Description
The Superdrop contains seven drops. Buyers receive two The Brothers' War Collector Boosters for every $200 spent on Summer Superdrop 2023.
The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth is a tie-in with the Universes Beyond set The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth, released three days earlier. Based on the 1978 animated fantasy film The Lord of the Rings, this drop revisits the classic movie directed by Ralph Bakshi from the screenplay by Chris Conkling and Peter S. Beagle based on the novel of the same name by J. R. R. Tolkien.[2]
There is also a drop in the Artist Series, featuring Ryan Alexander Lee.
The Death Is Temporary, Metal Is Forever is accompanied by the following poem:
- “Waste Not” by the Nekusar, the Mindrazer.
Syr Konrad, the Grim rode into war,
Upon a steed of shadow and pain.
The inhuman horde fell to his sword,
The ghasts and the ghouls had been slain.
But when the Mindrazer joined the fray,
Syr Konrad was unseated and fell.
Bound to the Wheel of Misfortune
And slowly dragged into hell.
