The best GW "One-Click Collection" yet!

http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440270a&prodId=prod2160196a

And for a mere $11K USD......
No way I'll sit down and pound out the math, but I'm willing to guess that there is no discount per the running trend.
May favorite part:
"We will also contact you personally to arrange a delivery time that is convenient for you.."

A free appointment with a psychiatrist is included to have your head examined as well.

Bwuh?

Oh, you haven't ordered yours already?  

Just how bored would you be painting that lot?

Well, oddly, enough, I have a friend who did a whole chapter for his son (Who is evidently too lazy)

he used an airbrush.

I have three companies....
Although I cant mechanise all of it, at a push I think I could mech a company
60 in rhinos, 20 (or 30) in pods, 16 in a raider and 24 in Ravens.

Somebody at GW's online shop is bored and sitting in front of his computer with no-one looking over his shoulder..!

I could buy my car again for that amount of money. Eight times! You'd get so bored of painting eyes and applying transfers...

this was announced awhile ago over seas. I doubt it would sell, but atleast its a good plablicity stunt

Now, if only they'd do a complete Cabal, complete with 5 Imperial Sector sets, to build their tower...

I think my favorite bit is "Every Warhammer 40,000 hobbyist dreams of owning a complete Chapter of Space Marines"

I don't think that has ever been a dream of mine.

You have to read between the lines. It should say:
"Every Warhammer 40,000 hobbyist

Spoiler:

dreams of owning a complete Chapter of Space Marines"

I just ran into this in GWs site. This would be the first One-Click collection worth clicking and buying, since this one would actually save time clicking through everything and adding it to the cart.

Assuming it has exactly what you would have chosen!

Has anyone been bored enough to see if it saves you any money? Hang on, who am I kidding?!

 

I... I...
What the...
Okay, excuse me, but I now want GW to publish how many of these have been/ever will be sold.
I seriously want some sort of live camera somewhere so you could see a GW-employer freaking out that he has to start mailing these, and another camera on a gamer freaking out when he gets one of these home.

To me it is ok if you slowly amass a collection but this is a bit too much!

EDIT:
My favourite part:

"This collection contains plastic, resin and metal miniatures. These kits comes supplied unpainted and require assembly - we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue, Citadel Super Glue and Citadel Paints... and you're going to need lots!"

Yes, that is what I was wondering too.

(Says she who has about 3K worth of each Ork clan, and every freebooter option in the book.)

Was talking to the GW guy in Birmingham today and his personal incentive for selling it was "I've been told that if I get somebody to buy it I get a week off."

It comes with signed orignal artwork and a signed codex, so even if you don't save models on the moeny you've got some great collectors items there.

Some people have crunched the numbers, and *ignoring the freebies* it looks like the set has a savings ranging from 3-15% or so depending on who did the maths.

Even at 15%, WHY?!!

Because...IT'S 15% CHEAPER!

Irrefutable logic. I stand corrected.

I'm surprised people haven't clubbed together and done a group buy...

That is actually a great idea! A gaming group could band together to buy one of these and share the models. Everything could be pooled together, and I doubt there would be very much fighting in who gets what.
Im still not buying it though...

I would honestly be surprised if GW sells even a single one of these worldwide.

Oh I'm sure someone somewhere will just to be "that guy"
