Marvel: Crisis Protocol – Earth’s Mightiest Core Set Pricing Breakdown
The new Marvel: Crisis Protocol starter set is coming next week and now is the time to get your pre-order in. But is it worth it?
We don’t normally do a pricing breakdown for Marvel: Crisis Protocol products but with the new core set on the way now is the perfect time to do some comparisons. Not only is this new box the perfect way to dive into Marvel: Crisis Protocol it’s actually quite the value once you add everything up. But don’t take my word for it — we’ve got the actual numbers to prove it.
Marvel: Crisis Protocol – Earth’s Mightiest Core Set
Contents:
13 all-new miniatures = $179.97*
26 terrain features = $54.95-$69.95**
Movement and Range Tools = $19.99
6 new Crisis Cards
20 Team Tactic Cards
Tokens and play aids
Core Rules
Total Individual estimated MSRP: $264.90-$279.90
MSPR: $149.99
Estimated Savings: $129.91-$114.91
*The price is based on the cost of an affiliation pack of 4 heroes. Those range from $59.99 to $64.99. We took the lowest price and multiplied it by 3 to get the price of $179.97. That’s probably on the lower end as the affiliation packs are also discounted vs single or double hero boxes.
**The price of the terrain in the box is another tricky one to calculate. From the looks of the set, it appears that it’s a mix of roughly 3 different sets. In a way, it’s half of each of those sets which is 1.5 times the contents of what you’d find in those sets individually. Those sets also range in price from $54.95 to $69.95 so we just used that range. Again, this is probably lowballing the price, but you get the idea.
Earth’s Mightiest True Value
At the end of the day if you just accounted for the 13 characters in the box you’re getting a deal. When you add in the terrain, dice, and templates then it’s well worth the price point. And while you can include the price of the Tactics Cards and Crisis Cards as part of the price for the character packs those are also nice to have. The Rules for the game are also available to download but, again, it’s nice to have a physical copy included.
One other notable feature of this set is that it doesn’t invalidate the previous core set. All of the characters in this box are alternate versions of the same characters. Now, if you know how list building works for MCP that means you can’t have two of the same Captain America (Steve Rodgers) on the board but both versions are still “legal” for play as they have different threat levels. In fact, since the old core set is getting replaced by the new one, those characters are getting moved to something akin to an affiliation box so you can still buy them.
The new Marvel: Crisis Protocol Core set is up for pre-order now and will be available in stores October 6, 2023!
