Games Workshop sent out an email stating that there were 350 copies left of the Eldar Special Edition Codex.
You can buy it here, but at $ 100 I have to say, you better be a VERY hardcore Eldar fan. These books never hold their value. Just try and sell a 4th or 5th edition limited edition Rulebook now and you will be lucky to get 1/5th the original price.
You can also download the digital version of the Eldar Codex. But at $ 49.99 this is very expensive. Think about it. Games workshop doesn't have to PRINT The digital Codex, so already they are saving the $ 5 or so it costs to print the codex in China (I printed catalogs for Propworx in China and know how cheap it is). Plus they have zero labor costs in shipping it.
Now a rational strategy would be to charge $ 50 for the codex and add the Digital version on for maybe $ 19.95 more. If you want just the digital version, then you pay maybe $ 39.95.
But what do I know? I don't run an intergalactic monopoly that squeezes every last dime out of its loyal customers.

Last week it was 600 left. So they only sold 250 of these, world-wide, in a week?
ReplyDeleteThis is what happens when you triple dip every single codex release.
ReplyDeleteSomething something... darkside. Something something... complete.
ReplyDeleteThese codex's are a joke. All that extra money for a dust cover. They could of at least included the Psy cards for that money. And i think the limited edition should of also come with a code for the digital version. if they did that they would sell nice and fast. it doesn't cost them anything to throw in a digital copy for free. The copy's they actually do sell on iBooks more than covers there server storage costs.
ReplyDeleteno wonder
ReplyDeleteits just got a paper cover
and instead of the eldar name on it, it has black sides and a ribbon
the more cost on it for GW is a few bucks per peace
kinda funny that they don´t sell those off but on the other hand they have jet again not enough stock for indi retailers
