Given the COVID situation in Australia, it's probably not a good indication of anything. GW haven't released any stock for the official webstore or their official brick and mortar stores due to COVID lockdowns, and of the online stores most I checked haven't even put it up for preorder yet, a couple of the more deeply discounted ones are sold out but some of the more modest discounts are still listing it as in stock.
On this occasion, Australia is not going to be a good indicator to the rest of the world.
One thing that's maybe of note (or maybe not...) is the GW store has the "limited" symbol, but not the "made to order" symbol, so hopefully when it swaps from existing stock to made to order it'll be clear on the website and people won't be guessing whether their order will be fulfilled immediately or in several months.

Stores are reporting that GW is shipping to trade partners. Their warehouse is open, but understaffed.

Interesting, the local official GW store is saying they have no info on KT yet, so we'll see.
I ordered a copy online, so we'll see if and when it arrives, I'm not really trusting their stock levels this time around given the warehouse issues. I normally buy local to support the local game stores, but in this case the locals are closed.
The place I ordered from said they're going to speak to GW about getting more. Now we get to see if GW's "Everyone who wants one will get one!" promise really sticks.
Yeah, I was tempted to ask the shop I bought from how confident they were that they were actually going to be able to fulfil their orders, but in the end I just bought it and we'll see.
Most sites I saw weren't listing stock levels, one did and listed around 70 in stock.
Worst case I miss out, or maybe buy it at full GW price made to order, though I don't know how that'll work for us Aussies given it looks like Sydney could be locked down for a while yet. I don't imagine GW want to do one made-to-order run for the rest of the world, and another just for Oz/NZ.
Well the post is still operating - I've had a dozen things arrive from all around the place in recent months, including many folks in Melbourne sending me stuff - so we could be lucky there.
I haven't seen any stores showing stock levels, but I have seen at least one limiting it to 1 per customer.
Yeah, the post is fine (well, they suck, but they're still operating, lol). It's just a bit odd the way GW aren't selling through their own stores, but 3rd parties are still taking orders.
Gap Games was listing it as 76 in stock when I first checked, now listing 34 in stock.
The Combat Company says "Due to current restrictions, our stock of this product is limited. As a result, it will be available to order until stock runs out. Order now to avoid disappointment.", but their stock level also says "Secure Stock on Release", which makes me a bit concerned they are taking orders without having stock.
Got my copy an hour ago at the GW in Kobe. Japanese copies were gone, but English was still available. It was a pretty penny though.

I'm sure you'll be able able to get a copy, there's still several online retailers that are taking orders, and GW themselves haven't even started taking orders. The problem is only really in Oz where COVID lockdowns have messed up GW's distribution out of Sydney, and even outside of Sydney many FLGSs are closed due to local lockdowns.

From my experience working with my (admittedly great) FGLS, pretty much anything I have wanted that I preordered they were able to get (barring the Crimson Court Underworlds kit because 3 people preordered before me and they were only allocated 3). They will put you on a preorder list there earlier than official preorders if you ask. I know I asked on reveal day when I was picking up some paints and they put me on it. I talked to them the other day and they said I was 2 on the list and GW said they could order as many as they want, but guaranteed at least 12.
My previous FGLS when I lived in a different state was also pretty great about this.
Now, there can be lots of variation between stores and that store’s sale rep, but generally I found it’s way easier to get limited release products through FGLS than online.
Edited: I do live in the States however, so I’m not sure that influences supply and demand compared to the rest of the world.

There are no discounters in Japan?
Hahahahahahaha, what's that?
Most shops do not discount, they give you points to redeem for other things later on, but discounting the way it's done in the US it's a no no here.

Honestly I kinda liked that, paying less for stuff is good. But I don’t like having to look around for discounts or have extra issue buying from some places that really cannot offer such high discounts.
[/spoiler]The first two pics are each one half of the sprue. The extra sprue is a separate sprue. So the regular Medic bits are part of the main sprue, but the medical bag, demo guy, radio guy, zealot guy, bionic arm guy - all on a completely separate unattached sprue. Orks, on the other hand, are on a full 3-wide sprue.
This has been pointed out on the day Troke&Co had that live stream unboxing. But of course as always it got shouted down by hordes of blind people who trust their preconceived notions over visual evidence.

The old meta is dead and the new meta struggles to be born. Now is the time of munchkins.
I was under the impression that the teams would only be available separately at a later date, and the Octarius campaign book would never be available separately.
It is interesting about the Krieg sprue breakdown. All the Killteam specialisms are on a separate sprue - I wonder if the general release will be just the basic infantry parts. Or perhaps the sprue was designed first, then someone thought "why don't we design really cool specialists and launch Killteam?"

Hordes of what now? I don't recall any shouting down, lol, maybe I missed that part of the thread.
But yeah, the two big sprues contain everything you need to make a squad, including options for grenade launcher, sarge, melta, plasma and sniper, the other sprue is just "extras".
What GW do with this *shrugs*, maybe they'll throw in the extra sprue when the DKOK releases separately, or maybe it'll be a separate purchase, or maybe an extra kit for command units, or maybe it'll be limited release.
At this point we don't even know if GW will be releasing a full Krieg range or just this kit. In the FW thread it was pointed out that the FW Krieg have had their art refreshed and it seems like some stock is being replenished, so perhaps this kit is all we get and if you want a full Krieg army we'll still need to get it from FW.

Good luck with that, I'm predicting there'll be heaps of Orks on the market and no DKOK. Guard players will be wanting tons of DKOK, but I can't imagine Ork players wanting tons of Kommandos no matter how nice the models look.

I've already arranged a swap locally with an Ork player who is also pre-ordering (providing they get their set)

1) If I miss the initial print run and have to wait 6 months, there's going to be at least 2 more sets come out in between, probably making the original rules out of date. If you're on the 6 months made to order list, you'll end up spending extra by having to buy a single rulebook to play anyway.
2) The old rulebook was £25 and had rules and model stats. Now to get the same thing, I have to spend £60 on books?
Meh.
Currently most played: Silent Death, Mars Code Aurora, Battletech, Warcrow and Infinity.

Nice, that's lucky, I reckon it's going to be a lot easier to find players wanting to trade away the Orks than the DKOK.
Well, if there are any Ork players in Melbourne who want the Kommandos/Terrain and not the DKOK or are trying to get rid of a set of DKOK, give me a yell, haha.
"The larger point though, is that as players, we have more control over what the game looks and feels like than most of us are willing to use in order to solve our own problems"

Pop it up on local facebook groups (like I did), makes it all a lot easier to find specific people. I had 5 in total willing to trade.

Orks in particular seem to have gotten the short end of the stick. Bit of a shame really.
Another strange thing is that Krieg get orders for free, and have a set of strategems.
Whereas regular Guard have to spend CP to use those same orders as their strategems.
Well, I'm out. This is not what I'm looking for in a skirmish game. A Space Marine kill team is so inflexible it can't even combine intercessors and assault intercessors. Just utter garbage.
I think I'm finally done with GW. They really do think 'The Hobby' is just buying their products, don't they? Any hint of customising or converting your models or making them "your dudes" must be ruthlessly suppressed in case somebody dares to use a third-party gun or head. You buy a box of intercessors, you build them exactly per the instructions, with no options or scope for individuality whatsoever, you paint them in one of the approved colour schemes based on official GW IP, then you get to play a really boring game with them. That's GW's vision for this hobby.
A little bit of righteous anger now and then is good, actually. Don't trust a person who never gets angry.
