In other news, boy, that sold out fast, didn't it? Good thing my local FLGS has preorders for a whole cent less than MSRP. I guess in two weeks I get to find out whether I get a copy or a "Sorry, GW short-shipped us, have a refund!" email. (Or maybe even store credit. That'd be just the best.)

I kept refreshing my cart with the sold out Box Set in it, and it went in stock again. I managed to get through PayPal and score a copy. Definitely go check your carts and refresh them for a while!

Reserved my preorder on Monday. GW confirmed quantity with my retailer, then made a "you'll get only 45 and like it" last minute decision. Retailer is forced to cancel my preorder. Start checking GW's website early. Saw the preorder, but before I can add it to cart, I get a "site down for maintenance" banner. By the time it comes back up, the box set is out of stock. I had a relative on the phone hitting F5 as well, and he managed to get the copy. I guess if you preordered from a retailer that trusted GW, or didn't have a team of people helping place an order for you, you weren't trying hard enough and it's your fault, not GW's.

Kitchner posted:No, you're being very aggressive because I had the temerity to say "I felt bad" that they missed out due to being literally 45 minutes late to an item everyone was promised they could get a copy of went on sale. Your only defence seems to be it's his fault for believing GW when they made that promise, but no criticism from you of GW for making that promise. I'm being 'aggressive' because you were werreting over nothing and that is tedious. You made wrong assumptions about stock availability at GW and blamed them for a betrayal, just as you have made wrong assumptions about stock availability at Firestom. Either of which could have been corrected with a modicum of common sense or effort. If you had asked anyone in this thread they would have said it'll sell out. Multiple retailers in the UK had allocations of 300+ copies. You talking about dick sucking or making allusions to autism as snide pejoratives doesn't make you any more correct by the way. Desfore posted:All of this made me look through my order history, has anyone gotten that limited time Sister of Battle they sold back in April yet? Sister Tariana Palos? Sounds like release in NA is a bit of a shitshow. Hopefully if you miss out you can get it from the second production run, assuming that also happens in America. Meantime, check your local indies and hunt google for places with stock, I don't know how it goes over there but as already shown earlier in the UK, you are usually able to get a copy elsewhere for a few hours.

My Indomitus pre-order that I placed this morning on GW's site has disappeared from my order history, despite them having taken my money and sent me a confirmation email. The other order I placed shortly after for Chapter Approved and other stuff is still on my order history. Hopefully Customer Service is helpful.

My guess is worst case they've hosed something up and will offer you a box from the August print run, but you should be fine as I've never heard of the GW site itself, poo poo as it is, overselling stock.

Believe it or not, he didn't enter into a contract for goods. Check out the GW T&C: quote:3.1 Once you have placed an order you will receive an email from us acknowledging receipt of your order. Please note that this does not mean your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to buy Products from us. All orders are subject to acceptance by us, and we will confirm such acceptance to you by sending you an email that confirms that the Products have been despatched (Despatch Confirmation). The contract between us (Contract) will be formed at the earlier of (i) the point when we send you the Despatch Confirmation,or (ii) the point when we despatch the Products to you. If you want to argue semantics, I can see if I can locate the GW trade agreement and compare the language. In a world where net 30 is a concept, I don't know offhand how much of a difference there is between paying for an unaccepted order vs taking on an obligation to pay for an unaccepted order, but I wouldn't base an argument on it.

So I kinda want to dip my toes into warhams and I was thinking BAs done up as local sad boys the Lamenters (or just play it as straight successor) would be cool. My local GW store is still taking pre-orders for Indomitus. How dumb would it be to just preorder now and then figure out if I want to pick up or just return in a couple weeks? Or even just grab it and then if I decide I don't have the time or will to assemble and paint just sell the box? There's a lot of choppy Marines in that box...

I could use both the Marines & Necrons for my armies, but I'm gonna hold onto the box until they announce what the 'actual' starter set for 9th is gonna be, then decide to flip, open it.. or realistically, horde it in a closet with all the other boxes.

Grizzled Patriarch posted:Airbrush chat a few pages ago was super helpful, but I had one quick question: how often do the Badger brushes go on sale and how cheap do they get? I don't want to spend money I don't need to spend but I also don't want to wait like 6 months to save $10 or something. Get the Patriot 105 on Amazon as soon as possible. Not worth the wait to buy during the annual sale, when shipping times then are measured in months

Contingency posted:Believe it or not, he didn't enter into a contract for goods. Check out the GW T&C: I concede your point about contracts, I was mistaken. My original point still stands though. There is a difference between the wholesale arm of GW having to amend stock allocations to retailers (including GW as a retailer) before the release date, which is not a rare occurrence, and GW the retailer accepting orders on the website that they cannot fulfil. I'm not saying it's impossible they sold goods for which they didn't have stock, I'm saying that the former is not rare, and the latter is not something I can remember having happened before.

Looking into the 9th rulebook special edition, and what past special editions offered, and this is quite possibly the worst content to price ratio Games Workshop has ever offered. Not canceling my pre-order, I really want this book, and special editions by their very nature are always a rip off and everyone should know that go into wanting these things. I just wanted something very unique and rare that is related to a hobby I really love.

Yeah, I looked at the webstore description, and the main selling point just seemed to be the slip case & fancy cover? Granted, it looks really nice, but for more than 3x the regular price I kinda expected some extra gubbins like, a fold out map or more art.

The pagethrough of the Indomitus version of the corebook I saw on YouTube before I got bored and clicked away also showed a gatefold galaxy map. I... guess it might not be there in the unlimited, not-in-Indomitus-and-not-with-special-cover edition?

Preem Palver posted:You keep saying this, but where did GW say it? Literally every preview article on WarCom says that it's a limited box and that you should try to buy a copy as early as possible because stocks are limited. They probably weren't anticipating it selling out so quickly, but as far as I can tell at no point have they "promised" that every single person who wants one will be able to get it. They said literally those words on several of the streams, but the language has been the same in basically every article about the box: You simply do not want to miss out on this amazing set, so it’s important to mention that, as it’s a special launch box to celebrate the new edition, it won’t be around forever. We’ve made (literal) boatloads, but if you want to make sure you’re among the first to hear when it becomes available to order, and ensure you’re in early doors to grab one for yourself, sign up to our newsletter and keep your eyes on the Warhammer Community website. ... Indomitus is limited, but, in expectation of high demand, we’ve made absolutely loads of boxes. As an additional measure to ensure that every faithful fan gets their copy, we’ve limited orders to 6 sets. So, if you want to have over 5,000 points of new Necrons on launch day, we’ve got your back, while also giving you a better chance at securing your set. ... Indomitus looks like it’s going to be a popular boxed set – and it’s no surprise with all those gorgeous models. We’ve made a lot of it (like, really, a lot) because we know that there are absolutely loads of you out there eager to get your hands on it and conquer the galaxy. We want to make sure that as many of you who want a copy as possible can get one, so we’ll be setting a limit of 3 Indomitus boxed sets per order on games-workshop.com. We told you a while back that this limit would be six copies, but on reflection, we think that three will help ensure that even more hobbyists end up happy. I mean I'm not really willing to go back and re-watch the live streams to go to the point where someone is saying "We have loads, they are limited but everyone who wants one can get one" several times, so if that's what you needed then sorry, feel free to just believe I'm lying or misheard them or whatever. Lovely Joe Stalin posted:I'm being 'aggressive' because you were werreting over nothing and that is tedious. You made wrong assumptions about stock availability at GW and blamed them for a betrayal, just as you have made wrong assumptions about stock availability at Firestom. Either of which could have been corrected with a modicum of common sense or effort. If you had asked anyone in this thread they would have said it'll sell out. Multiple retailers in the UK had allocations of 300+ copies. No, what makes me correct is that you flipped out and started being rude to everyone because I said I felt bad for someone I know, because they overslept and the box set that we were assured everyone could get if they wanted it sold out in 15 minutes, making him half an hour too late to buy it. I didn't need to ask people in this thread or anything, because I'm not the one buying it. I felt bad for someone new to the hobby trusting what they were told about availability of this set, and not making a greater effort to be there at 10am mashing refresh because of that. So far you've told me that: 1) The new guy to the hobby is at fault for believing GW, a mistake you didn't make because you've seen their promises before with limited edition, 2) GW is going to be re-printing the box this in August, and when people asked you to provide your source for this, you went silent, and 3) Now you're claiming that plenty of retailers in the UK had 300 copies of the box set, despite the fact multiple sources online say they were limited to 45. Again, no indication that there's any evidence of this other than a website I've never heard of claiming they had 250 copies. Maybe you're right, and they will re-print the box set and retailers did get that many. Maybe Firestorm did have 250 copies despite the fact everyone else was told no (I know my local independent didn't have 200 copies). For all I know your dad works at Gamesworkshop. However, if you don't want to be accused of sucking GW's dick or being unable to empathise with anyone, then maybe stop doing those things. GW hosed up because they made promises that they couldn't keep. If we are charitable, they couldn't have possibly predicted how crazy popular the box set was (and that's VERY charitable) but now having made the promises they did, they should do something to try and meet those promises (e.g. printing more boxes). Having a melt down because one person posts "I feel bad for my friend" and trying to deflect any blame from GW is all you've done. Kitchner fucked around with this message at 21:27 on Jul 11, 2020 |
