It's SPACE CRUSADE BAY-BE!

At last I can live my fantasy of penetrating Nid Spinchers with my throbbing boarding torpedos!

The boarding torpedo -- first it penetrates, then it explodes!

So
I personally am excited for the "mystery box"
I also know in my heart of hearts that it is Space Hulk
I just don't understand why everyone is so upset about the release info coming tomorrow (???)
Wanting it sooner is not going to make it happen.
I never got mad at my parents for not telling me what was wrapped in the boxes under the tree, I knew that I would find out on the morning of December 25th.
I know alot of you would "peek" and find out what is in there ahead of time, that's what the rumors are all about.
Tomorrow, alot of people will be excited, alot will be upset because of the hype machine, nothing will be able to live up to their expectations.

I'm going to buy a few copies, paint them up, and play with my new models.

News folks:

Die Mystery Box wurde auf dem Games Day nicht enthüllt, dafür aber durch die Blume verraten um was es sich handelt.

Das Cover und das Games Day T-Shirt verrät es. Während die Mitarbeiter mit dem oben abgebildeten Motiv des Terminator Helms herum liefen, war das für Kunden mit einem Tyranidenschädel versehen.

Man darf also für morgen Space Hulk erwarten. Die große “Enthüllung” fand auf dem Games Day leider nicht statt, da hier seitens UK ein Riegel vorgeschoben wurde und die Ankündigung via Newsletter (der für heute Abend / Nacht erwartet wird) passieren wird.

Preis der Box soll bei knapp 80 EUR liegen, die Gesamtauflage bei 5.000 Stück. Es handelt sich dabei um die deutsche Version die auch an die Einzelhändler mit maximal 15 Exemplaren pro Lokal verkauft wird.

Auf dem Games Day soll ein Trailer gezeigt werden, dieser wird für 16.00 Uhr erwartet. Wir reichen die Details entsprechend nach.

Translation:
- Mystery box hasn't been revealed yet
- announcement tonight via newsletter
- it's to 99% Space Hulk
- price: 80€
- only 5000 German versions, 15 per store
- there will be a trailer about the box at 16.00 (04.00pm)

I don't know why it has to be so rare.

This is especially great for those of us in timezones either far ahead of the UK (like me) or far behind the UK (like most of the people here).

This means that they have to be up early to get it, and I have to stay up late. The only thing that might happen is that it's a worldwide release tomorrow, and they'll have it in store tomorrow (doubt it) in which case I can go by GW on my way home and get it.

Assuming I even want it, but if it's a new space hulk with cardboard tiles that work with the old tiles (and not just repackaged 2nd Ed tiles), I'll get it.

Apparently you will only be allowed to buy one copy.

Bad analogy.
Here's a better one:
It's the morning of December 25th and you go to open your presents (ie you go to gamesday, where they had promised to "drop the bomb"). Your parents (GW) now tell you to wait until tomorrow.

THAT is why it's annoying.

Anyway, hopefully this is just a case of people jumping to conclusions and it will be revealed in a few minutes (ie "trailer at 16:00").

Oh well, dunno if I'll even be able to buy it - had a stupid delay when cashing out money to neteller, probably wont get to my bankaccount for another few days.

**NAVARRO**

Great, so few copies available means 0000 copies for Portugal... and for 80 euros its better be packed with plastic and not just cardboard.

**H.B.M.C.**

Worse:

It's Christmas and your parents tell you that they'll tell you what your present is going to be tomorrow, but not give it to you for another week.

**GMMStudios**

Im actually excited. I have a feeling it will be a lot better than the original too.

**1hadhq**

i shall confirm that we got nothing except a t-shirt to see.

**H.B.M.C.**

Do you feel ripped off 1hadhq?

Are they really this stupid?

**SagesStone**

It might actually be smart. In the short run it's a good marketing strategy as people will rush to buy it more quickly because of this stunt. So its extremely stupid, but somehow smart >_>

**chaplaingrabthar**

Everything we've been told is a lie

I'm giving serious consideration to not buying it, out of principle -.- Yeah, big deal, only one person, but maybe others feel the same - who knows.

Reminds me of a joke....
"Went to German Gamesday and all I got was this lousy Shirt"
