I’m guessing it’s the usual embargo though. That you’ve got, but can’t handover until release day.

Strange that independent stores get it before GW stores but long may it continue and enjoy it while it lasts before bean counters find out.

I suspect it’s at their very behest. After all, if FLGS (particularly smaller ones) order, then don’t receive? They’re less likely to continue carrying your product.
I know my friend’s FLGS is getting their stuff in-hand in advance of pre-order dates. So it may be an attempt to rebuild bridges and trust in that area.

I hope so as they damaged their reputation a lot with past behaviour. At the end of the day whether selling through Website,. their own stores or through independent traders the fact remains that they are still selling product and giving us plastic addicts more options on where and how to buy.

I doubt it. This kinda thing just happens sometimes.
Anecdotal evidence: I was breaking open my Age of Darkness box a full five days before the official release date. My FLGS gave me a call they got my copies, I picked them up, and was content building marines. Imagine my confusion a few days later when I hopped onto Dakka and realized I was given almost a week head start of everyone else.

I would advise folks not to discuss their FLGSs breaking street date tho.

On that count? Can confirm my FLGS simply has them on-hand, ready for release date. He’s not fulfilling orders ahead of time.
Anyways. Solar Auxilia.
How about some plakky Charonite Ogryns, GW? They’re ace.

I'd rather see Rapiers and Tarantulas in plastic before the Ogryn. Automated dakka!

I mean, isn't that what would basically happen?
They'd just need a different crew sprue for the Rapiers.

would be less of an issue if gw were a better company ethically.
like f.e. not using FOMO strategies for boxes like the astartes bb and the sa bb...

GW:"Space marines got too many options to balance, therefore we decided to legends HH units."
Players: "why?!? Now we finally got decent plastic kits and you cut them?"
Chaos marines players: "Since when are Daemonengines 30k models and why do i have NO droppods now?"
GW" MONEY.... erm i meant TOO MANY OPTIONS (to resell your army to you again by disalowing former units)! Do you want specific tyranid fighiting Primaris? Even a new sabotage lieutnant!"
Chaos players: Guess i stop playing or go to HH. |
