Reply To: GW Allocations on Beast Snagga Ork Box

true … and I think that if anyone was surprised by this then they haven’t looked at GW’s history with this type of product.
We also should consider the simple fact that due to the Event (stay indoors!) and that thing in the Suez canal the global logistics have been f*cked up. So shipping to locations that was expensive before sure as hell is going to be stupendously expensive now.

And to be honest … it is a bit of a gamble, because not everyone into 40k is going to ‘need’ those new minis that come with the codex.
It’s not like this is an army that didn’t have any models at all.
True … most of the stuff the Orks have dates back to the previous century or thereabouts, but they still have their core troops and a ‘start collecting’ set.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we’d see the contents of this box in a new Ork ‘start collecting’ set as it is similar to the AoS version (orks on beasts, troops and a few heroes).

The communication from GW towards their shops and 3rd parties should have been better, but that has been an issue since forever and it doesn’t look like they will ever fix that.

We could tell people to stop buying GW products, but the fact is that people like what they make and the number of people playing their systems is big enough that you practically ‘need’ to buy stuff from them if you want to play a game.

A community that is biased towards a different system would suffer the same problems ..

// status update
GW is using the same queueing system that they had for the AoS boxed set.
It was to be expected …
