Yes free 90 degree turn. Don’t you remember forcing extra overwatch shots to get jams with those free turns?

Is it my faulty memory or did genies used to be able to turn 90 degrees for free? Now its a point?

I am celebrating 3rd edition too! I am very pleased that a game I love is getting all this attention and new players.

Ok, I take your point about the £60 price mark; maybe I am a bit out of touch. My 1st edition was £22 new.

Just saw a 3rd edition copy go on Ebay for £97 which is a big jump above the average so far.

I have to weigh in on this. I don’t think 59 quid is a high price at all. Agricola, which is all cards and little wooden cubes and counters, cost me around 50 quid this year. The big box Fantasy Flight games, like the recent Middle-Earth Quest, retails at the 60 quid mark, near enough. Board games tend to be expensive.

The limited stock thing is fair enough. Games Workshop is not a board game company anymore. Doing a one-time print run (which was a pretty large run, to be fair) is as much as you can ask, I think. That they did it at all is to be celebrated.

Pod, 3rd edition is not selling for £120 on Ebay. Some people have put copies up at crazy ‘buy it now price’ or with stupidly high reserves but nobody bids. These very high ‘buy it now prices’ are probably just people trying to up the perception of market value. The actual sold prices are between £75 – £80 and, in relative terms, there are remarkably few copies actually being sold. The cynical profiteer is GW, which has deliberately created a supply shortage to sell stock at an already high price of £58.75. GW staff I have spoken to in stores have whipped up the hysteria about everywhere selling out fast. It is an effective short-term means of boosting turnover. Give it a year and they will probably do a limited release expansion for just £50.

By the way if you want a set I can sort you out…

I’ve seen this video 4 times now.
We used to play Hulk all the time, the first time we played it was on its first week of release. I think I only ever saw the first mission completed once for the Blood Angels, It’s that first offshoot corridor from the undock that does your head in. Anyway, thanks for the video and the enthusiasm because you just made my wallet lighter.
Are you getting a cut of the marketing budget from GW?
