It seems like 5.5e or an FR box set is going to be announced Sunday

that is way too high to justify a price point for 5.5 (which they would presumably want to be accessible and widespread), and that's even without using Tasha's quality as a baseline for justifying a price!

Agreed. I'd expect 5.5 to come in a set, but also in three separate books. And I hope it doesn't come any time soon.
