I do chuckle when I see $30 Forgeworld landraiders from China with "12 available / 76 sold".

China is awash with GW copies.  Also I see a lot of painting service stuff out of China and Taiwan - not bad work too, and prices are okay.

Only available for two days as well. $59 down here, could probably buy dread all and a team for that amount when things are on sale.

I think I'll stick to buying RT era metal and plastic marines, as that is actually cheaper for me then buying new stuff in the shop.

That figure, in fact, looks quite similar to the original metal limited edition one they did, which I also have, so another reason not to buy.

sorry - bit of bad form to quote oneself , but I checked when I got home. The pose is indeed one of the original limited edition figures - Stuff of Legends link - it's the LE2 Imperial Space Marine.

Even better, I have two of them  . Sadly, both need a long dettol bath and repaint, but still...

I tend to get nostalga twinge on Stuff of Legends - August 1986 first space marines. Happy days

Dem prices, damn. Even factoring in inflation, they only come out to about £3-£5 each, if that.

Don't worry, though, GW has your back with it's £18 miniatures.

I only have one, but, I intend to stick with it, after all, its still actually in the mountain waiting for paint...

They're back!

Ahh, so it was the space hulk kind of "last chance to but". 

[zemjw]

If they're ever throwing out any old sofas I think I'd buy a couple. The amount of stuff they seem to find down the back of them is just incredible 

[Andrew Rae]

C'mon, neither of those are legitimate moans.

[Tactalvanic]

If anyone actually read the blurb they would know it is a limited edition marine which is a reimagining of the first marine figure (the one everyone is saying they have already) to celebrate 30 years of space marines.

It is actually a collectors piece hence the stupid price.

Yup. I did. Still, I am happy with the original imagining.

Then considered the GW definition of limited edition, and concluded the high probability of more of this re-imagining of it turning up every few years.

Consider GW limited edition to mean "limited edition, this year?"

Is that legitimate enough  ?

[Modhail]

So, they celebrate 30 years of Space Marines...
Will they also celebrate 30 years of Orks (the very first Warhammer 40K LE was an Ork after all, the marine was LE02...), 30 years of Eldar, 30 years of Imperial Guard, 30 years of Inquisition, etc. with special models?   
Or are you just a second class citizen if you're not a 8 foot tall, genetically manipulated, power-armoured male power fantasy?

[Tactalvanic]

You never know, they might surprise us and do just that...

I smell a reworking of 'Blazing Saddles' with 40K races. It's a winner, I tells ya!

It'll certainly be better than that "Ultramarines" movie...
