I was just in the GW shop at Eaton's Centre in Toronto, and they've recalled all the models for auction. So I'm stuck with my one battle box and 2nd ed. book until later this year. Hopefully they'll release stuff over the summer, but it's not likely.
Good news is that if they recalled everything (seriously, not a single blister in the store) then they'll be redesigning everything. Not entirely guaranteed, but a safe bet.
Now I've got to ask myself if I'm going to nab that Daemon spearhead box... :shok:
Well, the manager's words were "we were told by head office to recall all models for auction". Doesn't sound like like it was limited to this store. Can anyone else confirm from their local GW?
Ya but only after the revision has bin done and the new release is but months away. Also DS just release a DE with poison blades. What is going on only time will tell. I just don't want people getting to happy because DE are low man on the totom poll if you know what I mean...
Well, I only bought my first set of models (battle force box) three weeks before GW pulled the line. I don't even have an HQ yet. I'll need to do something to hold me over before they are released. Either pick something up on Ebay/craigslist, or maybe sell my stuff off and go Daemon...
Makes me wish I just waited for the Daemon Spearhead box from the beginning... :angry:
my store pulled DE like four years ago and i thought that they were gonna stop making them which would have been a shame, glad to see that thier being revamped though
To be fair, squats were just like short gaurdsmen, with trikes and a couple of units which were MEQ. I think they just didn't know what to do with them and so just stopped talking about them and hoped they would slowly go away. Dark Eldar on the other hand do have an individual character, are important to the Eldr background, and have, thanks to DoW got a massive profile boost.
I dont think they will go the way of the squats. And this isnt a diss at squats. I always liked the stunty blokes with there epic vehicals. Imagine a land train in armageddon? or one those zepplin balloon things as flyers.
This recently happened with all the Daemon stuff. All the stores around here have not been carrying the Daemon stuff for a few weeks. You can find the odd Unclean One kit but that's about it. GW stopped shipping stuff to "redo" everything. What that means is the same models, new box.
I'm pretty confident that DE won't be the same situation. :no: Based on the other rumors we've heard about the artist and legal stuff, I would be very surprised to see the old DE models in a new box.
