Rumors of paper mat and being in the photos shown in this thread. Not some high grade cloth/plastic. Then it would be cheaper. Rumors also say the boxes could double as scenery.

Sigh.. another 2 weeks to go!
can't wait!
can't wait!
Price will be "less than 100€... and more than 1€" from what Palanka told Australia Facebook Group. Also from same interview:
So 99 euros. Matches the 2 starters + dire foes + extras.
It will have 14 metal miniatures (15 if you take advantage of the pre-order offer); a Booklet both in English and Spanish with the Introductory Rules, the narrative campaign and an introduction to the Infinity Universe; 6 custom faction dice, 3 for Nomads and 3 for PanOceania; all the markers you may need for the miniatures included inside the box; a redesigned circular template; the first N3 Silhouette template; a movement ruler; and a pack of scenery ready to play.
some parts of the game have been completely redone, like Close Combat and Hacking (I absolutely love the new Hacking Rules), and some other parts have been tweaked, like Loss of Lieutenant and Retreat, but the core mechanics are still the same.
So 99 euros. Matches the 2 starters + dire foes + extras.

This set looks like such a great deal for me. So, you're telling me that for about $140, I can get a Nomads starter with some of the resculpts I need for my Corregidor and some of the models I'll want to start Tunguska, a civvie, three faction dice, markers, some terrain, another circular template (give the way that monofilament mines and smoke works, it's great to have a bunch of those - I have three but could use one more), a silhouette, and a campaign? And also, I have a PanO starter and three PanO dice worth of trade fodder? THIS IS INCREDIBLE.

Hmm... just checked with starters, 52 dollars, 36.95 euros (30 pounds)... yeah, 1.40 rate (.81 for pounds), so the box would be 140 (81), pre any discounts that seems typical latelly. Interesting, euros includes VAT (so do pounds, if not the same %)... probably morphs into shipping cost for dollars.

Awesome dice! Is the logo on the 20?
Ohhh I need to get me some of those! 
Regarding the Pricing of Icestorm
CB has just announced on august the 1st price changes are being applied to all starter sets except Morats, could this see a rise in starter prices
if so Icestorm could cost more than expected. Some have said that all starters will become Morat priced (I doubt it) which is 45 euros x2(for the two starters) is 90 euro's.I think it was also stated that Icestorm will be below 100 euro so I'm guessing between 85-95 euros. Depending on how good of a deal they wish to make it.

I honestly don't care about the price on Icestorm, I'll buy it either way.

I'm guessing 99 euro, which is still a great deal IMO.
Redesigned circular template? Interesting, wonder what the changes are? Changed the scattering?
I think the faction logo is on the 1, which is cool, since if it comes up it means you still hit

Checked on an actual D20 and you are correct

I hope "redesigned" just means that it will have different decorations. I'd hate for all the circular templates I already have to be invalidated somehow. That would be a huge bummer. Especially since I just bought a Warsenal Corregidor-themed circular template...

I would of thought it would be decorations maybe one with the smoke patterns shown at the back of the current rulebook or some thing specific to the operation Icestorm background?

They have three round templates with different designs that never got a special mention (smoke, zero-v smoke, explosion). I don't think it's going to be a new pattern.

I agree... Also I'm very pleased to discover that I smacked you around so hard at Saturday's tournament that you flew clear across the internet into a whole new forum!

Red is the perfect color, isn't it?
Given that you need custom molds for dice like that, I wonder if CB may have splurged and got a full set of molds, so each faction can have them. I hope so.
And what is going on with the Greek letters and Chinese(?) characters for icons?

I'm rather shocked how much love Nomads are getting.
