To be honest, I’m a bit surprised Amazon’s starting price is $38 for this edition. With this being Lord of the Rings and the price of steelbooks lately, I would’ve expected higher.
This steelbook looks pretty great, too, with character art of Helm Hammerhand (voiced by Brian Cox) and Hera (voiced by Gaia Wise). The interior of the case features a map of Rohan, which is a nice nod to the books, many of which feature similarly designed maps on the interior covers or as fold-out inserts.

$23
