Suck it, scalpers!

A few weeks ago, I posted that one of my friends picked up a limited edition box set for me that sold out immediately worldwide. Well, we finally met up and we exchanged money for the box!

This is what has all the scalpers online going nuts.


I mean, it's a pretty sweet box to begin with, with some awesome cover art. The whole scarcity thing had the scalpers either selling these for like 200% markup or taking these boxes apart and selling the pieces individually on Ebay for ridiculous prices.


It's a lot of pieces! I'm going to have a lot of fun building them and painting them, rather than selling them off. It's going to take a lot of time and effort to do all that, but hey, I have fun with this.

This box will make a tank, a floating spiky jetski, 10 knife-wielding witches, five winged dudes with guns, a squad of 5 heavy weapon users, and the below two special characters. It also comes with a cool art print, the instructions, and a small campaign book.


These two pieces in particular are interesting. They are exclusive hero characters that are currently only available in this box set. Sold individually, the scalpers are looking to make the price of the whole box (or a good chunk of it; I haven't checked Ebay lately) back on just these two tiny pieces of plastic alone. I, on the other hand, am going to enjoy them as long as I can.

So this is my next big project after I finish all the other ones. All the scalpers out there can suck it, because I got it the way it was intended to be sold! From a locally-owned gaming store, not an online resale site!

That's just badass

@TheLordOfHell I definitely think it is!

@FaeLuna I love Warhammer. Never played the 40,000 variant, but the original is King Bop

@TheLordOfHell I've heard good things about the original! I've considered starting it, but all my friends play 40k, so that's what I'm focusing on at the moment.

@FaeLuna How many of you play?
FaeLuna · 31-35, F
@TheLordOfHell At least six of us meet up roughly once a month to play. Some of them get together weekly, but they live close to a store and the rest of us live like an hour drive away.

@FaeLuna That's awesome. I have quite a few board games, but nobody to play them with. Washington's War, Arkham Horror, The Thing, Star Wars Rebellion. Closest person to me, one who plays that is, is 3 hours away

@TheLordOfHell Ooh, that's rough. I miss being closer to people, but at least I'm not that far away.

@FaeLuna That's true. An hour drive once a month isn't bad at all.
