Sorry I didn't see this anywhere else. It looks like they brought back Space Hulk for a limited time.
It's $150 Canadian.
Sucks to be a re-seller I guess.
I think I might pick it up this time around and see if I can get the 'boss of me' (aka the GF) into playing it.

Again? It isn't listed in the UK store. Maybe is from the last time they did put it to sell again, but in Canada it didn't sold every box?

Dakka does have White Knights and is also rather infamous for it's Black Knights. A new edition brings out the passionate and not all of them are good at expressing themselves in written form. There have been plenty of hysterical responses from both sides so far. So we descend into pointless bickering with neither side listening to each other. So posting here becomes more masturbation than conversation.

I suspect they're returns from GW stores to make room for Necromunda and other new products.

Odd, I just checked the Aus, Can, UK, US stores and it's on all of them except the UK store.

So this is what... the 5th time now that this Hulk edition is available for a limited time?
I mean, it's good that more people get the chance to buy it if they missed out, and it might discourage people from hoarding stuff to resell at inflated prices. But the charade is a bit silly by now.

UK store tends to get updated last - on sundays I generally set it to view New Zealand as they tend to get updated first.

Oh, my. No. That is not happening.
If, as we are likely correct in assuming, these are returns and remainders, that means the original batch(es) never sold through in the first place why on earth would they move a game they can’t sell to a position where they would have to keep making it? Especially since the most expensive parts to produce, once the moulds are paid off, are also the ones with the biggest lead times and batch sizes…

There are like 3 stores near where I live with a copy on the shelf. If anyone wants to pay retail, tax and shipping costs for it, let me know and I’ll snag it for them. Didn’t realize it was even hard to come by this second time around.

The sites tend to update just after 10am on a Saturday morning. New Zealand is first as they are the first timezone to see 10am.

Second?
They've been pulling the 'hey, we found more copies under the couch' gag just about every year since release.
Which is sad, since I bought one of multiple heavily discounted copies 6 months after the original release (since I was working on both 'nid and BA armies at the time).
Nothing ever justified making this a 'limited release' except trying to trick people into buying it under the impression they wouldn't be able to later.

Well since it didn't pop up in the UK store it is probably a few pallets of stock in some of the warehouses abroad
perhaps not 'just rediscover' but rather 'lets give this stuff another go'

Could it also be that distributors purchased stock and then kept that in warehouse and have now sold it back to GW based on a lack of demand?
I can't recall if it ever sold in 3rd party retailers.
And yeah chances are something like this, if they've got stock left over, would spring up around Christmas and the gifting period.

It’s nonwhere near popular enough to be for sale all the time. Despite all the nostalgia for it barely anyone actually plays the game. You can tell that by how many copies they still have.
