Short answer: Well I would buy this only for the 5 painted minis and the 6 poor hexes, so that's why I don't buy it. I think for 20$, from an used copy for example, I'd give it a go
But I still feel like the supply is not high-quality (except the 5 painted figures) and most of it is re-using stuff (I didn't touch the game tho I am not sure, but it's what I feel when I look at the picture). I am not an expert at all but I don't think manufacturing this kind of stuff is really expensive, but as you say I might be unaware of some expensive steps I dunno.
Usually for games the expensive price is more due to the design step than the manufacturing step (compared to other products) but here as 95% of the mechanics of the game were already existing I don't know where the cost really comes from.
It's not as much of a money hole as for example Magic Cards but I still think it's too expensive for what it offers.
Keep in mind that I'm not into board games at all (I think the last one I bought was something like 5 or 6 years ago), and the fact that they're incredibly expensive is a big reason for that.
I'm just a really hard person to please, like Aldin say, most boardgames fans will be happy with this price I think.
