So they're going to reprint Rogue Trader.
Estimated delivery in 180 working days. That's not a typo or a joke, it says so on the website. Because the book's print on demand it somehow takes them 36 weeks to deliver it. You can order until November 6th, which to show an estimate on the delivery time if you ordered on that date the delivery would be around May 4th next year. Also it's 55 euros or your regional equivalent.
Lmao, I say.
Bit of an old one, but as far as I understand it this is because their books, unlike the miniatures which are printed in the UK, are printed in China on massive orders. So with this kind of reprint they have to send the order once finalised, wait for the chinks to print the books (which probably isn’t straight away since they too are likely to have some backlog), load the books on a cargo ship together with Codex Eldar, Tau and the latest Age of Sigmar stuff or whatever they plan on releasing in the next six months, wait for said ship to reach the UK (takes more than a month minimum) wait for said ship’s cargo to clear customs, wait for GW to sort out their order and inventorise them…….and you get my point.
Not the most time efficient method but I’m sure it’s VERY money efficient for GW (not for you of course!).
