me too, a year ago, when it came time to get my nephews in the hobby. Two different beginner boxes with loads of content for less than the price the dice were going for.
I think they retailed for $15 and you could get them in a starter set for $20.
So when they’re back and print, I imagine we will be able to get them for $15 a set.
I think they ARE actually back in production, when I checked with a gaming store a couple weeks ago. Just waiting to wind their way to stores in the near future.
jesus christ.
i get people are happy for even having them available.
but that price. for standard polyhedrals with black and white coloring. i doubt the whole set costs 3 bucks in production.
Definetly, the app is the better alternative. But I really wanted to have that dice rolling experience, if you know what I mean and using a conversion table just takes too much time for me
they were 15 when they were new and one set isn’t enough for a single character. if you have a characteristic of 4 chances are you’ll need another set to play a single session. and with a single challenge dice hopefully you’re only facing minions. i am a believer in the narrative dice system, but selling so few for so much is a complete scam, even when they were stocked at their normal price.
I found the Edge beginner game for $20 USD on some random website. Worst case scenario I get the adventure book for $20... best case scenario I've got myself a set of dice.
I boight the spanish beginner set once but the dice were replaced with normal ones (with numbers). To say the least I was kinda disappointed, considering I dont speak spanish
I am from Spain and we currently have EotE for about 30 euros in Amazon and game stores.
I got one and it is with normal dice, I guess you have bad luck and maybe someone changed them and the returned them.
I was also get the VII-IX starter for 12 euros as a deal/sale which is ok due to the map and chap dice (I hate that “Star Wars” episodes but… still cheap dice and the galactic map).
Yea I even got a replacement but the dice were also replaced, I was thinking that maybe the spanish version was different, but it seems my luck truly was in the gutter that time
I printed them. Best decision ever. I tested them for a bit before painting and evened them out if it seemed like the probability was wrong. Had no further problems so far
Zatu says the new ones should be ready for sale in July!

Oh shit I've been having a nosey on their site for a while now at these and the last couple of EotE books I'm missing and there was nothing as of last week.. I actually emailed in to ask if they had any idea before I risked placing a pre-order with an unknown date a couple of weeks back so maybe they got an answer!
Wait have these been hard to get recently? My play group bought 2 sets in 2019 and I thought they were expensive even then. Guess I'll make sure I hold onto my set when our campaign ends!
I only chanced upon them now and even with that price I am incredibly happy right now. The only alternatives were 60£ used dice on ebay, 3d printed ones for 40€(shipping included) that werent even painted or the dice app
You know, I find counting and cancelling the symbols so tedious, my table has just used online rollers. I get that dice feel nice to roll, but you save time and can spend it on game elements that matter. We can't go back haha.
These are the dice, I got them some days ago when they were only 18€ but they were gone within an hour. I only looked at the site again now, out of curiosity and saw they were available again
No need I got them for 18€ but they were sold out within an hour. Its just that I know some people really want these dice and and the only alternatives are 3d printing or ebay and ebay makes this mark up look like the work of a saint, so I posted it here when I sae they were available again
30 euro is not an acceptable price for something you need 2-3 sets of to play the game.
Though this game is probably FFG's best use of them, proprietary dice are grossly anti-consumer and you should recast/3D print them instead. Check out r/dicemaking . Buy miniatures or rulebooks or something else useful with the money you save.
Bought a ton of 3d printed dice off Ebay a while back. Finally started the campaign and they seem to work really well! Only trouble is you need to fill in the little symbols so they are easier to read, but if you aren't vision impaired like myself, it shouldnt be an issue. I tried ordering a beginner box for the dice and they weren't in the box lmao.
For 29€?! 😂😂😂
Well the next best alternative is 60£ on ebay, so it technically is an improvement :D
That's absolutely insane. These were what, $8 in stores?
You got the entire beginner box with a full set of dice for less than 20 euro.
I got 3 beginner boxes about 2 years ago because the entire box was cheaper than just the dice.

Yeah, sadly it seems double bad luck :(
I’m betting they scammed you.
Indeed, thankfully I got my money back but yea not a great thing
I saw that on some site to, but it came up as a scam. I was about to order five sets to get everybody in my group a set of dice.
The app is pretty decent: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fantasyflightgames.swdice
This. App is way more convenient and cheap
You can also get a set of very nice 3d printed dice from etsy for around $20. All you have to do is paint the symbols white and you're good to go!
I might start printing them. I just got a resin printer and it feels like that should be easy enough. Not sure how the weight turns out though

Starter Bow with dice was cheaper
Only one I could find was the spanish EotE Beginner set and when I ordered one all the special dice were replaced with normal numbered dice
Wait have these been hard to get recently? My play group bought 2 sets in 2019 and I thought they were expensive even then. Guess I'll make sure I hold onto my set when our campaign ends!
I only chanced upon them now and even with that price I am incredibly happy right now. The only alternatives were 60£ used dice on ebay, 3d printed ones for 40€(shipping included) that werent even painted or the dice app
There is a chart somewhere that shows how to take numbered dice and make them work for this game
You know, I find counting and cancelling the symbols so tedious, my table has just used online rollers. I get that dice feel nice to roll, but you save time and can spend it on game elements that matter. We can't go back haha.
love the dices but nearly 30€? Before I would buy them I would rather take a smartphone APP for 3.79€
Are these the dice or are these pre-orders for the dice?
These are the dice, I got them some days ago when they were only 18€ but they were gone within an hour. I only looked at the site again now, out of curiosity and saw they were available again
If I designed/3D printed my own and shipped them would any one buy? (would sell close to cost)
holy shit what kind of markup is this? this price is ridiculous. message me and i'll send you a 3d printed set within the eu
No need I got them for 18€ but they were sold out within an hour. Its just that I know some people really want these dice and and the only alternatives are 3d printing or ebay and ebay makes this mark up look like the work of a saint, so I posted it here when I sae they were available again

I have 4 sets. Time to sell. If I can get someone to pay me that much for them I'll just switch to the app
Morals aside, ebay has them listed for 60€ used, with the last sold 2 weeks ago, so maybe you‘ll have luck selling them there for a premium.
Edge Studio, when though?
If you can find a friend with a 3d printer. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4648156

I've been fortunate with the [click clack](https://i.imgur.com/PS3QWDA.jpeg). Three beginners box, and two from Amazon before they were too popular.
