Amusingly they've listed it on their website under the Warhammer 40,000 Essentials category.

I wonder how many they'll sell.

Bargain!

Joking aside this isn't the standard ridiculous bundle:
Quote:
Alongside the entire Chapter of Space Marines you'll also receive a signed copy of Codex: Space Marines; a signed copy of Insignium Astartes (the definitive guide to the heraldries and squad markings of the Ultramarines); a full Chapter organisation chart; a breakdown of the composition of each of the 10 companies; a signed art print of the Codex: Space Marines book cover; and a signed art print of Paul Dainton's painting of the Ultramarines assembled for battle.


If someone or a group clubbed together to get it there's some nice stuff in there for collectors.

That's quite a bit of expensive, Barbie-scale crap. I wish GW all the best in this insane venture.

I believe this means they've simply dropped any pretense of sanity in their business model.

no. this sort of thing gets passed around and talked about. It doesn't cost them anything to put up, they already make the models, and if they sell even a single one they're laughing.
It's a good example of viral marketing. If they threw in 'make your chapter canon' as part of it I could see a few dozen maybe selling.

Yeah I bet if you work out the cost to buy all this separately you wouldn't be saving much at all.....I much prefer looking at WMN's ultramarines as they have thawks and landing craft as well as many more tanks.....

Someone did the calculation on BOLS - $1500 on a $12,000 US price - 11.1%.

Not too bad but i don't think mail order will be boxing too many up in anticipation of a rush... ;)

For what it is worth, someone over on Warseer claims o have bought one. He has been asked for pictures when it comes.

Link to that? I'd love to see his reasoning for doing this...thing.

No reasoning given. He just says he bought one.
