I was wondering whether the Legendary Bundle pricing took into account any pre-orders I've already done. Specifically, I've pre-ordered Fizban's, and was wondering if the price of the Legendary Bundle would change at all (up or down) after Fizban's actually releases. I suppose I could just wait 4 days, but I'm impatient.

On a related note, if I wanted to pre-order the new Critical Role book, should I do that before or after grabbing the Legendary Bundle, if I were looking to get the best deal?

Bundles only include published items, not items available for pre-order. If you open up the full description of any given bundle it lists all of the books currently available as part of the bundle. At present, Fizban's is not listed as part of the bundle, the most recent book listed is The Wild Beyond the Witchlight. The price of the bundle will go up once the next book is published online and added to the bundle.

If you're definitely going to purchase the Legendary Bundle, buy that now before pre-ordering anything else, so you can apply the Legendary Bundle's discount to your preorder.

If you want the most savings though, I would wait until Thanksgiving/Black Friday/Cyber Monday or Christmas and purchase everything then. I believe Thanksgiving's discount on bundles is usually higher though, so I would purchase it then rather than Christmas.

If you still want as much savings as possible and have the preorder bonuses, then preorder FTOD on the 25th right before release just in case there is a sale over the next few days. You also want to do the same for S:ACOC and CR:COTN, and ideally purchase them during a sale. If a sale does not happen, then just preorder them on the last day before release. In the grand scheme of things, preordering during a sale is not going to make a huge difference, as you will need to pay back the savings anyways when you buy the Legendary Bundle, I recommend keeping as much cash in your wallet for as long as possible because you never know when you will need it for an emergency. And when shit hits the fan, every dollar and penny counts.

To be clear, I've already paid for the preorder for Fizban's, so advice on timing of that is pretty moot at this point. Also, I know the total price of the bundle will go up after it's released on Tuesday, but I was specifically asking whether the price for me would be higher or lower after that.

It does make sense to wait to preorder any other books until after grabbing the bundle though, I wasn't clear on way the discount worked, but it makes sense now.

 You should be able to cancel it. If you cancel it, buy the bundle then pre order it again, you should save yourself a few dollars (about $5?). The only downside is that it may mean moving up your schedule on buying the bundle.

The Legendary Bundle price shouldn't go up if you've already preordered Fizban's. Bundle costs are reduced by what you've paid for content you already own within them.
