You said people are buying them to gloat about. Did you not? That's hostile. That's calling people that buy them arrogant d-bags.

You might as well own it. You said it. Don't play the victim card, man.


As I said, some people want a fancy book for their favorite army. No need to call them out, bud. Why are you so hostile?

I said people will be buying them, not so much to gloat about, but purely to say that they have it, I think he was talking about what I said.

Reading your post then his, I see his context.

Aegis. The error was mine here. I mus-interpreted your post.

My bad.

I would never buy a LE codex especially being in New Zealand its just too damn expensive if someone wants to buy one good for them your money you buy what you want though to me it's just a waste of money plus usually the normal codex cover art is way better well to me anyway

However if I was in the UK instead of NZ I would immediately buying one as the limited edition codex price in the UK is the exact same bloody price as the normal codex in NZ once you convert the money to the right currency well roughly $10 more but still it's absurd considering the price for the normal codex.
Damn lucky UK people

Wow, I don't even...

Lulz aside, I'd totally buy the IG LE codex. It's certainly a lot more but I know what I'm getting and there's really no scam involved.

I bought both the LE and regular version.

I find it funny, people say the LE codex is over priced. The entire GW hobby is over priced. Even buying through a discounter it is still over priced.

So people who are thinking they are smarter than others buying through discount, is still paying over priced.

So it's up to the original poster. All you are getting is a different cover, in plastic or plastic sleeve. Also a number 1-2000. Just rememeber the LE Chaos codex, some people had 2 different numbers that came with their codex, so basically this 1-2000 number means bunk.

I went and ordered a limited edition copy, to me it will be worth it in the long run, once its sold out its gone, its value will double over time.

Is it worth it? To me absolutely yes, Tau are my main army, i love converting, painting and gaming with them. So for me the cost is justified, as i will get a lot of use out of it down the line.

In short, it is the same as everyone else has been saying, it's worth is subjective.
