So, we have heard all sort of clues, maybe some false ones too (red herrings anyone), from GW.

We know 'all will be revealed' at GD Germany.

So, how does one order the Mystery Box again?

Will it be available online via GW once we actually know what it is?

Or is this 'in store' only?

I think you are confusing the mystery box with the black box.

BUT as said before, once it is revealed you will be able to pre-order it if you like.

And yes, the contents will be revealed.

I'm guessing in-store, in order to promote their brick n' mortar locations that no one really goes to.

I don't think it's Space Hulk, as someone here quoted that Jervis stated it wasn't (Though who knows, I don't)

What do I think it is? Maybe an Epic 40k Starter Box, maybe a Reaver Titan, may be a collection of really, really old mini's that GW want to maximize profits on before they destroy the old moulds. Who Knows?

Er, maybe I am then?

I wouldn't put it past me...!

So, what is the BLACK BOX then too?

Yes, apparently I am confused.

The black box is the box that stores get about a month in advance with the releases of the upcoming month. Usually just the sprues, no boxes or instructions included. For example: the Amsterdam store's Black Box for August contained two Demolisher kits, one Hellhound kit, one Planetary Empires kit plus two Hive City tiles and a how to paint tanks book.

Oh sod it, I'm going to ask. What is the PAN FO?

ninja samurai panda's from hell is the pan fo.

BrookM, I think he means that whole "GW's got this "We've never tried this crap before" box"

Right, that's the one.

The "Mystery Box" of "We've Never Done It Before" which will (allegedly) be revealed at GD Germany.

NOTE: REVEALED. NOT REVILED.

NOTE 2: It MIGHT be a good idea to keep op topic in this thread.

You know, just sayin'.

Ah, the one thing I didn't guess (possibly because pandas come from China and not Japan). Still, sounds kind of fun.

For something they've never done before, it could be: Updated FAQs and Errata that fix real problems (like, do deffrollas ram, can you disembark from a Valkyrie, etc.).

Adding up all the information that I got the other day at the store and the context of that conversation, I'd say that it could very well indeed be a Warhammer Quest remake (like BrookM suggested in the other thread).

Oh dear, you're marking me as a target for scorn now..

Warhammer Quest? Seriously?

Well that or the oft hinted at Collectors Range of Primarchs and other Heresy models that have been mentioned at GD UK.

Every time I see a post about this thing I just keep thinking of brad pitt at the end of Seven... "Ahhhh... what's in the boxxxx??!?!??!!!112"

GeeDub has the upper hand....

oooooo!! That is exciting if that was to happen. Not heard about that as a possibility. Can you imagine the number of purity seals and skulls you can fit on a primarch model to get patented GW GrimDark - hundreds?

Two moar weeks, let's try and keep our heads cool people. Take your pills.

It's Space Hulk. They said it's a board game.

Look for the "never done before" part to be about the corridors or miniatures or something.

The studio's likely under a gag order re: SH. If Jervis answered anything other than "no" when asked, he'd be giving it away. So he lied. *shrug*

The irony is that people might be disappointed when it's only SH. Whereas if they'd just announced SH, there'd be more excitement.

Twenty - two (missing) + one (emperor) = nineteen, so if there are indeed 30 miniatures in the box who would the other eleven be?

Maybe it's the 40K version of Warhammer Quest

I'm getting married in two weeks and shall miss the excitement. No Dakka permitted on the honeymoon!

Well, gotta give GW some credit for keeping it under lock and key for so long. I think it goes to show that GW could be intentionally leaking some things after all when they want to.

IIRC aren't their supposed to be 30 figures in the new SH box? 10 Termies and 20 Genestealers?

its a gw version of monopoly....except with 3 times as many spaces that cost you money

But we also get "real-sized space marines and their opponents" to look at / throw some dice and move them.....

40k LARP ?

Its Space Hulk. Its been reported so many times on so many sites that its coming out again this year that for Jervis to say there are no plans to release it again should point you to the 'mystery box' that know one is allowed to talk about. If he had said yes it will be out before xmas I would still be racking my brain as to what the mystery box was...

Me neither!

Now THAT would get me going...

I still hope it is Space Hulk though.

Ok, missed this one, whats all the talk of a mystery box?
can it be ordered?
