I have Space Marine Heroes 3 thanks to the scheme. Top Norwegian operative in Japan helping out us Westerners.

It looks like the artist finished the model and then some manager said hey, you need to add something that will break easily thereby forcing a few thousand parents to repurchase when their kids start crying ... so the artist added that one silly looking tendril drill like a fat middle finger to common sense...

I would grab him just to have another squat. The min is nice. The problem three days to grab him. That won't happen with my work schedule. GW should have used a better marketing tool for him. It's a shame they are using it for bait to get people into their stores.

From what I was told, these will be available to order if stores run out of physical models.

Not sure how that helps if you still have to get to the store to order it...

Didn't say it did. The violin is separate from the other.

I have zero sympathy for anyone who thinks it's "bait". Mad Doc's lootgroup is well known at this point as a thing.

For those of us who are new here - can you explain how this lootgroup works?

It's a facebook group https://www.facebook.com/groups/1710575492567307/

Members help each other out by 'looting' limited edition (and no longer available) stuff at cost prices

If your after something post a want in the group and hopefully somebody will already have what your after, or will be able to get it from a local store

You pay the cost price + P&P + paypal fees

(The group says don't use friends and family even if it is fee free as you loose paypal protection)

if they're looting to order they may want the price of the item or at least a deposit up front


Edit: and no scalping by asking for stuff in the loot group then selling it on, da lootin' godz iz watching

Funny little mini, but... do those mechadendrites feature wine and beer accessories?

I see a cork-screw, the knife thingy I use to cut the foil protecting the cork, and a church-key.

O_O

Well… its not a space marine lieutenant… so I guess that's a win ?

Looks terrible.

Well, I got to my "closest" GW this morning, just as they opened. They had around 30-40 on the shelves and I got the first two.

And some red spray paint.

Anyone have a price for this guy (UK?)

Cheers

Exactly this.

The main reason for no F&F is because some Loot Runs hit four figures. As the founder and professionally a fraud investigator, I like to think I’m trustworthy. But even so, to deter piss takers and back door scalpers, if it’s goods and services, if anyone gets stiffed, they’ve suitable recourse and can get their money back easily.

Smidge of info on models ordered in.

From what my (normally very reliable) local manager says, and models ordered in will first be fulfilled from any remaining warehouse stock.

Once that’s done, they’ll be cast up to order. How long that might take, I dunno. But felt it worth sharing all the same.

25 Euros, and already at $65 on ebay...

Sigh.

Gee, what a shock that feeBay has people overcharging!

Ask on the loot group or something. The model's still available to order until Sunday, assuming stores don't still have stock.

I got the third to last box from my local Games Workshop. Going to bash him with some Sicarian bits to make an Enginseer.
