$49.50, just like the codex. Strangely though the special edition is only $85 instead of $100. Once again I have to wonder if GW doesn't rely on dice to decide prices because this gak is awfully random.

Yea but this has been proof read and edited lol.
That's a joke right? I hope so.. GW books are hardly proofread or edited to exacting standards. I question why anyone would pay for the limited edition of either of the eldar books. I'd be laughed out of the hobby by my friends if I spent 50$ on a dust jacket.

Firstly, I'm very entertained by the thought of them being termed "wraith-bros"
Next, if what I hear about the supplement is true then I'm excessively disappointed. I'd hoped for a genuinely fresh take on Iyanden, instead I end up with 2 pages of Matt Ward rules, and a bunch of stuff for 40k Supplements I don't intend to use. Does anyone have a clue just how much of the storylines are actually new? Hoping to find some kind of redeeming quality here...

I'm a huge fan of it, but can't justify an extra £20 for a glorified dusk jacket no matter how much I like it, so grabbed a normal one for the lads allies and a potential spare army for the family as I'll be painting them.

26 € is JUST the dust jacket. Add 39€ for the content
I would be more willing to buy a supplement for a codex if it was physical rather than a digital version. Im just old fashioned i like to hold things in my hands. Its the same with my music, i dont do downloads i prefer physical copies.

I cannot wait to spend an extra 80 bucks or so for Spiritseers that have also been thoroughly proofread. That is how I know their finecast will be free o grammatical defects.

Yeah Kroot, I'm going to have to agree with you here and say that BryllCream was a bit confused on what that extra 26€ was going to get him.

It would have been super if they just made it a regular codex that was themed around Iyanden rather than a supplement. You don't need a supplement if you play space wolves or blood angels, so why start now?
I get the space marines are their biggest sellers and so theyre going to give them the most content, but come one. The first non-space marine expansion is set as a supplement for the main rulebook. For $50 I would really hope they could just stick in the same rules and just add their own wargear and content to it (or add restrictions that fit with Iyanden background). Honestly, I want this book, but as more info was leaked over the last few weeks it seemed like GW was trying to make this an obvious cash grab.
Frankly I am big on the background and I love the idea of 30-something new pages of history and illustrations, but does that justify the same price tag as a regular codex? Do i really want to drag around 3 books to play one army.

As someone without a horse in the Iyanden race, I don't see the amount of rules (putting the price aside for the moment) as an issue, just that it's a wasted opportunity.
IMO they should either have done all the Craftworlds, or gone for Codex: Doom of the Eldar and included variation for both Iyanden and the appropriate Tyranid hive fleet (Behemoth?) for normal games, then a host of scenarios etc like FW do with their 5-stage campaigns (eg in the Badab War books) so you could put together your own re-fight of the invasion of Iyanden.
