I'm picking mine up an a about an hour, bought it for the 9 year old who will be building a Crimson Fists army, have been thinking about picking up a second one for myself.

i'm kind of tech stupid, but i'll be uploading some pics of mine soon. he's a jump captain (DC pack) bolt pistol, used my work knife to cut the fist on the shin off and covering up the 'battle damage' with on of those wingy blood dropy accessory things. simple but i think it looks good.

 

i'm using the plasma pistol arm to add more character to my tactical sgt.

 

(bought a BA battleforce box to restart my army since deployed life wasn't an ideal environment for little plastic army men....and now i just dont feel like shipping my old army out here.)

completly forget today was the 25th anniversary so i missed it :angry:

 

are they available outside of today?

no idea, is your closets store closed already? try checking online to see if you can order one or not.

sorry boys. :angry: apparently i need flashplayer 10 to upload pics to photobucket to put on here. (and i've been trying to download it for a week but like i said i'm tech stupid, and i have no idea why it won't install.)
I'd pick them up fast if you want one. I came in around noon to my GW and there were 4 left. By 5:30 pm the store was sold out.

 

One guy was putting his together and it's a nice kit, I have to admit...

definately a good looking kit, even better looking once you get some blood angels bits on it :angry:

Yeah I opted out when I saw the price tag of $55.

really? your shop is ripping people off mine was only $33.

 

 

 

Not sure where you live, but here in Australia we regularily get ripped off price wise.

 

Im guessing your in UK or USA.

Yeah I'm in Australia, the country that escaped the economical crisis. The country whose dollar is higher than the US dollar. The country that imported items prices never EVER change no matter the situation.

Are you kidding? I love my country.

moving to a different country to have better acces to GW stuffs might be abit excessive for some :P

 

the moment i heard today was the anniversary the store was already closed tso eh... *shrugs* doubt they will have some tommorrow but you never know ;)

My son and I were camped outside our GW store this morning around 11am (store opened at noon) with about 13 others. Managed to get in 2nd and grab everything we were wanting. All items in the store for the anniversary sold out in 10 minutes.

 

I have to hand it to GW, they priced everything quite nicely. $4 for the poster was the highlight. I had expected it to be more like $10. Wristbands were $3 as well, was thinking they'd be $5-6. Of course the mini being $33 was a bit steep, but when you think about the importance and rarity of said mini, it kind of justifies the price (considering this mini was made to represent 25 years of 40K hobbying. They're already selling on ebay for $75+ O.O)

 

Was a fun day for my son and I, both enjoyed the festivities and atmosphere.

My store got something like 15 boxes. Talking to my friend that works there, they still have about 10 on the shelf. ;)

 

I'll be converting mine to a BA Sgt.

the most difficult part of BAifiying the model is removing the fist on the shin, but it's really not that hard (did it with a work knife, there was a little bit of scarring on the model, but i just covered it up with one of those wing-blood drop bits from the DC box set.)

Um, weren't the posters, badges, wristbands and mouse mats meant to be free?

Nope. GW charged for them. It WAS some pretty cool junk, and at least GW had the good graces to make the prices low. My friend who works there even managed to tuck away one of those sweet aquila pins for me. :lol: I managed to beat the rush for the model. Instead of the GW I picked mine up from a local hobby shop that's a little closer to my house. Since he's an independent retailer he didn't give a rat's behind about the release date, so when I called him the night before the anniversary to ask him to hold one for me, he said I could just come and get it then. Seeing an opportunity I bought two, so I'll probably end up selling at least one. I think I may just hold onto them for a little while though, see how far the price rises. I mean, it's a nice sculpt, to be sure, but it HAS already risen 150% in price in just 24 hours... >:lol:
