I assumed that the picture on the online store showing 5 standard speeders was a mistake but apparently it isn't. You now get 5 land speeders per pack with no variants - when did this happen?

Has anybody bought razorbacks recently - the picture shows 4 bolter models - do you still get the lascannons as well?

The guy buying them was at WHWorld - who rang the 'factory' who said all packs were like that now

Just looked online and the pack now states 5 land speeders, no mention of variants. Yet another example of GW support  :shutup:

hmmm...that's pretty worrying as far as allowing new players in goes...it mught not DO much but does anyone reckon that an angry'ish letter from all at Taccomms outlining our concerns and asking exactyl WHAT is going on would field any answers?
Sometimes it feels like poor old JJ is just put there to obfuscate what's going on by the fatcats up top (as well intentioned and admirable as he is); perhaps demanding some answers from them would make things a bit clearer?
Optimist,

That seems quite odd.  I would have thought they'd make the mold so that one cast is a set number of blisters to keep the transition from molding to packaging as simple as possible.  Having an all-one-type mold and having to keep count of so many A, B and C molds as they run, then mix the results into each blister individually isn't the most efficient process.

No telling with GW/SG...  :oo:

This does suck! :sad:  

Are there any other models that look to be affected from the Marines or any of the other armies?

Actually, I believe this is the way it's always been listed... that's the way it shows on the GW Canada site and it hasn't been updated with the "new look" of the GW U.S. site.

It's not a GW conspiracy to further marginalize Epic or other SG games... as it would be *tougher* on them to just cast standard Land Speeders and package them.

Addendum - Just checked the Austrailian site, and it's the same... and it *definitely* has not been updated; the pictures of the Razorbacks also just show Heavy Bolters, so, there's nothing to see here.

The photos may have always been like that Chroma but the fact is the blister now contains 5 Land Speeders with multi-meltas - you cannot get the typhoon and tornadoes. I've seen the blister and Matt had the store call the picking department who confirmed that each now contains 5 speeders.

Yep, the description on the web states 5 landspeeders where it used to mention the variants as well.

Hopefully the other packages are not effected,was going to stock up on razorbacks but it is worrying that they may only be the AP razorbacks in the packs now.

I bought some speeders and the variants are still included - there must have been a mispacked one before - added to GW employees having zero epic knowledge
