Los Angeles, CA-  The Worldwide Asset eXchange (WAX) and Act III Licensing and Brand Management have partnered to bring the iconic fairy tale film, The Princess Bride, to life through the film’s first NFT collection.

With its first drop on September 28, just in time for the film’s 34th anniversary, and the second drop a week later, WAX’s The Princess Bride collection will feature 900 packs per drop, containing 10 cards per pack. Each pack will cost $100 and the collection will feature a variety of different rarities for fans to collect, making the adventure that much more exciting!
