There's one for AOS, and a slightly cheaper one for 40k. Does anyone recall what was included in last year's supply drops?

Oh wow, I bought two(?) of these when they did it last time, I was very happy with what I got. As I recall each type was limited to one per person.

Is it just for the USA this time?

I remember the usual suspects on Dakka saying how terrible the value would end up being. They were wrong.

I bought the 40K one, got value. A Knight, two Scout Boxes, and two Primaris Characters (Khan and Shrike iirc). Sold the Knight and Scouts for a profit, kept the characters for kitbashing. Worth my while.

IIRC the value of the kits was around twice retail.

I'm not seeing them on any of the GW sites though?

If you do a google search it pops up on the Australian site for A$ 205.
Switching directly to the uk site breaks it.

Any chance of a link?

Not the Australian site, the New Zealand site

Now available in Aus

Will these be dropping on the US site and do we know when?

I remember a lot of people being disappointed with the AoS and Underworlds ones mostly being accessory tat.

The 40k ones were pretty okay I think?

Last page of the previous thread on this has the contents of the AUS and UK boxes: https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/510/790752.page#10895523

They were described as 'Imperium' themed then, now they just seem to be '40k', so I expect there'll be more of a random mish-mash of factions.

40k one is sold out in Aus

Do these just go live at 12am in respective areas?

12am EST for U.S. I'm guessing?


[Edit] Japan has 4 different boxes: AoS Aelves, AoS Grand Alliance, 40k, and Underworld.

Sound interesting. Maybe I’ll take a plunge if the Uk shows any

They're up on the UK. But dangerous apparantly, so they must contain spray or tools or something?


Didn't bother coming up with a non-Underworld-logo picture for the AoS box, huh?

Spoiler:

I had the 40k one in the basket to buy but didn't want to purchase additional random extras for the sakes of it so bailed.

Yeah it wouldn't let me check out unless I'd added something else. Luckily I needed more Khorne red anyway so it was an easy fix.

Fingers crossed for something Khorne-y to go with it!

GW clearing out all the old Berzerkers!

We didn't get the Warcry or the Aelves one in Australia, which is annoying because I would have grab the Warcry one straight away. Also they weren't dangerous so must be something different to the UK ones.

A Warcry one I’d get as I have nothing for Warcry.
But that isn’t a box

40k one is out already.

Hah. It wasn’t available, I took the dog for a walk, and now it is sold out

I wanted to grab one but had to choose something in addition because of the "dangerous product" warning. In the meantime it sold out ...
Maybe that's a good thing and I can invest my funds into something I actually need

Shame we didn’t get the Aelves box in Australia, I’d have grabbed that in a hot second.

Personally I feel like the Underworld set might be the best one to randomly get as you'd get "functional" blocks of models in there that you could pair up with random cards for some casual fun in the game.


But overall the other 3 are too broad in categories for my tastes to gamble on the contents. If there was a Xenos one for 40K I might go for them (necrons, tyranids and smatterings of genestealer cultists and eldar and I'd have a fairly good chance of getting stuff I could use).

A Death Grand Alliance one would also work out pretty neat

Problem with the Underworlds box is they might still include the old teams which don't have any cards. Seen folks saying it is classified as a 'dangerous' item at the checkout so it probably has a spray can taking away some of the value.

If you think that getting 40k models for half price is "pretty okay"...well, I guess you're a bit of a glass half empty kind of guy

I mean, isn't that better than or equal to trade price?

The underworlds one was listed at the time as being models and accessories, so they made that clear?

GW defo can't please everyone, but from your comments they can never please you.

Hm, tempted. But the rational side of my brain keeps telling me for £75 i could get three or four boxes of stuff i actually want rather than trying my luck on a loot box.

How does one "sell out" of a box filled with random stuff?

It's 'okay' because unless you're someone who only buys to paint it's kind pretty so-so if you're getting stuff you're not interested in or don't collect. Yeah you can sell it on but so is everybody else who bought the box. Plus the value is against full RRP rather than the 10-20% you can get from discounters which hurts it somewhat.

They made nothing clear. You could have got a deck box and everything else be models. Or it could have been entirely tat except for one model. Not being clear is kind of the point of these loot boxes.

But I'm sure GW could literally defecate in the box and you'd thank them for it.

They're not truly random. Every box in a region/country gets the same contents. It's just they're already expected to sell out or pulled from sale before people get them and can 'spoil' what is inside.

Because this is a physical product not a digital product of course.

That of you've been at the new years celebrations far too long and need some water and rest to let your mind recover
