For anyone who's interested in the precise contents of these special editions and prices, I have posted all the confirmed details on my blogsite here:-

These ones are coming out on the 12th April but you can put your advance order in now.

Wood Elf box seems kinda weak. I know Treekin aren't cheap, but that' just a handful of models for some serious cash.

Looks like just a repackaging (or bundling) of what we already have. I'd be far more interested if the (for instance) Orc War Boss was special for the 25th.

a plastic ork warboss would be a nice addition to 40k

So what exactly is special about these armies? I can't see any discount, and they haven't shown any special edition models in them either. Are they just boxing up stuff thats not selling great and putting a sticker on the box?

Maybe you get a slice of cake with every set you buy?

Hmmm, I just don't see the point of these. Unless someone actually needs everything in those boxes, they aren't a deal. They are less 'special' than your average battleforce. Certainly less than the Armageddon deals. My 'retailer sense' is tingling. I smell thousands of dollars of lead sitting on my shelf for a couple of years. I'll pass on these except for special orders, at my shops.
