Bev'an Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I was on 20 mins before still had an 8 minute wait on live. Ordered, with some dice, nice little metal combat gauge too.

StraightSilver Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 (edited) I open multiple browsers (the queue is based on your browser rather than IP address), so with 2 laptops and my phone I had 7 queues.I opened them all at pretty much the same time, but the variation in wait times is quite staggering. However, my shortest was 6 minutes, so I was in and out by 10 past 10. I have closed the other browsers but 3 of them were still at >45 mins....

Dark Shepherd Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 There is no elites there, only troops. So no terminators, banshees, scorpions, berzerkers, etc. It seems that marine fireteams cannot be mixed, so only tacticals/scouts will have decent enough firepower/melee. I guess we will see an Elites supplement in a year or two, meh Ork Kommandos are éliteGuard Veterans are élite SM Reivers and scouts are elites Tau stealth suits are élite And so on ;) If theyre trying to balance by relatively uniform squad size it seems fair enough. Well once I can take chainsword wielding Grey Hunters :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/370956-kill-team-new-edition-box/page/23/#findComment-5730295 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firedrake Cordova Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I opened them all at pretty much the same time, but the variation in wait times is quite staggering. GW have said that if you go on their site before 10am, your position in the queue will be randomised. If you go on their site after 10am, you will be put on the end of the queue, exactly as if you were joining a real line in a shop.

RWJP Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 (edited) Worth noting that despite the pretty mega queue times that as of 11:30 BST the delivery time is still being reported as 28/08 so that should mean they're still working out of their initial production batch and not on to Made-to-Order.Hopefully that means that GW really did ramp up their production massively for this one and actually got a better idea of demand. Other than Dominion I think this is the first box that has remained in stock for an hour and a half for quite some time. Obviously the MtO period might have helped slow down orders a bit, but considering how massive the queue times have been, I reckon a lot of people are still trying to get hold of the initial batch.Also, props to GW on actually regularly updating the queue system with messages about what's happening with the stock levels, that's a nice improvement.Edit: Just seen that Dark Sphere are apparently reporting they are going to be getting 950 copies of Octarius: https://www.darksphere.co.uk/p.php?p=134936 Normally Dark Sphere's stock estimates are bang on so that would definitely suggest that GW have massively ramped up production if Dark Sphere have been allocated nearly 1000 copies of the box!

Maschinenpriester Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 (edited) The shop I usually pulled off something unusual today for the pre-order. There where two options. One undiscounted one for the fast pre-order and a discounted one for the made to order option. Not very happy waiting so long for the rulebook. But I'll take the discount and split with tree people so everything is fine. And I absolutely approve of the way GW is fighting scalpers now. A buddy ordered the rulebook and compendium separately so well have a warmup game in 2 weeks hopefully.

Lysimachus Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Having thought about it, I'm going to wait to order anything. I don't need the box as I'm not fussed on Krieg and I like my own converted Orks, and £50-60 on rulebook+compendium seems a bit steep*. *Especially when you consider GW track record, that the rulebook at this point will probably be full of typos/stuff that needs errata, and the compendium will be rendered more and more obsolete as we go 3/6/9/12 months along...

Redcomet Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Seems like there isn’t a mad rush for this box. 3 hours in the preorder window, and it is still easily available for delivery in two weeks.

Got someone to take the models, terrain, board, and octarius book for 70% retail :) As of 1315 GMT still a short queue on GW site but its not sold out One red herring to look out for is theyre only guaranteeing a copy if you order this weekend. Seeeing a few pods/influencers etc saying its if you just preorder in gen Edited August 14, 2021 by Dark Shepherd Halandaar 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/370956-kill-team-new-edition-box/page/23/#findComment-5730337 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWJP Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Seems like there isn’t a mad rush for this box. 3 hours in the preorder window, and it is still easily available for delivery in two weeks. Saying that though, the GW site has been updated and is now showing two options for ordering Octarius, one is the regular pre-order and the other is the MtO option. They're listed as separate products. That suggests to me that the initial wave of stock is going to run out pretty soon and GW are getting the site ready so that people can order MtO Also, the 1 box per order limitation, plus the queue, plus the MtO period may have simply slowed down the rush.
