Picked one up from Element. Initially tried to buy from Darksphere, but their copies are due to be shipped out in an autumn second wave, which I thought was a bit strange.

DarkSphere did a register of interest, so I’m guessing their first wave was all taken up by that.

I got a copy from bad moon. Potentially planning on selling off most of the stormcast to recoup some of the cost.

I wasn’t aware of that. I didn’t get an email from them.

I don’t think anyone did, I just saw it on their webpage a couple of weeks or so ago.

As a note for North American customers:

Seeing as so much of the action finds itself in Ghur right now, the Ghurish Expanse Realmscape* is the ideal destination for your latest battles over the Dawnbringer Crusades’ landmarks, which you’ll find in the new Objective Set.

* Please note, although pre-orders are available today, this product will be delayed in shipping to customers in North America until the 31st of July. All other regions remain unaffected and will ship as usual.

Still available even now, and coins and everything.
It is somewhat surprising.

Are we sure that's not some kind of error on GW's part? Seems... Unlikely.

I think they might just be being honest that they made a lot of inventory. If anything it appears they might have been a bit overcautious with third party retailer inventory, so I wouldn't be shocked if they shift a bit more allocation that way.

Could it be that GW actually learned lessons from Indomitus? I know Cursed City suggests otherwise, but this has been a very smooth launch.

As expected it looks like there will be no digital products for 3rd edition.

It boggles my mind that GW is literally going backwards on this

At 15 copies for a large store this will be fun to try and get one. Why go through all the hype if they are not even going to make it available to order. I am thinking I am getting pretty sick of GW's shinanigans and I might just sell all my AoS stuff while I can make a few bucks on it.

That's kinda an extreme reaction when Indomitus is just a discount boxed set with models that will go on general sale anyway. The only things you miss out on are some objective coins and the cover for the rule book.


Everything else will be 100% exactly the same - models at least will be identical.


How do you cope when the Christmas Bundles go on sale and you perhaps can't afford one and they all sell out?

There's a huge issue in GW doing this ultra limited release tactic. I am hoping this is a function of covid and brexit, but boxes like this were one of the ways for GW to pass savings onto customers. Throttling the numbers of these boxes as hard as they have been doing compared to what they used to do is bad news for consumers. It is a way to raise prices without raising the sticker number (that they have done plenty already)

Still everything in stock in Belgium, and we're close to the end of the day.

Anti-scalper measures worked, clearly. Also I made my order in a GW store and I can confirm there was no queue if you ordered at their laptop. So everyone who wanted his box with the collector medals got them.

Yep, GW made it good for the launch of AoS V3, despite the GW haters wanting to have it otherwise.

Well before there was no domitus　box equilavents for anybody to buy. Starter sets, start collecting, occasional 2 side boxes like the dok/slaanesh.

Ebay hasn’t been flooded with copies of Dominion.

Got onto the pre-preorder list of my local store, so I should be fine. Not sure I even really want it with those weird lanky gitz and proper boyz showing up later for 40k.

But it seems like the queue is gone, so time to check out the 360°.

Queue is up now in the U.S.

Or AoS just isn't as popular as Marines/they actually made loads of copies this time.

I am just glad that those that want a copy, with the funds available to them, seem like they should be able to get one.

Whether it is an indication that GW has poured a lot of resources into making a lot of copies, AOS remains a fair degree less popular than 40k or that the divisive Kruleboys design has put people off getting the set... I do not know. At least the consumer seems to have won one for once.

Webstore is shut in the UK now saying it will re-open soon. At 5:45pm BST? Why?

Same reason everyone else's shut down at each preorder timeframe: to prevent DDoSing taking it all down.

I've been getting the "shut down reopening soon" message in Oz on and off all day / night. It's bloody annoying because I'm not going to be buying the boxed set anyway.

I would agree, or something similar.

I've been checking the queues when they come up and they have been taking down all the sites, or adding the queue page, anywhere from 1.5 hours to .5 hours before a certain timezones release.

I think the webstores are somehow connected and intense traffic on one will slam the breaks on all the others. Last night when I was trying to look at the sculpts on the NZ site, it wouldn't let me touch the UK one either.

My estimated wait time is "more than an hour" this is wonderful.

Pretty sure almost everyone's is. I'd been sitting on the webstore for the morning, signed in, just so I didn't have to muck about later.

"More than an hour" queue time.

I had 3 browers opened, 2 are more than an hour, one is 9 minutes.

All were opened at the same time, lol

That was a good idea. Future me is going to steal doing that. Which browser had only 9 minutes?

Surprisingly, EDGE...

Chrome is in there at 2nd, and Firefox 3rd

I had 4 devices, 2 Safari and 2 Chrome. 1st Chrome said 8 minute wait, the rest all had more than an hour which soon turned into about 10-15 minutes each. All had unique queue ID so no VPN required. Got my copy confirmed!
