<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Quality of GW softcover Codexes"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Quality of GW softcover Codexes I just bought the Tau Empire Codex, but because of GW internal marketing decisions, the italian version is only sold with a softcover: I am fine with this, is cheap (33euros instead of 39) and I allways thought hardcover books are for collectors and not for players.
I stored the book in a plastic sleeve inside a bag just for going back home and now the book has allready a crack on a corner.

Just to be clear, this is a picture of the damaged corner of the Tau Empire Codex together with the Champion of Fenris Codex also damaged because has fallen from the library.

How is it possible? I have books and Codexes bought 20 years ago and they are still in almost perfect conditions, and these new looks so weak.
I was not lucky or this is a problem for all softcover publications?

What did you expect though? They're softcovers. Any softcover book could get damaged by random things. A flimsy plastic sleeve mostly just protect things against scratching.

I would like my new book doesn't break half an hour out of the shop just because i put it inside a bag (but with a plastic sleeve). As I said all codexes from 3rd edition to 6th edition were with a softcover and they are in better condition than these two.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/669981/8248956.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/669981/8248956.page GMT Quality of GW softcover Codexes In this way, I only need to bring my iPad with me.

33 euros for a softcover book printed in China that is almost a copy&paste from last edition is not cheap. It's a scam.

In my opinion, codeci are better in softcover than in hardback, but in order for me to buy a softcover codex, it needs to be priced in a reasonable way. 33€ is not reasonable.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/669981/8248989.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/669981/8248989.page GMT
