It looks like GW is adding some additional items to encourage pre-orders through their website.

No. I've never really cared for the various coins they have done. The bag and objective markers are a nice touch, but I already have some anyway.

I live in central London, and don't have a FLGS. The objective markers are nice, but I don't want the box, and actually don't need anything GW are selling at the moment (hint: ARCHON ON BIKE....plastic Mandrakes).

My FLGS is normally the GW store in the city. Ran by like the most awesome guy you could ever want in a retail store manager. My only disappointment is his kiosk is down (for COVID) so I have to web order from home... which even if I get it delivered to his store it only gives him a % of the purchase towards his sales. So this is just 100% bonus swag on top of whatever I was already going to have to do.

No discount at mine, but I'm happy to get them every penny right now to keep them alive.

Ooh, objective tokens....

Things I can make at least as well with about 5m of effort. And still enjoy the discount I enjoy at my local shop.

I think if they were metal objective tokens (like that set they had a while back) I'd be tempted

No.
I'd rather companies spend more resources on products and not on tchotchke junk that will just be dumped in a drawer or box.

Not just GW, but the various games, computer, comics industries need to stop filling landfills with throw-away trash in hopes that it will bring in just one more customer. If you don't pay to produce this crap, you don't need the handful of customers this stuff attracts.

Efficiency is the highest virtue.

Ditto what most others have said that prioritizing ordering from my FLGS is important right now who offers a discount.

Any other place and time......still wouldn't be bothered ordering from GW directly for these freebies as they don't offer a compelling value to me to forsake the discount I typically get by pre-ordering through my FLGS.

It really is a "token" effort to drive sales to their website.

Though I wonder why they think they need to do that if the scarcity part has been played up by it it being a limited time only offer and the limit on 3 per order. That would seemingly be enough incentive to place orders directly through the website to secure your order.

No. I'd not only rather support my FLGS but I'd also like to actually get it on the 25th rather than a week later.

The added items are not interesting enough for me to give up:
- buying from my FLGS
- getting a discount from my FLGS

Custom40k Homebrew - Alternate activation, huge customisation, support for all models from 3rd to 10th edition

Designer's Note: Hardened Veterans can be represented by any Imperial Guard models, but we've really included them to allow players to practise their skills at making a really unique and individual unit. Because of this we won't be making models to represent many of the options allowed to a Veteran squad - it's up to you to convert the models. (Imperial Guard, 3rd Edition)

No - I already have many nicer objective markers, the coin doesn't interest me in the least and I prefer to support my local FLGS.

No. I want to support my FLGS where I play my games. They also give me a discount and no sales tax, and I'll be able to pick it up the day it's released unlike the mail order from GW since the virus hit. I don't want to wait an extra week or two for my box!
