Meanwhile I'm over here getting excited by the availability of scatter dice and artillery dice.
TBH - I know GW get a lot of stick but this last year they really seem to have turned corner, I'd imagine this may have taken them by surprise in popularity and units sold. But it can only be good long term because they'll make more skirmish stuff again.
I genuinely feel enthusiastic about the company. It reminds me of how I felt about them when I was new to the hobby, shortly before they went public. They seem to be trying new things and looking to not just hard sell anyone that sets foot in a shop.
Love it!
Love it!

Ha! I see you have also dealt with Waylaid (I mean Wayland) Games.
I believe you left it in the too late zone, unfortunately. I only hope that this 'sold out' horse shit is an April Fool's Day 'joke' on the part of GW as @NoobLord suggested.
If you missed out then don't worry you can grab it off eBay for the low low price of £499. What a bargain!
I expected this to happen. What I didn't expected is that it would happen that soon. Some folks seem to be "morally flexible" (sorry, english is not my first language, hope you understand what I mean) when it comes to money making...
Edit: I should've better checked the link before posting... This is a pre-order for a pro painted set. That's something different. I'm sorry!

But how many are new customers? That's likely what they are after, so that will influence speed and size of any reprint.
Hey all. Managed to snag a reserve copy from my local shop, and according to the manager, supposedly the plan is for the rules to be released as a FREE pdf download next week on the site. May explain why there was so few copies made, since the terrain goes on general release anyway and none of the models are new.
That'd be handy. My printer ink will be savaged even further from when I printed off the NCE ha ha.
If anyone in the U.K. snags two sets of the boxed game and wants rid of the spare dice, counters, templates etc bear me in mind!

That would be great! I hope it's not an April's Fool though. This day is having his fair share of ups and downs.
It bears mentioning that he was also completely unaware that the set was only a limited run so make of that what you will. It would be the smart idea for them, soothing all the salt from those who missed out and lowering the barrier to entry for everyone else to near zero. Then a few months down the road, having no doubt added more kill teams through whitedwarf or whatever, release a compendium book bringing it all together.
Of course aye, i never even thought of that. Doh. And if you think of warhammer quest and its two editions, not unreasonable to expect a shadow war: necromunda, or even shadow war: big chunk of cadia.

Bizarrely, Wayland Games now lists it as 'Restock Expected' and 'Available To Order' and the price has gone up to £72 from £64.
