For some, this news brings a mix of emotions, from excitement about potential updates to concerns over the implications for existing collections and investments.

Apprehension and Fear

Enthusiasts who recently invested in the current edition, especially those who purchased the latest "Eye of Sauron" rulebook, are understandably apprehensive.
