I’m still pissed I missed the LotR/ME stat cards. It makes me bitter and not wanting to play the game at all, which is sad as it’s a good game. It’s the fact that they sold out before I even heard they existed! If I knew they’d eventually print more I’d be ok with it. I don’t mind waiting for another production run. It’s the “Look at this! Isn’t it awesome? Don’t you want it? Well too bad you NEVER GET ONE!” that pisses me off.
Regarding the SoB army box I got up early and sat at the computer hitting refresh for a good 15 min before it was scheduled to go on sale. I THINK I’m getting a copy. The site crashed not long after I finished the checkout. It’s an XMas present for my gf who’s wanted “battle nuns” for many many years. I’m glad I got an order in but still annoyed I had to go through such lengths for it. I’m perfectly happy with the generic releases next year but she’s a collector and not having the special edition book and minis would bother her. I am pretty sure the releases in January will be different than the ones in the army box. Looking close at the preview images for each show subtle differences in pose and decorative bits like purity seals. For a collector it matters to have both versions.
