It depends on if there were still enough left at the event for everyone else who wanted one to get one. If so, then who cares? If not, then that would be quite irritating.

I would be a bit miffed off if they sold out and you could not get your hands on any, especially after they have been advertised.

But, if any FW items sell out at these events on the day, you can order them there and then, and they will send them to you the following week, with no postage cost.

This includes the limited early releases and the Event exclusives.

FW handle the event exclusives much different to how GW do the limited stuff on the web.

Not sure if anyone particularly cares, but my wee group had its baptism of fire last weekend - The Heresy Weekender. (A particularly saintly member picked up £1,000 worth of goodies to be sent to Nerds In Need around the globe!)

As the sole Admin, I've had no reports of deals going south, and it seems things are really working

And off the back of that success, we're knocking 400 members, which I'm dead chuffed with.

Also, looking at arranging a group outing to WW so we can meet each other and get some games in - and of course get the goodies to the geeks!

And the email campaign might've made a difference. No response myself, but I'm happy to report Grak and Crumbleberry in particular (BB star players, WW exclusive) are now 1 Per Customer - so the days of local greedy bellends swiping the entire stock as soon as it's on the shelves seems to be over.

It does put a bit of a dent in the group's overall effectiveness of course - we're still 1 Per Customer after all. But given I tend to do long weekends in Nottingham when I go, I can get three per visit, and I'm not the only one making the Nerd Pilgrimage into a City Break

And because we remain Carey-Sharey at heart, membership is always open (and it really is time I created a request spreadsheet or something to keep track of who wants what)

I did my part! Bought a battletome and was offered dice hidden behind the counter as the shop I went to will only sell to people buying the book they go with (and only one set). I have no use for em, and even though I knew I could have scalped em online, I told the guy to save em for the next guy, cuz I'm not gonna scalp my fellow gamers.

Yay!

Little acts like that do help!

Which reminds me. I've got those Thousand Sons dice stashed away. Got various parties asking for them in my group - rather than fastest first, reckon I'm gonna do a competition type thing.

Already I've given away the Knight Scion on Foot (Banner Design compo), and the 25th Anniversary Marine (250th member draw)

To me, its stuff cluttering up my flat. Stuff I'm never to build or paint. To others, a personal Grail Item.

GW have now started one item/order for the new Stormcast limited stuff so far. Possibly a response to community annoyance at the limited quantities selling out so quickly in recent releases.

What with the BB Halfling problem, I'd hope so.

As for the various pricing discrepancies, GW are having trouble getting a box of "Gangs of Commoragh" sent to a GW store. I only ordered it as it is cheaper to get that than two of the DE jetbike kits. It's their fault, and bad timing with the Eldar campaign book out just afterwards. "Gangs of C" not LE or anything, so yet another stocking cock-up.

Just wanted to give the group a thumbs up. A gent is being kind enough to pick me up a limited Alfrid from WHW this week. Good karma all round.

Huzzah!

Should, in theory, have a Grak and Crumbleberry this week meself. Which is nice!

I had a guy send me Grak and Crumbleberry for cost and shipping. It was much appreciated. Somewhere a scalper cried.

Group is working really nicely

Now it's off the ground, lots of people giving props to their Heroic Resin Dealers

And with Tournament/Convention season getting underway, it's a great time to join us!

Smol update to the group rules

Following a bloody good point, the group now caters for all Wargames, on account there's absolutely no good reason it shouldn't

Thousand Sons dice are still on the shelf in my local, must b a regional thing!

Which store is that, and how many sets?
