Still waiting for my copy. I thought USPS was meant to be fast...

The United States Postal Service(USPS) is brutally slow.

UPS, however, is pretty dang fast.

It's nice to see crotalids again. Like the grinx, odd little stuff from 40k that doesn't get brought up much.

Those fethers.

When you get your delivery.
Personally I'd say they are fast at loosing stuff, always take insurance if you HAVE to use them.

Im still waiting for some heads from the US via USPS and Royal Mail

Compatibility between the systems isn't likely to be an issue. DH, RT, and DW are all completely compatible (albeit with some small changes here and there). The big question is going to be how badly new BC characters outclass new DH characters, and how badly those same BC characters are outclassed by new DW characters.

I'm more curious about when we'll hear about Hostile Acquisitions, the next book in line for RT, Q2 2011 is almost over damn it.

Every time I ordered from GWUS it came via USPS, and it arrived within days. This is two weeks later and still nothing.

And UPS delivery would have cost more than the book itself, so screw them.

Maybe it's taking longer because it's FFG, not the highly effective and black shirt clad GW?

I thought the shirts were brown at GW? You know, the ones with the red arm band?

...I think your orders with GWUS come faster than mine do.

And I'm literally the next state over from the manufacturing plant.

Who did you order it through?

Managers wear black though.

I had an order from GWUS arrive in 36 hours once. That was pretty cool.

Kanluwen wrote:Who did you order it through?

Through Fantasy Flight. The options were USPS at decent rates ($25-ish) or UPS at well over the worth of the book itself. No thanks!

Well there's yer problem there. You ordered through FFG!

Well it was either order it via Maelstrom for 50-ish bucks, or order it through FFG and just pay the shipping.

...Or you could have ordered it through The Warstore, gotten a discount, and paid the same exorbitant shipping but get it shipped within a few days.

The one time I used UPS it was more expensive than USPS and took longer to arrive.

Kanluwen wrote:...Or you could have ordered it through The Warstore, gotten a discount, and paid the same exorbitant shipping but get it shipped within a few days.

Yeah... the discount I'm getting kinda beats whatever The Warstore can do. Notice I said "...and just pay the shipping." Think about that for a bit.

Pft. I still got my copy of Mark of the Xenos before you did.

Yes. You did. Sorta.

Hrm, seriously thinking about ordering directly from FFG, it might be faster than my FLGS.

See, Brook, now you're just rubbing it in.

Excuse me, I'm going back to working on my Crotalid model concept.

Because warp jumping crocodiles are awesome.

Have mercy Messrs, I am already torturing myself a lot by solely putting the focus on Rogue Trader, foregoing Dark Heresy and Death Watch until such a time that I can get into all three (or four?) wholly again.

Ah, the internet, where if your side makes a bad nazi joke it's humor, and if the other side does, jump up and down and scream Godwin! BTW: Godwin's law actually has a clause that exempts certain subjects, including anything that actually pertains to, or refers to, or is based on, Nazis, which, I might point out, would, more or less encompass 40k, being a game about, for all intents and purposes, future space Nazis.

Put the Nazis down...please!

Yeah even I knew the Kan was kidding. Sheesh...

Alpharius wrote:Put the Nazis down...please!

Fine, fine, I'll toss them over here with the other things that Kan jumps on me about. Let me just move this female space marine out of the way...

I finally have a copy of Battlefleet Koronus and Mark of the Xenos on the way. I cannot wait to get back to the states so I can actually keep up with these books.
