Hachette New Hachette Magazine Combat Patrol

[Nephaston]

 

Grand total of a squad of 6.

 

Which isn’t how 10th works 

Get the three ETB introductory ones and the "get started" magazine one and you have 10, all with unique poses.

How was postage worked out on that newstand website? I'd wrote off getting this magazine (especially with my original desire to go premium) but £6 an issue makes it more tempting.

P+P is included for UK orders. Not sure about international but if you make a dummy order for your country you should be able to see what it would be.

 

Edit: change the location on the page for prices. Looks like US postage is included too.

Those four were included in the 6.

 

3 x ETB introductory models from the paint set

1 x Getting Started magazine

1 x Store intro model

1 x Combat Patrol magazine.

If you order from newsstand it works out £6 per issue, but you don’t get the extra free gifts like mugs or glue.

The robbing scoundrels

[Emperor Ming]

That newsstand is only 52 issues not 90?, 

 

are you able to get the premium kits? I guess not

Premium is subscription with hachette only...but is £5 more expensive an issue versus this method.

Postage is included in the UK; don’t know about anywhere else…

You can only order a max of 52 weeks’ worth, but I am assuming you will be able to order the rest once it gets near to the end of the first year, just sub again starting with issue 53. You can order any number of issues from 1-52 and start from whichever you want. I’ve ordered the first 8 but after that will be doing it a month at a time.

No, it’s like a basic level of subscription; you just get the magazines with their included models, and no other gifts. They don’t offer the premium sub.

[Emperor Ming]

So the difference is about £450ish 

 

and the only difference from ordering from hp is I wouldn't get the crappy clippers? so forth

 

IS that right? otherwise that seems to be some serious price differences for some free goodies (which aint even that good:P)

 

 

[ZeroWolf]

Technically you are paying over the odds for issues 1 (cover price is £2.99, newstand 6ish) but yeah those prices are correct. A sub for 4 weeks is just over £24 versus the £48 for subscribing premium. If the combat patrols are complete within 10 issues (give or take) then that's £60 a CP box (with extras!) Which is astounding value really.

As per Forbidden Planet, issue 5 is the limited edition Infernus Marine, issue 6 is barbgaunts. Issue 7 is available for pre order but cover not revealed yet.

[Doobles57]

Am I missing something something or have Newstand jumped their prices up to over £12 an issue suddenly? Wonder if they'd set the opening issue price as the £6 odd including p&p and then copied that for all of them; and have now realised that was an error and corrected it.

[ZeroWolf]

You're absolutely right it has, it now says £13.16 for part 6 (odd that parts 2-5 aren't listed) which means that we can calculate the price of postage at £3.17 per issue.

 

Wonder what this means for people who have paid for the old price? Will that be honoured still despite the company losing out up to 50% revenue? Or will those subs be cancelled?

[skylerboodie]

I subscribed for 52 issues for £307.43; not heard anything yet but will update if I do. I suspect they'll try and increase the cost, although it's already been paid up-front. If they do, I'll cancel the whole thing. Hopefully they honour it!

They're taking the glitch route so wouldn't suprise me if they take a look at existing orders at the original price. Shame as I was getting excited about that rare thing in Warhammer: a bargain! I don't see what benefit you're getting over subscribing direct with Hachette now at this price. 

[TheArtilleryman]

Daaaaaaamn. Well I’ve already ordered the first 8 issues and paid up front so fingers crossed they honour it. If they don’t then  I too will cancel as I never wanted to pay the full price in the first place.

 

Very disappointing tbh as I was more excited about the later issues. I might even cancel what I’ve already ordered and just sack off the whole thing. Will have to have a think about it. Knowing the issue contents for 7 and 8 would help too as I’d know if they are worth having.

Is there a confirmed date for issue 1 to be in physical shops? I thought it might be today but my local WHSmith has none. Not sure if I'm looking too soon. Or if they've all been snapped up already.

(Forbidden Planet has a release date of 28th August, and with Stormbringer, physical shops generally had them the week before forbidden planet's date)

The 28th is the official street date as far as I can see.

Thanks. I'll try again next Wednesday.

Same, also I asked them about the 90 issues, and they replied with:

 

We have no idea bout that

 

Not exactly reassuring

[Brother Nathan]

has anyone seen one on a shelf yet? Am in work but hope to quickly check a few places on way home if theres any left...

[Tichinde]

picked it up in ASDA this morning.

[TheArtilleryman]

Not yet but there are plenty on eBay for double the price already 

 

Newsstand are honouring my sub for the first 8 issues at £6 each but after that it would be full price. I asked to cancel and get a refund but they were going to charge a 20% admin fee for cancelling so I just decided to leave it.

[Blindhamster]

my son came back from the store today with a copy. He was very pleased with himself.

[Emperor Ming]

Looks like NewsStand will be honouring the 52 issues for 307, which is their mistake I guess

 

Don't think il pay full price for the remaining 38 issues when they come around. 

 

That will prob leave me with a random pile of stuff
