Or Webelos.

LOL!

On a related note, am I the only one who had problems with a bitz order placed just before they stopped selling them? I placed one in January and still haven't received it. The store owner is (apparently) trying to straighten things out with GW, but I'm pretty confident I'll never receive my "stock up and buy all the bitz you need for your army" purchase at this point. Which means the GT army I've been working on for the past year and a half is somewhat screwed. Yay for me.

Yeah, my final bitz order was lost in the Warp, too. I was hoping to get one of the original Beast of Chaos, a mounted version of my Marienburg Captain, and the Sister Hospitaller model for my Inquisition Retinue. Oh well.

I cant see bitz coming back, not in any useful way - given the source and other conflicting info. As stated it is probably Chinese whispers.

I can understand the business rationale behind the decision but I do think its just miserly not to offer the plastic sprues.

FYI - The hospitaler model is available in the UK site from the witchunters section........

Mike, I should have ordered from your store in the first place, as I've never had even the slightly hiccup when doing so. I had a feeling something was up after just a few weeks based on my experience with your store. Believe me, I made many phone calls.

Guess it's what I get for being a nice guy. I moved a few miles west recently and I thought I'd give my new local store some business. I don't want to name names without knowing what exactly went down. But the few extra miles of driving to one of your stores looks more appealing now.

Your local? Cool. I always feel bad when I see the "my bitz/order went missing", because I can't do a lot about it. Give me a call with the details, I'll give Mailorder a buzz, and we'll at least get you an answer Yes/No on whether it's still possible to get the order. Then you can at least get back the cost from the other store, and hopefully I or the guys in Mailorder can work on getting you the pieces. I'll be in the shop 10 to 5 today, and all day thursday.

It's the end of one month and beginning of the next. Any new word on this?

Nothing new really.

I think all we can hope for is more BITZ PACKS.

And we can also hope that they'll be arranged a bit better too.

Bitz packz sound awesome. I've always wished that I could get a load of unwanted bitz packaged together with the bitz that I do want. They should have implemented this years ago.

I just need a single seperate hammerhead SMS system. Is that too much to ask... is it?

I want a right side powerfist without buying a whole Furioso.

The update happened a few weeks back on the UK site. It was a true stealth update too, no announcements. Look here: http://uk.games-workshop.com/storefront/store.uk at the section that says: "Download the latest updates for the following:" You will see new stuff in the Collectors & Bitz catalogues. They broke the sections down as Showpiece, Historic and Alternatives also.

Thanks for the headsup. It's quite hefty (20+ mb) I doubt it's any use though.

/AWESOME!
Looks like I'm all set for bits I'll never use. Would Iron Warriors with ork arms and massive wings look any good I wonder?

I'd like to meet the guy that wrote the introduction. Comedy genius.
