Yes, might have to get this to avoid the inevitable halving. Such a shame they still do that, they should be doubling it, not halving it. It's currently what, 10 for $37.50 since they haven't had the price hike yet, so 5 for $40?

The pricing of this box set might indicate that no such halving will occur. After all, that would make this an even crazier deal ($125 for $215 in minis plus 2 LE minis plus rulebook plus campaign book) which seems unlikely.

I'm guessing 5 for £20, or around $30, putting it at the same price as Death Co, Sang Guard and PAGK

We can hope...

I guess we'll see... Having Stormclaw being 50% or greater off of the individual components would be a crazy good deal.

Let's not forget who we're dealing with here...

I agree though. I don't even play Wolves, but this has got my attention.

With two of these boxes and a few drop pods, my son suddenly has a playable army pretty quick.

A few posts back someone mentioned their store may only get 2 copies, which is a bit concerning if true.

May lead me to believe it will become a "direct buy" type of thing when the store copies run out...

My store can four max!

Please note that allocation is random and strange.

To give an example, my local GW received two boxes of Mega Nobz for this past weekend.
A local independent received 6.

What gets me is that they are making it limited; my FLGS just said they will only receive 4 boxes of it.

The fact they seem to be relying on impulse buys is even more facepalm insane than their typical business practices.

That's four boxes as "general stock" most likely, Wayne.

The shop might be getting initial stock of 4, have a limited window of restocks and then that's it.

Hands up who'd like to see a Sanctuary 101 campaign set, with Sisters and Necrons.

Me for one. While I'm not interested in starting a Sisters army, I've often meant to get a couple of the figures because I like the look of them.

Thing is, if limited run campaign box sets are going to be the New Thing (and I REALLY hope they are), we are going to see some non-Space Marine releases eventually, because the boxes are going to sell out rapidly whoever goes in them.

Space Marines vs Nids
BA vs Necron
GK Vs Daemons
BT vs Tau
CSM vs IG

They can keep going for a while.

Then do Eldar: Kinwars followed by Squats vs Sisters.

I wouldn't mind Alaitoc Eldar vs Necrons either, as according to the 5th ed Necron Codex, Alaitoc craftworld is the only one that remembers the Eldar were created to destroy the Necrons. Similarly, BA vs Death Guard, although vs Black Legion would be a classic grudge match hearkening back to the Heresy. Eldar: Kinwars is good too.

Seems to be working though.

anyone else see they pulled the DV box set from the US online store?

UK too. Just the cultists are listed in that section now.
Expect a price hike, and a 7th rulebook included.

Oh, and can they give over with the 'new releases' being mostly bundles?
I want to know what actual recently-released models and books there are, not 10x tanks and hordes of Boyz.

The limited store copies don't matter if you preorder it though right? Can you only preorder through GW Stores/Online or do regular stores allow you to preorder? Cause if they don't, THEN I can see why the limited ones is an issue with stores.

At my Local GW Store everyone will preorder so sometimes even on limited things he has trouble moving the "store copies" because everyone who wanted one already grabbed theirs in the preorder.

Except Wood Elves... blasted things haven't been on the shelf in months -__-

I don't know if independents can allow you to preorder, but if you do it through GW it is in addition to their store allocation.

Yeah. It's annoying.

Not sure if my lgs can pre-order stuff from gw as they really don't stock much(still going to ask when I go for a game Sunday). Has anyone dealt with pre-orders direct from gw? I've never ordered anything from the website, let alone a pre-order.

If it's going to be a "limited time deal" with limited stock allocation, I suggest trying on Friday if you can swing by your LGS.

Yeah. It's just like preordering anywhere else, except you can get free shipping on small items to a GW store.

They'll announce pre-orders and then it is like buying anything else from a website. Add it to cart and such...

Ok cool. I'll check my lgs Sunday and if they can't get it done, I'll deposit the cash in my bank Monday and go home to order it. The closet GW store to me is almost 2 hours away so I'll have it shipped to my job. I don't trust some of the people at my apartment complex

You could have it shipped to the GW and/or order it through there and then he'll hold it for you until you come to pick it up.

There is supposed to be no time limit as to how long they keep orders there.

I would but its nearly a 2 hour ride each way and with my schedule, that nearly impossible.
ETA: Messaged the owner of my lgs on fb to see if I can order thru him or not.

I can appreciate that. It's what keeps me from going out to buy more Infinity models from one (Not So)LGS.

Not sure if this has already been mentioned, but it looks like the Space Wolf Battleforce has been taken off the store; could be a bug, could be something else, but the link (via Google) goes to a 404 as of 11:30PM EST 7/11/2014.

Likely price hike incoming :(

Darn. That was a really great set, and a great deal. Still, with any luck it'll be replaced with as good a deal as the SM Strike Force box.

I imagine most online retailers will still have them, if they have any in stock, so if you're after one it's worth checking them.

It has been taken off. If you want one now, I suggest getting them.

I doubt there is a price hike but rather you're going to see something like the Mek Mob.

They do seem to be replacing the Battleforces that had a selection of Troops/other to bulk out a force with an entire "army in a box" which, while not a bad idea (SM Strike Force was a good deal I admit) makes them only of use to somebody who doesn't already have that force in most cases, as opposed to being something to add to an existing army, because the boxed armies include HQs that aren't needed once you've bought an army.

I would believe this is the new business model where GW funnels a few product out to the lgs thereby limiting supply that can be purchased for X% off. Thereby creating the demand for the product through their website instead of a continued supply to the lgs.

So since the contents are basically repackages of existing boxed sets instead of snap fit items, will the individual items sell for the same price as now or will people say since they came in the boxed set they should cost less?

And no 'Kaiserslauthern 4' global summer campaing this year mew!
And will the new 'dex thing retain or erase the 'blood feud' rules... where if Dark Angels and Space Wolves are in the same game (friends or foe alike) the best member of each other will duel before the actual game begins. ??? meow~

Seems to fit in with their agenda to shut out the LGS. Throw them a bone to increase demand, and then push things through the GW website or to a GW store instead since you aren't limited in selection.

Anyone knows if Alliance Games will stock this?

I just created a retailer account with them for my comic book shop and I'm wondering if they get all the GW products, in time...
