I like the dig about international shipping

Looks like a good sale, especially the starter bundles including the rulebook.

[Mr.Pickelz]

Now that is a crazy good way to get some new people involved!

[I NoSe]

Privateer Press smells blood in the water. Good for them this is gonna get a lot of people playing.

[FastEd]

There is some great stuff on there. I may have to put in an order...

[Bigred]

Yes, I find the timing of these bargain basement priced starter bundles and their unique international shipping to be... "interesting"

...from a marketing point of view.

[Limey El'Jonson]

Definitely interesting. They want people to know that they give a darn about their customers and this is a way of showing it. *applause*

Have you SEEN their international shipping?

I was going to order $50 worth of bits and two minis (Kilt Lifter and a Hayley varient) and it was going to be another $100 postage to Australia. It seems they were going to UPS every single piece individually.

[FastEd]

Does anybody have an info on this PP tape measure that's listed in the starter bundle? Can't seem to find anything on it anywhere, and neither I, nor my friends who have also been playing WM/H since before the official release can remember any such thing ever existing.

[Quaade]

You might want to read their amazing offer once more, this time thouroughly.

Per their own text, they send the starter battleforces free of shipping charges, the starter deals, not so much.

I've been following PP's marketing campaigns for a while and they seem less keen on advertising their own product and more interested in "look at us, we seem more awesome than GW" approach.

It works in the short terms, but in the long terms they just end up looking bad, even though GW makes some bad decisions.

[Faultie]

I don't understand that one, Quaade. I've actually never seen them directly reference GW in their marketing, and instead they're more likely to reference their "great gameplay", "superior miniatures", etc.

I understand your antagonism if you are more of a GW gamer than a PP gamer, but I think you may be adding a bit more irony to your post than you intended.

*Full Disclosure: I own far more GW minis than I own PP minis, just to pre-empt cries of fanboi or the like.
