You wouldn't have been able to buy just terrain anyway

It might seem like odd to reissue an older set like this, but if the tooling for a plastic set exists there's really no downside to running off as many as you can sell. Its like printing money.

Apart from time to cast something else. Like loonshrine so people could start armies, more legion core infantry oi practically anything seeing they can't keep up with demand.

Only if they use the same machines, and I doubt it.

And the Loonshrine is made in China.

The Battle for McDonalds box was pretty cool... when it was released.

Now though? I just don't see the point.

That gives me hope that battle for skull pass or island of blood will get a future re-release (the latter was MTO during aos once)

Assault on Black Reach would be nice too. That was released at Toys R Us in green plastic iirc

I would buy 20 copies of skull pass if they do a MTO on it.

I doubt we will we see Island of blood return even as a MTO, due to the skaven not getting a proper old world release.

Where do you think the scenery was made before?

It's weird that they aren't selling the scenery made to order by itself.

I still haven't received my Rogue Trader reprint, so meh.

Same

Well, BfM box says Made in UK so I they should have the moulds at home. MtO made in China doesn't make sense, too - they A) don't know the amount of orders and it's B) not large enough to justify it - it's not like they can sell the rest somewhere.

Well, at least this has its terrain included, one step up from that way more baffling 3rd ed starter MTO from a couple years back.

I thought it was supposed to be on sale 10am local time?

That's what it says, but it also lists the end time as GMT only, so maybe the start time should be GMT also.

Product page is up on NZ and not UK so that part of it at least is local time but there's no "buy" button yet

I love the BoM terrain, and IIRC it was never released separately

It was sold separately during the 5th edition, but I guess it was too much for them to sell it separately now.

I'm tempted by the lander, and there's really no such thing as too many Termagants.

Does anyone know if those Marines have weapon options, or are they locked to flamer and missile launcher?

This takes me back to they days when a flamer and a plasma pistol could find happiness together as a plasma gun.

Was that really all the marine side got? I thought there was a monopose captain too, or am I thinking of another set?

Black reach probably, dread, captain and tac squad.

Probably only 2 years to wait until we can get Dark Vengeance again.
I wonder if they'll include Seraphicus .?

Has anyone been able to order this looks like the page is broken??

Same here on the French site, the page is broken: the title is in German, and it's not possible to add it to the cart (or see the price).

page is there but has no pictures or buy button. GW's new website continues to disappoint.

Same in UK, on iPad.

Weird.

Same for Australia. No 'Buy' Button, No Price and No real image, and it ends 26 Dec.
Obviously, this new site has been thoroughly tested (NOT).

It is now up and available to buy in the UK.
£90, so I am out. I was expecting about £50-60.

Yeah. Wouldn’t say no to the scenery, Genestealers and Spore Mines. But…nah. Not at £90.

Ha $250Aus for something that was sub $140 20 years ago and came with a rule book and other paraphernalia.

Go home GW, you're drunk.

Fixed as well here, price for Europe is 120€. I find it a bit expensive considering the minis are very dated, so that would be mostly for the terrain, which looks cool but not 120€ cool for me.

It's exactly the price I expected (too expensive).

Ouch. That's a pass. I really cannot fathom what they are thinking with these releases. Are there that many people still out there spending this much money that we don't even have on ancient stuff we won't receive for six months?

I feel like an Island of Blood MTO would’ve been better received.

It’s a low risk thing for GW. The moulds already exist. And being MTO, pretty much zero chance of stock not selling. A filler release to be sure, but one all but guaranteed to generate profit.
