That's the same rehearsed reply they gave me when I asked at GenCon. They clearly never thought about it.

It's pretty easy: An upgrade pack would include the characters/scenario, the miniatures for said heroes, and any hero/zombie cards that are entirely *new* (if any?). An upgrade pack wouldn't include wording-tweaking reprints of the HP/ZP (people have the originals; an upgrade pack wouldn't include them), or all the plastic bits (the cardboard ones work fine), or the unified rule book.

Sadly, this is a case of "it's not rocket surgery: it's just an excuse".

The part that really makes it move from "bad decision" to "offensive", though, is that the 10th Anniversary Edition is a "limited edition", so only those select few players who buy it during its narrow window will be able to have the complete game. (And most of those people are those who AREN'T long-term fans of the game.)
