Wh40k 10th Edition Leviathan Pre-Orders + Pre-order Bonuses (10/06)

[AnvilofFenris]

Just checked for GW UK, no queue, still available. For anyone else working nights who was asleep yesterday! 

[WrathOfTheLion]

The GW physical stores should get an actual allotment in the US as well.

I had the box is my cart at GW and frontline both were available. I just didn’t find I needed the box as I don’t want to focus on either army.

 

Glad others got it though. Of interest at the time I was on GW website (1130-1200 is PST) it only allowed a maximum of one set although I thought it was going to be 2 per order. Maybe they adjusted.

 

Now if I can just find that ashes of faith at an affordable resale price.

[MithrilForge]

We just popped into our FLGS and they had the models on the counter building them… the Screamer killer is one great looking model  and it’s real beefy !! 
also they said did we want to pre order?, they have copies left …  obviously GW actually gave our independent retailers some good amount of stock !! I’m shocked

Seems to me the idea that other releases might have suffered because gw would not put on the production brakes for Leviathan migh've had some truth to them

Seems they have gauged the demand pretty well, has it sold out in any territory yet? Hopefully some scalpers have invested hard in this and it may turn some off with slow returns.

Yup, it seems that way.

Sold out on the GW Store in the US and Canada. Some translated versions have sold out as well (Japanese and Italian versions) however literally everywhere has English copies available.

Warehouse capacity and shipping logistics probably played a factor as well. If you're stacking up hundreds of thousands of boxes, you've got to put em somewhere prior to shipping to 3rd party retailers/customers, and that was still coming out of their old warehouse in Nottingham per their last report (due to delays transitioning to their new midlands eurohub), so probably leaving limited space and capacity for other releases.

 

I imagine it looks rather like this right now:

Watched that with the kids yesterday lol

I got my two boxes via email list from FLGS, for 555 PLN (125 EUR) each, free postage. Payment after delivery.

Gotta love the "regular customer" mailing lists and discounts from the already low PL prices :3

[acrozatarim]

My flgs here in Wrocław still had a few left to sell as of about midday today, and at a decent discount, though it looks like they've shifted most of their expected stock already.

[Shovellovin]

I was looking on eBay for USA sellers that are offering the Leviathan box for preorder and notice that they are not selling at a 15% discount. Most are selling for list price or with a 5% discount. 
I ended up ordering from Poland because even with shipping, I could get the models I want much cheaper than what is being offered in the US.

Theres definitely a few things GW can be fairly criticised for, but theyve handled by my estimation 2500 TONNES of Leviathan very well, let alone for a company with IT and warehousing issues

 

Ive jinxex the new 40k app now havent I?

 

[RWJP]

Leviathan is now no longer available in the UK. According to some comments on Reddit looks like it went out at about 14:30... Or in other words, it made it about 28 and a half hours before selling out.

Indomitus sold out in less than an hour, so Leviathan lasted at least 28 times longer...

[Brother Dallo]

Has anyone ordered from Alchemist Workshop? I put an order in and got a confirmation email, but slightly concerned that their stock indicator doesn’t seem to be going down appropriately.

Gw really isn’t that small and plucky company anymore.

I just checked the Belgium  shop and it says Leviathan os out of stock online, I checked earlier today and was still available. I'm not sure whether all EU shops share the same stock count, however, but it seems GW might run out of stock by the end of the day, which might be their absolute best scenario? 

[TrawlingCleaner]

[Eptesicus]

Well that was better than indomitus anyway.

 

I wonder if they won't bother with a second production batch this time seen as it lasted a reasonable time over the weekend for people to get one.

 

It is a shame they don't have these for general sale all the time, but I guess the discount (in terms of just how much you get compared to full price kits or even combat patrols etc) is just too large for them to be an always in production production.

[Odd-ad]

I think GW got the demand about right this time, could have maybe done sending more to third party stores, but for the most part a good job

 

Hoping that they keep this up for future releases, but since this is the big new edition launch box that's probably a vain hope

On the other hand, this was taking up a vast amount of production capacity, so now it's out of the way we might start seeing stuff produced in reasonable quantities again.

[Nephaston]

German Language version is still available it seems. Which doesn't surprise me; almost everyone I know recommend the english version just to avoid errors in translation, not to mention the simply awful localisation of names.

[Warden-Paints]

Some pretty filthy comments left on the Warhammer Instagram about availability make me feel like I'm living in the twilight zone... I pre-ordered mine through FLGS with no issues at all.

Some people will never be happy, no matter what. Others will take any opportunity to bash GW, regardless of the situation.

 

Overall I think they've gauged it about right in terms of stock levels (UK based, so primarily talking UK). Plus the webstore experience was alright, although stock levels helped that massively.

This went way better than I expected but let’s not get carried away.  They’re completely sold out online 24 hours into a 2 week pre-order. I wonder if the community has outgrown GW.  If so, I wonder how they catch up or if they will try to.
