It would not be the first time that GW has fed misinformation to what they consider suspects and see what happens.

But they don't distribute fake WDs containing the bundle description

Really Kan - no need to break all the pills in half!

You leave my pills alone, Alphy!

Wow, once again GW is cutting out the FLGS. You know if they cut out our game stores where are we to play 40k? It seems this is much like cutting your own throat.

I'll probably get the Necron set if it's available through FLGS. It should come to about 45% off in total with my regular discount.

What's the FLGS have to do with anything? If the grief is over ordering GW Direct the shipping is going to be free. FLGSs have always had the ability to put together large packages and offer a greater discount but usually don't so no blaming GW there either. Retailers get a much better discount from distributors/GW. I guess I'm not seeing the root of your complaint. Please explain.

I think he's trying to say that GW is undercutting local hobby shops. GW has had a somewhat antagonistic relationship with FLGSes for some time now, so this kind of thing isn't surprising. I have to think a lot of the fire is aimed at online retailers (only stuff I deal with, since my LGSes either aren't particularly friendly or else has no selection in shop) and personally it stinks a bit with that.

I'd agree with the undercutting thing if they had permanent bulk discounts. I've laways wondered why they don't do this, have a big bundle deal on all their armies. No need for a special box just send the individual boxes. However, they don't its a simple trawl for the Christmas market. I actually think they've missed a trick and should do all the armies, it's annoying to say the least when you are again seeing these great deals but not on your own armies.

For 99% of the year on 99% of stuff the FLGS can undercut GW prices and still make a profit so GW have a LOT of price cutting and deals to set up in order to make that move!

Last holiday season my FLGS was 50% off all their GW stuff. I don't see getting mad at the manufacturer for doing the same thing. Even if it is select bundled items.

A little birdie tells me there's actual info on GW bundles coming soon...

I think we'll have that news any second now, in this thread.

Right?

Guess so?

Funny, I actually wanted to list exactly those.

So glider = ghost ark, not night scythe

Although with the CCB is a playable army out the box.

Will pick it up if my flgs can get it in, they still have a few dark eldar ones from last time so should be able to.

Only thing I would do is sell the stalker for some more spyders/wraiths/flyers, its the only thing I would probably never use for necrons.

That Space Marine force isn't bad at all for $250

I got last years SM Megaforce (which is nearly identical) from my FLGS for $188 that is including local tax.

So unless they let the FLGS order them, I am not even considering it as I still have nearly half of last years kit still in the box.

And the sick thing about it is that I know of one that has a few from the year before, still on the shelf. ( of course they keep jacking up the price, but the thing is still on the shelf.)

Those army sets don't look too bad though, seeing the way that GW is going, you'll only need to sell one of your kidneys to get that outside of this offer.
