I don't know why they didn't just replace the dice with another digital item, like the Engraving Tool they have for Kickstarter. The dice+pouch obviously had value and contributed towards the total price of the CE. It's a little strange to remove the dice without changing the price or replacing it with something else. And receiving a time-limited beta key (for a game I and my gaming buddies already have beta access to) was not exactly useful (at all).
I understand manufacturing problems happen, but this could have been handled better.
