D&D General Royal Mail D&D 50th Anniversary Stamps

The UK's Royal Mail is releasing a set of 50th Anniversary D&D stamps. They're different from the US ones, and have new art from Wayne Reynolds.

You can get the stamps in a presentation pack, or individual stamps enlarged and framed, along with stamp books and collector's sheets.

The Royal Mail has an interview with Wayne Reynolds here.

Ordered some. They do look pretty cool.

That is some really nice art.
It costs 2.50 GBP to send a letter? That's around $3-$4 (Haven't checked exchange rates in a while).

Hard to keep track of prices here but £2.50 must be for international or parcels. The ones that say "1st" are first class letter stamps so currently £1.35 (but stamps seem to go up in price frequently and by a lot...)

I don't think I've seen this posted but I'll delete if it's elsewhere. The UK's Royal Mail is following the US Postal Service in releasing 50th Anniversary D&D stamps. They're different from the US ones and seem to have new art from Wayne Reynolds, no less.

There's a little more on Twitter/X now, including this useful video and pics (I know, the link name doesn't sound promising but I swear this won't take you to Rick singing his famous song):

Seems odd to have the King’s head looking left on some stamps and right on others? I know they always look in the same direction on coins (the opposite direction to their predecessor) and assumed it was the same on stamps.
