Hatchette have always had a weird business model where they restrict the weekly/fortnightly newsagent release to the UK/Ireland and then back issues/mail order is only UK and for some reason excludes Ireland. I don’t know if this is some weird licensing issue or because they like turning away business?

The cost of postage to Ireland rather than the UK for individual issues rather than a trade delivery via a newsagent supply chain?


If Hachette won't do back issues, do Forbidden Planet deliver? They never let me down for extrai issues I ordered. Additionally, they offered z discounted price per issue and free postage.

Never heard thought of Forbidden Planet, could be an option for back issues. Postage from the UK is fairly reasonable, or at least has been until Brexit but Hatchette have been like this for years for all their products.

Forbidden Planet won't ship to the EU at present due to Brexit. They have also upped the shipping charges substantially to Ireland 1 issue of Mortal Realms is £7.59 plus £12 postage 2 issues is still £12 shipping but 3 issues jumps to £22. They also aren't shipping DDP so you may get stung for Irish VAT as well. With those shipping charges and the extra VAT you're better off just ordering the kit retail unless it's an exclusive or limited release.

EU & International Customers
We're very sorry, unfortunately we are currently unable to accept and ship orders to the EU or internationally at the present time. We are working with our shipping carriers get this resolved as quickly as possible.

Please be aware that when a package is delivered within the EU or internationally, it may be subject to import taxes, customs duties, and/or fees imposed by the destination country such as handling fees. The customer is responsible for paying these fees and we cannot verify what they will be prior to shipping.

Not surprising. Getting stuff from the UK is pretty much impossible right now, I still don't have my DG codex because according to the vendor UPS is unable to get their shipment from GW through customs.
Multiple stores even refuse to accept orders for companies located in the UK (including GW) unless they have the product stocked.

I've had a GW order held up in a German warehouse for about 3 weeks. Fairly frustrating.

There is a Forbidden Planet store in Dublin though, so it might be possible to get it through them directly

The Dublin store is Forbidden Planet International rather than Forbidden Planet, actually a different company nowadays (They split in the early 90s). FP international no longer do online or mail order sales unfortunately.

Its possible they could be trying to bring the magazine series to America, apparently in June and July last year they ran a very limited 4 issue Conquest series to test the waters in the US.

I think it might've mostly only been available in Illinois though, the only information I've found about it are a handful of Reddit posts from people who brought the magazine and some Facebook posts from a comic book chain store called 'Graham Crackers Comics' that said they have issues 1-4 in stock at their mid west stores.

Here's the thank you letter which came from issue 4 that was posted on Reddit, the free gift for proving you brought all 4 issues was the 40k art book from Conquest.

The problem with the USA is that the company basically has to scale up from doing one or two countries right now to doing the USA which is many many countries in size compared to the UK. So the amount of stock, logistics and all are very big and that's before you consider that not only are they aiming for general market, but the current GW market there will likely go nuts for them too .

plus a bunch of state law you might not know about,

like whether you have to complete a run of a serial product once you start, or if you have to accept returns if you don't

in the uk they can just shrug and leave you with part of a Ferrari or Titancic kit you can never finish if it stops being profitable

i'd imagine the states are similar as legistation seems to favour business over consumer, but unless they've got experts in all states they just won't be certain (and as we see from GW specifically excluding some regions/states from competitions sometimes local law can be a real pain to comply with)

Yeah plus as GW has to produce all the model stock I can't see them doing that this year of all years. Perhaps on a normal year without corona restrictions and such.

It looks so much less professional than any correspondence I received from Hachette here.
Like their US wing is just one guy formatting his letters on Word.

Sounds like a business opportunity for people on both sides of the Irish border to do mailbox services for people living on the other side who want goods not easily available on their own sides. We've got a lot of those in Washington (or had, before COVID closed the border for BC residents who liked to buy stuff online in the US. None on the Canadian side of the border for Americans though, because there's literally nothing you can buy in Canada that you can't find in the US cheaper unless you have a strange hankering for ketchup-flavored chips (crisps).

Those services exist but are now looking difficult to maintain with the new import/export regulations. To run officially anyway!

The mailbox provider doesn't have to deal with exporting if users drive over the border to pick stuff up.

For me it was usually well worth a 30 mile round trip over the border because I could also go down on empty and fill up on that cheap, delicious subsidized US gasoline without needing to pay the 15c/liter spite tax that's levied on Metro Vancouver (ostensibly to discourage people from driving - which it might if the public transit here wasn't pitiful and the gas being so cheap not so far away actually encourages more driving on my part).

Gw at least seems to have　figured how to do it now. Slaaenesh stuff came on time so seems dg was outlier

edit: And DG finally arrived in Finland.

Tested? As it shouldn't work. Same procedures there. Just extra country to go through and more vat paperwork

If you drive and if you want to be in the car for a couple of hours just to save some money on some parcels. (Also, fuel is way more expensive over here, you'd be paying the difference in petrol I reckon!)

Someone will come up with a solution but I don't think collection points along the border will be the answer here.

It appears Hachette have now removed Warhammer Conquest from their website.

Even more of an indicator that Imperium is coming?

Seems so now yeah.
And a much better post to come see. Every time I come here I think it’s more news about the new mag, and it’s just conversation about Conquest or shipping to countries etc

Nice one. Thanks for the heads up.

So another test run at first or has it already started?

Looks like I'm getting more cheap plastic!

Has the Sisters of Battle and Ad Mech icons as part of the logo, so looks like it could be a little more varied than last time.

Two pounds extra per issue for Premium. I wonder what's in the premium version this time. Conquest's was pretty terrible, while Mortal Realms' was good value.

That's something I'll be waiting to see before paying for the premium sub.

Anyone signed up yet? I can't find anything online other than the link Aeneades provided.

I signed up, which is how I received the image in a confirmation e-mail. The e-mail doesn't contain any other information though.

Warhams-77 found the original link which I used to sign up.

http://warhammer40000imperium.com/ has now changed from a test site to a maintenance message so may also be launching soon.

Hmm Primaris might JUST have me able to avoid this. However I'm concerned about Ad Mech and Sisters appearing in the logo. Will just have to wait until we get confirmation of what its all going to be for me.

Interesting that they only show Ultramarines, Admech and Sisters in the logo but also have Necrons here, so maybe the Indomitus sprues for the first issues and other Imperium stuff after that?

This isn't available in the U.S. correct?

So far hachette　availability in　us been　non-existant(generally rare outside uk in general) so odds are this won't be exception
