Skaven Dice Shenanigans

[Ithilkir]

So the company I ordered my full set from only had 10% of their dice delivered and was apparently told they wouldn't be able to get any more, thus no dice for me I'm sure I read somewhere in the big thread about the new edition (JT-Y maybe...) that there was quality issues with them.

Anyone have any insight as to why so many dice orders haven't been fulfilled, was it quality, will we see them back?

The response from my local GW Shop today was dice are limited edition and will not be reprinted.

Andy Hoare confirmed on FB that there was no re-call, I haven't actually seen him confirm no reprint through

I had a set from Firestorm Games this morning and a Team which I didn't pre-order. Maybe they might still have some left...

The GW Store in Bristol City Centre had 2 sets of dice this morning, they had sold out by 11.01.

Thanks Loki, going to be a bit annoyed (but not much I can do) if they truly are limited edition dice, especially since GW didn't actually notify retailers of this.

Skaven dice are already up on ebay for £30+ pounds a go.

I wonder how many went to scalpers over genuine fans?

All will end with fans, some just took alternate route.

No, bought none, for me or to resell... but still amazed people is surprised about middle men, splitting products and other market things.

I was told by GW that I could only order 1 set of Skaven dice for every 13 base BB sets I ordered for my shop. They then called back right before release and let me buy a few more.

But I didn't get as many as I'd like. GW is doing some weird stuff here.

I hear some GW shops got lots and lots of them. My local independent retailer, which stocks a ton of GW stuff, got zero.

I got mine and I ordered from a local independent shop. I was kinda surprised that I got them actually.
(and NO, I don't want to sell them).

My local store got 3 sets in and I pre-ordered from them and got 1. No idea if I was just lucky or if they picked me because they know our league meets there.

The new designs are a bit confusing at first, but we played a game today and by the end I don't think we were having much trouble. I had a much harder time deciphering which player was which on the new Orc team when I was demoing it.

Got mine. My wife had all the new kit(box set, skaven team, skaven dice and season one book) wrapped for my birthday on 11/30, and when I asked her if the green dice sets(she does'nt know what skaven means ) where in abundance at the store she bought at, she said there were quite a few sets.

Today(12/1) we went to the portal(name of the shop) to replace a paint I spilled( ) and they had a few sets left.

Dave, the guy what runs the shop, said there were "loads" of people who said they were interested in playing Blood Bowl, before the new edition was released.

Sadly, no one showed up and bought. So they had everything still in stock. I saw 6 sets of skaven dice on the shelf.

In fact, if anyone is interested, I will go tomorrow(Friday, 2/12) and buy what sets they have, and you can buy them from me.

Anyone? Let me know that you want them and I will have the wife take me to get them.

This way, real fans of the game get them.

I'm interested, but I'm not sure if the shipping would be too high... if not, I'm in!

Thanks!
