(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.)

I am Legion Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demoulius Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 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 ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenExxes Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I must admit, if it were a Bloods model I would have bought two. If that's allowed of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evicerator Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamwulf Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
