eBay might have taken the account off them but the listings have auto-renewed, but yeah - I would have expected the account to go down if there was any sort of investigation.

Well either it's a scam to some degree or the guy is in cahoots with an employee.

Using a throw away account so I don't get in trouble:

Yes - at least 2 warehouse staff were working with someone from the rubbish/recycling company (the person who had the ebay listings) to 'dispose of' things they shouldn't have for cash. Management are not happy!

OK, rule 1 of stealing from the warehouse, never take anything that might be missed.
Rule 2 never take anything that only you could have access to
Rule 3 don't try and sell you ill gotten gains where the management can see it

Not that I would know anything about stealing from warehouses mind you...

Whatcha talking bout Willis?? It fell off the truck.

The seller is still operating. A friend ordered the coin yesterday, it arrived today.

Honestly I'm more annoyed that those sales listings indicate that the warehouse had some copies of Blackstone Fortress Ascension left to steal...

If it was stock marked for disposal they could be damaged or misprinted - but who knows what happened at this point?

So other no necromonday :(

I was hoping to see a new miniature

Has anyone noticed that the underhive market is listed as sold out on GW site? Is that it or do you think it will come back. Put off buying it and now am annoyed as only option seems to be escalp postage to me tends to be more than item.

Crap shoot, but I hope it does, I own 3 and maybe want 1 more.

I’ve been wanting to get a Tectonic Fragdrill in preparation for Ash Wastes (abandoned mining settlement ahoy!), but it’s been listed as “no longer available online” for weeks. But it’s still on the website, even though it’s unavailable, so I think it’s waiting reboxing / price increase or just another production run if they’re still having difficulty meeting demand. I wonder if the market will be similar.

Tectonic Fragdrill doesn't exist anymore. It was removed from the recent Genestealer Cult Codex.

Might be worth popping GW an email, though, to ask if it'll be getting a release as a generic terrain piece - as our resident terrain expert, HBMC, is the drill element unique to that kit?

It certainly is. There are two sprues - the drill itself, and the housing/rail system - that only came in that kit.

And like many GW terrain kits (and an increasingly alarming amount of their modular terrain kits), it has vanished into the ether.

It'd be a real shame if the same was true of the NecroMarket.

oof glad I got a drill when I was on my sector machanicum binge.

Next week is Gama expo..looking forward to seeing news!!!

A) that’s annoying and B) weird that they would remove a kit they only just added.

Also, why would they leave it on the website if they weren’t planning on bringing it back?

Has GW announced any planned reveals for Gama on social media? Considering the expo starts three days from now and GW is usually not shy about telling us if we have reveals to look forward to, with the silence so far I'm not sure we can be hopeful of any Necromunda news.

Would be cool if we got something, though.

is it still available in another region? Not certain if they can totally remove something from individual regions separately or if it has to go from the whole website back end at the same time

edit: no thats not it as it's gone totally from the AUS/NZ region

wonder it it means some GW stores in regions that have it marked as no longer available online have it in stock and they'll only remove it totally when they sell out/return it to GW HQ?

Because I’m pretty sure that the only two genecult players that bought it for their army used it once each then forgot it, just like everyone else.
I hadn’t even realised it was missing until I read this thread today. Everyone else that bought the fragdrill - as far as I can see anyway - got it just because it’s cool lookin’ and/or they wanted to convert the feth out of it.

If I'm not mistaken, GW has two seminars scheduled for Thursday the 17th.

This was what the last GAMA showed:

How far along are they in 9th edition codexes? Maybe they're planning a new Codex Buildings and Such? That's usually an easy filler till the next edition when they start all over.

This really is an alarming trend. I am even aware of this when I embark on a project and create plans to buy X of the and Y of that in the fastest way possible. But since Im not made of money, I cant just buy this all at once, and I invariably end up half way through a project unable to buy these kits unless I go to scalpers. The moment these things go OOP, the ravening hordes of opportunists just buy this stuff wholesale and just sit on it. Artificial scarcity is a damn crying shame.

I cant wait until I have the space for a #D printer. Im so sick of GW's gak, and the gak of those who linger on their coattails like parasitic colostomy bags. Its really damn hard to give GW money sometimes without throwing money at them as I am trained by their marketing to.

Yeah. This is why I'm basically given up on buying GW terrain.

I was able to pick up a fragdrill and market pre-price increase 2 weeks ago.
But ya the fragdrill looks gone…
The market unfortunately I only picked up 1 kit and might want at least 2 but we will see if they bring it back. I’m assuming it will be since they gave it an increased price.

Yeah, I was pretty busted up about the Fragdrill.

I was going to kitbash the drill to deploy it from a Chimera chassis as a sort-of Admech excavator.

I hate that GW doesn't properly use the "Last Chance to Buy" feature on their site consistently. Everything that's not a limited release product by definition SHOULD go to "Last Chance to Buy" before it disappears.

That's also how I got shafted out of the BSF Dread Ambull expansion- which makes me angrier than the Frag Drill.

Element Games has it marked as due for restock on the 23rd March. This may be reason for hope. Or it might just be setting up for more disappointment

Fingers crossed!

Sometimes stores like Element can get late stock so its gone from GW but its still in the "system" of distribution. Esp in the last year or two where delivery and shipping has all been rather a mess.

That said the problem with "Last Chance" is I'd wager some choices GW makes on what does and doesn't return are made when it runs out of stock or after; not before. So staff never know to tick the button.


Heck because of how the site works some things would end up there even if they are being replaced with just a different box or cover art.



Forgeworld is even worse


It's honestly baffling considering how much of the product production that GW controls in-house; that they cannot be more transparent and up-front about what is staying; what is going; what is going on a short holiday ;what is vanishing now and might return in the future etc....

No I'd wager that it's oop and any orders placed through Element will not be fulfilled - I found in the past that they often used to say they had stock coming when they didn't, like a few other GW retailers. Civitas Imperialis also died unnoticed a few months back, though I imagine fewer people in this thread would mourn that loss (not me I liked that kit)

Also, whether or not the overseas production actually gets fulfilled or not.
