It's not down, it's just loading too slowly. Just refresh it - had to do it two times during my purchase.

It was down for me, showing "website is currently down for maintenance" message. It doesn't matter though. I was going to check the availability of limited edition Cursed City novel but I can live without it. I ordered the game itself through FLGS earlier this week and they confirmed that they should be getting enough copies.

I hope that everyone who was looking to get one in the first wave got their chance! I wouldn't be surprised if there was a second print announcement within couple of days.

Oh boy, had flashbacks to the SoB relaunch box for a bit there But order placed and confirmation mail received

Element seems out of stock so will leave it for a few months - no hurry

Hmmm, Element is showing in stock for me. Firestorm Games offer the same discount and have always been super reliable for me.

Happy hunting everyone.

Yeah, showing 5 left. Perhaps they’ve sifted multi-orders from the same IP/Device and put the stock back up?

Slipped an order in there with OnTableTop, had good experience with them earlier in the year and always happy to keep business on the island

As much as I'd like to get my hands on this one, I figured that doing the pre-order server crash dance just wasn't worth it and I'll wait for restocks. At least with this one we know it's not a limited run, just a limited initial stock. Congrats to everybody who managed to get a copy!

It was 10+ for me at the time, but does appear to be sold out of their initial allocation now. If only GW offered solid numbers of units printed after a sell out like this, but I understand why they do not.

Unavailable on the site for me - even with a refresh

Usually go with Dark Sphere, but they popped up a Cursed City "sold out" banner immediately at 10. Didn't seem like it ever went up.
Bought direct from GW, shame the key isn't chocolate.

If you don’t want the key, I’ll give you £15 for it?

After a bit of a struggle I managed to order mine off Wayland Games.
Whether or not I got part of the initial batch is the question, but at least I'll get it eventually.

I will be ordering it when it comes into normal stock. I have enough to paint right now and have better things to do than going through a refresh dance.

The guy at the shop told ne he couldn't confirm if I was getting the key. But, if I do, I don't want it for anything, so postage and it's yours.

You’re a star!! Thank you

Yeah website issues and now all gone.
As expected.
I’m assuming that’s that for getting the key which I would have liked.
No rush to get an order now, so shall await a restock etc.

If this doesn’t work out you can have mine.

Cheers both

Plenty of first impressions/unboxings have popped up on youtube now, so if anyone is dying to see whatever datasheet your favorite hero has then now's the time. Overall I have to say that everything in there seems really nice and both videos I glanced at had the people really impressed with the board tiles and noted that they felt like high quality and the colours were nice and bright.

GW so need to change...

Advertising this game for months, showing info, models, background, etc etc.
Then it's available for those that happen to be online for 30 mins?

Whoever works for GW in charge of supply really needs to learn something. Back in the late 90's and early 2000's. Any game they released you could get. Months later if you got a friend into the game, they could go get their own copy. Now it's rather pointless trying to get friends interested. Everything is limited edition.

I realise the white knights will say it will be back, but then, will the expansions when they're released? Or will they be limited editions? I know GW bean counters will say it's a huge success as it sold all stock in 30 mins, but if they'd made more, they'd have sold way more too and have loads more happy customers/wallets. I know 'covid' excuses will pop up too, but this has been happening long before covid. I can't imagine it's a plastic sprue making issue in house either, it will all be down to GW too scared to order too many books/boxes/printed bits from China. They'd rather under order than over order.

Prices aside, it really sucks to be a GW gamer these days.

EDIT: And for the record, GW's site say it is no longer available online. No email me when it returns. As far as anyone going to the website sees, it's come and gone.

I managed to get a set from GW, if it comes with a Key I'll be happy to sell it on.

Saw someone post a pic of the KO hero assembled unpainted - it looks like a fantastic miniature, really looking forward to seeing all the minis.

Wow The Outpost were doing a customer lottery for pre-orders!

I want this but not that desperately, hopefully I won't get burnt by a production run that has woefully under-anticipated the demand for the game!

I don’t think they necessarily under estimated.
But obviously difficult times, and falling behind from production and all that may have played a part.
(Can’t use that excuse forever of course).

And we know this has been very popular.
So they could have made double some of the other boxes in anticipation, and still sold out.

The real question is how quick they can get on with more being ready for release..

The stats are, unsurprisingly, largely trash, as is the case with most of non-AoS products that get AoS warscrolls.

You're not the target demographic. Whales that are willing to drop hundreds of pounds at the drop of a hat are. Gotta hype them up so they froth and fight to preorder asap, it's the same nonsense as in sneaker industry.

Oh? Is this a general 25% off, or specific to Cursed City?

And more importantly, where?

Wargamers Hub. It's a mob in Queensland that does 25% off pre-orders.

Don't go running now. As I said, they sold out of their allotment in 2 minutes.

Ah, cheers. Got mine anyhow, but still good to know for future reference.

Sold out on webstore.

Commencing next price hiking milestone.

Also firewood stake isn't a range attack in AoS rule. awesome.

Oh, it sucks to hear they're bad in AoS I guess.. On the other hand, I hate that the daedolosus is an autotake for admech and he's just some weird dude that certainly shouldn't pop up in every single admech battle. However, I just meant their stats were available to view within the actual Cursed City game itself.

No I didn't :( Just got an email saying I missed out.

Still stock at a few 3rd parties, happy hunting

Genuinely quite surprised at the rate this has sold but hope it shows GW there's plenty of life in fantasy games with normal mortals in relatable settings
