I couldn't give a hoot about the scenery. I wanted the damn game.

It's very vexing when GW pull this kind of nonsense.

Did this even show up on the USA site?

Not til 10am whatever timezone they run the US webstore on.

That did give me a chuckle but I do wonder just how many idiots have walked into a store and asked for it......
 

[Gibby]

If it truly is Limited Edition and sold out for good then it's a weird step backwards for them. I thought they'd stopped that nonsense. I don't see why you'd do it when you've tooled up the plastic moulds etc!

[Andrew Rae]

The terrain isn't limited. Just the big box.

The poor GW Community team are fielding lots of angst ridden message on Facebook. Looks like the plan was for it to be limited and not reprinted. Though who knows, it might still be reprinted.

Hey guys - we're sorry you missed out on this one - it took us by surprise how popular it was too! The good news is that the terrain will be available separately in the future, and we are looking at making the rules available as a digital download, so you will still be able to play this awesome game. We will have more news on this page as and when we get it.

You have to wonder why they promoted a 'while stocks last' product at an annual trade show.

I had originally assumed it was a way to propel the start of the new terrain line - but that does make me question if the rulebook would be separate later on.  I've no real interest in it at the moment, but I think this "should" have been a genuine GW product - and I'm sure they'll realize the same.

And I missed the pre-order   They confirmed the set will be available on stores on Saturday, the 8th, but not online anymore. They promised that the full rules will be available as an Ebook in a couple of weeks. After all the hype they do this?   It only feeds the Ebay scalpers who will sell the set at exorbitant prices!

Well, they are GW. If they have the opportunity to screw something up, they'll do it.

Considering how many cool things they have released for 40K over the last couple years, we were due for a genuine head-scratcher like this. They'll probably pull a 'We found a few hundred boxes in the warehouse' maneuver like they did with 3rd edition Space Hulk.

I think they won't do something like that again. They keep repeating that the rules will be available as an Ebook and that there aren't plans to do a new edition. And it seems that independent sellers (like Wayland for instance) were only allowed 10 copies. The hate on their FB page keeps rising...

I grabbed a copy in Spanish - it's not my first choice but it was the only one available for me.

Well justified. An ebook isn't the same, and sure the models were crap old ones, but I too thought they were done with the limited edition nonsense. Do they ever learn? NO.

Well, they wanted to create a hype about this game and they seem to have succeeded, even beyond expectations  .
They pulled some legs with the "limited" release of that Canonness, they did the same with their Hobbit Laketown boxed set of 3, and now this... Won't make them many friends, these actions...

Won't make them many friends, these actions...

Their group of friends dwindles daily, it seems. They just are so out of touch with reality. Say, is that an iceberg dead ahead? Well, full speed ahead then! We're unsinkable!
