My local store is supposed to have them in by the end of the day, though I half-expected to have seen an announcement by now either on the store's forums or on Facebook.
Ironically, my local store STILL has not received WI 292, which is the issue that has a section detailing the changes between V2 and V3...

I got mine from my store a couple days ago.
They things a very well put together, full color and thick! I was very pleased and completly ecstatic with the quality.
Only issue I have with my book is that the binding is a little weak, pages 162-173 are falling out :(

Yeah... people have been complaining about the binding on the official forums. I don't know how widespread the issue is, but there's enough of it to get noticed.
If you're not planning on getting the hardcover, then you may want to think about getting the mini version bound.

My Das Book is still fine. I haven't had any problems with it. Nor has anyone in my local group.
BF has had complaints about their soft-cover books in the past (though personally, the only book that's started to fall apart on me is my copy of Fortress Europe), though lately it looked as if they'd gotten things under control. Hopefully the issues with the V3 mini don't indicate a return to past problems.

My group got ours this past Saturday. On all of them the binding started to come apart. Granted, it's like 4 books. I've been scouring the BF forums to see if anybody else has had similar issues but wasn't able to locate those threads.

I'm guessing you meant www.firestormgames.co. uk ? - Thanks for the link though.
I tried the earlier post to the warstore but it's US based and for the mini rulebook with a cheap BF blister they wanted 20 dollars to post to the UK. Ouch.

Hopefully mine will be in at my FLGS on Friday.
I'm fully expecting to need to bind it though. Hells Highway, FE, River of Heros, Cobra...I don't think I own a softcover BF book where the pages aren't coming out. Even my Eastern Front book is pretty iffy on the binding.

Maelstrom are also doing the "buy FOW, get mini" deal too.

And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all" Mario Savio |

DOH!!!!!!!!!! Cheers. I've just heard the 3 main books are bit flimsy, and a good source and friend of mine told me to get it hardbound as they are not true hardbounds. Not sure if I believe him, but he's been right in the past.

Correct. I did just that. If you tip it over a tenner its post-free as well.

Maelstrom Games are running a similar deal. I orderd a couple of tanks destroyers that I’ve been meaning to get for some time but just hadn’t gotten round to ordering. Seeing this offer was just what I needed to motivate me into getting my order in. Mine order is currently in the ‘packing’ stage. Hopefully it should turn up in the next few days.

Thanks guys, I just ordered a blister of Nebelwerfers I have been eyeing up for a while from Maelstrom. Look forward to getting my mini rulebook and then having it spiral bound! Should last longer then the v2 one did.... Automatically Appended Next Post: Does anyone know what is happening with the Open Fire starter set? I guess the "giveaway" of v3 mini rules suggests they are not going to do another starter set....

BF indicated in one of their videos that another starter set would be forthcoming. We don't have any further information, though.
The "giveaway" of the V3 rules is similar to what they did when they updated from V1 to V2.

Just got mine and I must say, the amount of photos are making me cry that I have to go to work. This is exactly what I expect to see in a rule book: photos and lots of diagrams. Can't wait to get my first game in this weekend.

They best fix this "falling apart" issue then. People are not going to be happy when they have paid for the book instead of got it for nothing.
