Hey everyone, not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but last night the owner showed of my FLGS showed me that all of the finecast bit packs that came out with the Chaos release a few weeks back are on backorder. Not a week or two, it says 8-9 weeks. This completely shafted my plans, as I had ordered a pack of the thousand sons, as well as a full set of noise marine bits.

This would go with the rumor that we are supposed to be getting full plastic kits, but this is just poor on GW's part...

If it had anything to do with plastic kits for Thousand Sons/Emperor's Children, they wouldn't have made a Finecast bitz pack in the first place.

Sure they would have, even if it was just a say a limited run to move kits with the initial couple of weeks of the new codex's release.

Or it could simply be that the UK didn't get a chance to send a proper quantity out to the other regional HQ's and thus, the supply itself outside of the UK is severely limited and got sold out pretty quickly.

You have to remember, they also made the Raptors into finecast, and they now have a plastic kit.

I'm sure this has happened with other kits, as well.

Although I echo your optimism, that would be an uncannily short run. It could be that they're going to keep the bits as a supplement to the new Kits, but that would be rare for GW.

8-9 Weeks is unacceptable.
