hey all

just received the latest WDO newsletter, dated 3rd Oct. some of the prices are quite unexpected (this is just the relevant snippet):

THIS WEEK: Space Marines
NEW RELEASES
OUT NOW!

CODEX: SPACE MARINES
£15 - OUT NOW!

THUNDERFIRE CANNON
£18 - OUT NOW!

now, according to the GW site, the new marine stuff is still on Advance Order (released tomorrow, not today). not only that, but the codex is supposedly £18, and the Thunderfire £30 (these are the prices i was expecting). so where did GW get this stuff from?

sounds like an error to me, GW is after all notoriously rubbish at communication within the company

conscriptboris

See imperialsavant's thread on pretty much the same thing ..GW = bad at rolling out- especially bad news..Autobots- now they were good at rolling out!

Definitely a cockup. However, you could try pushing them on the phone to let you have a Thunderfire for £18 and see what they say It was never that price even on pre-order, it was £25 when they first listed it.

i am considering it...
(isnt £18 less than trade price? )

i just checked the email and there doesnt appear to be any disclaimer saying the prices might not be correct.

p.s. on a related note: i went to my local indie yesterday to pick up my reserved copy of C: SM (which he opened his delivery just to give me), and GW hadnt even given him the prices on the invoice (just the "£9999" placeholder we see on the online store sometimes). i had to tell him how much it was supposed to be. so yes, GW are useless when it comes to rolling things out.
