The LAF Games Workshop Discussion Thread

[Too Bo Coo]

Funny isn't it? Especially if you consider the exact same thing happened with the previous 2009 "one time only" release of Space Hulk.

Yeah, but by GW Math the people in 2009 were 12 and are now 17 and playing things like Bolt Action, so there's an entire new group of pre-teens to deceive....

 Now in "marine transit".

So at least one large shipping container full of  "unsold" stock then?

Shipped back to the UK to be shipped worldwide from the UK, to all of us who don't have them yet/ebay OOP resale etc.

Don't suppose they want to do a marketing trick and just send me a copy free/swap it for a U2 album?

Yay for GW though, keeping up with their normal standards.

You are very ungrateful people!
With all of the effort they are going to in order to get these back to the UK you should at least shell out double for them.

[Tactalvanic]

We are all very grateful to GW.

 For Encouraging us to find alternative suppliers and games

 Bu most especially in this instance for ensuring that a limited edition, never to be seen again board game classics is available again. 

Twice.

Our hobby would not be the same without them.

Heh, without GW I could have never started on the road that led me to the LAF... So they did at least one good thing, if inadvertantly.

Except that to GW Bolt Action doesn't exist, in their world the only competition they have for a young lads soul is the trio of Beer, Girls and Motorcycles...

No I meant that the last group playing GW games in 2009 are now 17 and playing Bolt Action, so with the new group of youngsters GW can play their trick a second time!  Sorry if that was confusing before

[Modhail]

  I guess I'm just not used to seeing GW as part of the real world anymore... That, or out of self-preservation, my common sense shuts down as soon as GW is mentioned. 

It really is a transparent and cheap trick though... And useless deception. (If GW were smart, they'd put those sets onto Ebay themselves somewhere around nov-dec starting at €120 a pop. Undercut the fleecers and getting extra money for free, I thought it'd appeal to them.)

Edit: Nevermind

You should apply for the CEO job - you might just snag it with ideas like that!

Right?  That's the kind of innovation that has GW Upper Management written all over it!

[Modhail]

Sadly, I'd be instantly disqualified for the job, on account of still possessing my original soul and my subversive attempts to actually care about the games.

I think most weapon enthusiasts will be disappointed upon entering.

I think most wargamers will be disappointed upon entering.

I do think the store renames are a good move for them.  The simple white font is more up-to-date from a design prespective, the name ties to the product, and as others have said already, it'd probably what many folks call it anyway.

That made me laugh out loud ...  Well said!

New nurgle champs look quite good at first glance (not talking about the price obviously)

I agree. They look a lot like the Nurgle Lord from a few years ago and I love that model.
