Space Hulk Returns?!

The fact it was limited to 3 boxes per customer makes me think that is what they want; speculators snapping them up. If it was a proper LE release, I'd be expecting 1 per customer, but GW just want to offload as quickly as possible at full RRP.

I actually get multiple copies of limited products for myself. I keep one as is out of the box and use the others for conversions/bits. So I think 3 is a very reasonable limit.

I can see what you mean. However, the fact that the market for out of print LE Space Hulk 3rd edition has proven to be pretty strong, I think there is a point to be made that some people are going to be securing extra copies as speculative investment.

This has been happening with Kickstarters quite a lot recently (with LE characters coming out all over the place- and if the game is popular, those $10 characters will eBay for $50) and limited release figures (like the ones Wyrd does pretty often). I don't think that GW has their head under a rock so far that they can't see that selling to speculators might be profitable for them.

Sadly enough I see what you mean. Most everything 'limited' or out of print gets silly priced on ebay. I guess it's an easy way to make money and Space Hulk is a pretty safe bet to be popular.

I preordered a copy for 80 euro yesterday!

Huh. That's significantly cheaper than in the US.

Yeah I know, I preordered it via an online independent retailer ([url]http://www.tabletopminiaturegames.eu/index.php?action=article&aid=12998&group_id=43&lan g=EN[/url]). They were offering it with a 20% discount and had 4 copies in stock when I placed my order. I'm still a bit skeptic and will believe when I receive the package.

Even 3 boxes per customer is excessive,in my opinion.I don't belive that everyone is like you...

Seems a lot of people are very opportunistic about grabbing them up for speculative ebay profits so 3 may be excessive. Plus for those few hobby nuts like me it's easy enough to secure a single copy from various FLGS and/or GW direct to get the extra bits and pieces.
