Will Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power come with free shipping?

 Because Amazon is making it? (Ba-dam-tish!).  

That being said, the teaser looks purdy: 

This is actually an interesting period to look at, given that it's only spoken of in some of the background material, but is actually the vital set up for everything that comes later, in the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. 

My personal thought is that this is better, then the rumored First Age story. It allows us to touch events that are directly contributing to what we see later, but also isn't quite a... super heroic, as the First Age was. We'll see, and I'm looking forward to it.
