Nostalgia - Rogue Trader books…

[HerbertTarkel]

Oooh! That’s what my shelf USED to look like…

Well, I’m on my way now …

Coincidentally, I came across a seller on Ebay selling a copy of Waaargh! Orks (because now I have to start looking again of course ). And it went for decidedly less than the other offerings on there. I could not find anything wrong with it, but in the description it said it was a reprint. And then it dawned on me that the book was an actual hardcover, and not a cover without binding. Because I think the original only ever came like that; a cover with loose pages (which were supposed to go into a binder I guess).

Did you ever come across something like that?

Son of a … that’s the one I bought. I WONDERED why it was so cheap. I might have to cancel now. I feel … scammed. He did the same with Freebooterz!

“Too good to be true” 


I have also sent an email to GW Legal as this is clearly counterfeiting.

Big thanks for pointing it out!

[Daeothar]

Oh bother... 

The only thing triggering me was the fact that it is a bound book. When scrolling down (lots) I came across this info, which put me off, as I would really like to have the original product, especially considering this is all about collecting for me, as opposed to wanting to play those rules.

The other thing not to my liking is his incredible leadtime. Which, thinking about it, is probably due to him first having to commission another printing...

[HerbertTarkel]

100%!

I didn’t read the description, which is on me; and now that I read his feedback - all he sells is reprints! Which is why indeed his lead time is so long.

Grrrr.  Well, I am expecting a full refund as it’s been overnight.

Again, thanks for the heads up!!!

[Daeothar]

Cheers, I hope it works out 

[HerbertTarkel]

Dude refunded me.

Hope GW legal cares enough to do something to him, too.

All his listings are counterfeit reprints! The old TSR ones stand out to me more obviously.

At least I got my money back.

I got lucky year or two before the pandemic sourcing a lot of those old rogue trader sourcebooks looking at Oxfam online, good quality and a bargain price. Doesn't pop up with google searches but if after something specific worth a check.

Managed to get all 3 of the old Ork books.

That’s a heck of a score! I’ll definitely check it out - next month … I’ve spent far too much in a week

'Ere We Go and Freebooterz were the 3rd and 4th greatest WH40K books GW ever printed. They are on the list of books I wish I hadn't lost.

Might be worth contacting Drivethrurpg and let them know that an ebay seller is passing off counterfeit copies using their name to imply it's legit. Also pass all of this onto Ebay itself - I've no problem with buying actual legal reprints of oop books but this is just a complete scam.

I contacted GW legal, and that seller no longer has ANY GW products in their scam shop. They do have other stuff though. It’s just such a scam, I agree.

The classic article from Rick Priestley.

Received my 1989 Compendium today. Beautiful condition.

Ah yes; my bible when I was starting my grav-attack tanks 

Nice addition again

Yep - the 'plastic spoon turret' idea keeps resurfacing as a useful technique again and again - I've used plastic spoons as turrets, car canopies, sensor blisters and many other things - so useful.
