Generally, should be no problem. If I remember correctly, you can take in any current range GW product for exchange if it's still in the packaging, and swap for anything else. And damaged product is always exchanged. I routinely take in damaged GW product and swap it out from what I have in the store, and GW always reimburses me. Doesn't matter if someone bought it from me, a GW store, or from somewhere online.

I'm pretty sure that you can return them directly to GW, even if you did buy it online?

Absolutely. I once saw an Ebay auction for a bunch of sealed GW product that went for something like 45% off the retail price. I bought it, then brought it all into a local GW to exchange for stuff I actually wanted.

Win!

I still stand by my 'non professional' review of the plesin (hehe, plastic resin) carnosaur, that i think finecast appears fine for larger monsters.

It's almost like the standard infantry/special characters have such small details that the molds don't seem to handle it well. Larger monsters don't normally have that much fine detail on them (ie. scales are larger, teeth are larger, etc) so they maybe cast easier?


*shrug*

I am staying away from finecast for now, but I'll still happy my carnosaur was fine

lol, years? I'm not going to wait years for GW to get this right...hell, they shouldn't have even rolled this crap out at all if they don't know how to cast them properly.

Well, sure. I still don't understand why people get so enraged about this topic. It's not like GW sells water and is the only source for it. If someone doesn't like the stuff they are selling he doesn't have to buy it.

You don't have to read such threads and comment in them.

We're not very big on official rules. Rules lead to people looking for loopholes. What's here is about it.

Presumably because they liked the miniatures and wanted to buy them in metal. Now they can't. A large portoin of a range of miniatures that they like are likely to be miscast and at a higher price to boot. It's really not surprising that they're angry, nor is it entirely unjustified.

Calm down. I'm in no position to tell them not to do so, I just said I can't understand it and would like to know their reasons.

You didn't just say that.

Your query comes over as a somewhat insulting statement about people's state of mind of which you disapprove.

So is there actually anything new being talked about in this thread anymore? Are they selling finecast or not?

No, nothing new. They will sell it again at some stage, I'm sure.
