You obviously haven't seen these boxes. I have.
Bald heads recommend are not a bad thing when the sprues are heads that are the only thing different in the IG figure box. They need variety between the two boxes when you are already shelling out well over 70 bucks, chief...
By the way, I saw this today. I might have to pimp my ride...

At Games Workshop, we believe that how you behave does matter. We believe this so strongly that we have written it down in the Games Workshop Book. There is a section in the book where we talk about the values we expect all staff to demonstrate in their working lives. These values are Lawyers, Guns and Money. |

What, I imagined the 70 Cultists I built yesterday? Jeez, they seemed so real. Thanks for letting me know I haven't seen them.

Anyone already have one of those Limos? What is the size of that thing?

Or that there's another wave of releases coming with Aberrants.

On Facebook it specifies they sold out. Not more stuff is coming. I hope this success of the GSC will lead to Kroot, Demiurg, and new Xenos races.

From Facebook. Thanks for pointing it out Gamgee. Woah, so it turns out you guys love the Genestealer Cults. So much so that loads of models in the range are already sold-out online in locations across the world! If you're trying to get hold of some for yourself, your local stores may still have some on their shelves, so it's well worth checking if that's the case. If not, don't worry, our universally shaven-headed workforce are already working with suspiciously agile dexterity on another wave of the creatures, so you won't be waiting too long for a re-stock. Stay posted for news. You can check out the full range of Genestealer Cult models here, and grab what's left: https://goo.gl/28UYKI

Agies Grimm:The "Learn to play, bro" mentality is mostly just a way for someone to try to shame you by implying that their metaphorical nerd-wiener is bigger than yours. Which, ironically, I think nerds do even more vehemently than jocks.
Everything is made up and the points don't matter. 40K or Who's Line is it Anyway?

I'm not surprised they are so popular, in my local GW everyone is collecting them haha (me included  )

Bye bye Dakkadakka, happy hobbying! I really enjoyed my time on here. Opinions were always my own :-) |

They out sold Deathwatch and even some of the DW models were sold out but not as badly as this. New GW seems to be seeing a lot of success with its turn around.

I'm not surprised. Even in my local area with 4 people collecting them and making the majority of our models out of DWOK most of us have still needed around a dozen boxes of models. So I can only imagine how many people who didn't grab lots of DWOK halves are buying.
Average force feels like around 130 (depending on vehicles and genestealer count) for 1500-1850 with most armies I'm hearing hitting around 175. So that's a lot of boxes that needed to be made/sold.
Either way I'm glad to hear they are selling out. Hopefully the run (which I hope was decently sized) encourages them to keep writing solid books with solid model releases.

I've been watching the bits sellers, since I'm already sitting on a ton of painted old models and can tweak those for most of my needs. And it's really only the UK bits shops that are stocking anything. It would appear that the bits sellers are having trouble getting inventory.

I don't think it's surprising. GW mentioned earlier this year to investors they were changing their warehousing practices; making less product per production run and running a greater frequency of production run as that smaller supply on hand runs out. The likelihood of kits being temporarily sold out will only be more common now.
