Yeah my local FLGS sold out in less than 2mins, so they likely got 1 or 2 max... I also noted Element and Darksphere had already sold out, so figured I wasn't going to run around chasing the scraps and brought direct at GW in case they stock out, saved P&P money if nothing else.

For sure! I plan on doing just that myself as well, bought IttD when S2 launched and will get Soulshackle as my second terrain kit just because I like the new extra gubbins (I bet rules for breaching ship walls will be coming to AoO as well down the line).
For even more gubbins, you can get the Shadowvaults addon sprue, then you'd basically have all the options released so far

GW definitely avoiding anyone who bought the 40K terrain set feeling ripped off this season, because Killzone Gallowdark is £90! (Killzone Moroch was £67.50...)
Oh damn you with your FOMO hehehe! I wasnt going to order Soulshackle just yet, but your "sold out" panic posts made me pull the trigger. Ars Manufactorea & Shadowarrior.pl both still have stock if you need some in the EU region (both sell -25% off RRP)
In hindsight, I should have just bought everything from GW direct; splitting up my purchases this way (had to order the Shadowvaults sprue from GW b/c "direct only") made me lose all the discount value in extra shipping costs. I was supposed to be buying Soulshackle much later, in order to spread out my spending.. But whatever.

Sorry! If it helps, I wish that I could remove my own FOMO
I think it's just because Shadowvaults sold out so fast, people are still thinking the same will happen with Soulshackle. I'm not convinced it will, but eh, can't really afford to be wrong this time..
.. unless it turns out that Gallowfall was the real "Moroch" box of this season (ie best value)
I have to give credit where it's due - KT21S2 has been a home run for GW marketing

Soulshackle sold out in approximately 35 minutes on the UK site, I'm guessing that it's only a matter of time before it sells out for other regions?

So it seems. Now I don't feel dumb about pulling the trigger, in fact the opposite!
Kind of crazy.. I think even the Kasrkin box didnt sellout this fast?
The thirst for Arbites must be great indeed

That’s part of it but this box also has different terrain (board and walls) and some really interesting scatter terrain, so the value proposition vs. the previous box which was the starter but with different teams and no dice is much different.

Interestingly, he was only given a digital version of the Campaign book.. Is GW changing their promo copy policies?
EDIT: Apparently, Ash couldnt get a copy because of shipping SNAFUs? Because CanYouRollACrit seems to have his preview copy...
EDIT2: Shipping SNAFUs confirmed - even CURAC didnt get his box on time, and I think he's a UK bloke? Londoner, was it?

It seems to be a general move to 15 dice per pack. I don't remember how recently it began, but it's not just Kill Team or those specific teams. World Eaters got a pack with 15 dice. Black Legion got a pack with 15 dice. Expect that going forward this will be the standard.
Nothing really noteworthy, just GW selling you less stuff for more moneys.

To be fair, its the same old terrain and one extra sprue. However, the extra sprue is particularly tasty this time around (called it a "must have" myself when LVO reveals dropped)

Very possible - it's probably also much easier to use some sort of DRM system and catch leakers with digital files than with printed copies.
Ash had the same with the World Eaters codex. It may just be indicative of the current issues with the new warehouse. Not sure if Canada has seen any such issues.

Just stands out here since today they put up 2x 15 packs and 2x 20 packs for pre-order right next to each other!

Are the Kroot and Navy packs new or reissued ones from their boxed set release?
Another thing to consider is that GW has seemingly changed dice makers at least once in the last few years, probably more. Round corners versus pointy ones, plastic tube packing versus plastic tray in cardboard box versus blister packaging. They may have gotten different deals that make fifteen dice to a pack the most lucrative at this time.

• There are plenty of extra options in this kit to add variety – extra heads, multiple build options for each body, and most arm options can be used on any operative.
• You can build build all ten operatives with a shield and maul, or a shotgun.
• The arm joins are flat and the the torso widths are pretty standard – so this kit should be amenable to arm swaps / mining for bits.
• The head connections are reasonably close to new cadian heads. Swaps might require a little bit of clipping.
• Swaps with the Necromunda Enforcers are tough – the heads are different styles and the arm joins are a bit different. It looks feasible to put an Enforcer boltgun on an Arbites model.

They're technically new but were probably meant to release back when ITD launched.
