I pre-ordered through a bloke in the UK, so I don't have the order number. Shall let you know when I get it though :nod:

Looks like I'm the first to get mine! Or at least the first to boast about it on here.

I am now officially the proud owner of limited edition Wood Elf book number...........
0226!


And the two hundred and twenty sixth order was, according to the receipt, o458870059.

I am also having to wait now until next Saturday despite being told by 3 different customer service advisers earlier this week that it would arrive today, after the confusion of the first one cancelling my order and then telling me the book had sold out :mad:

At least the Store Manager realised how important it was for me and gave them a call. When did Games Workshop start putting people on the phone who don't know anything about the product...

Don't they know this is the single most important event since Little Red Riding Hood slayed the Wolf !? :D

So, the most important event since, well, ever? I'm pretty sure Little Red Riding Hood never slew anything. I bet the hunter was secretly a Wood Elf though... :ninja:
It's been my experience that it is indeed quicker to get your book and models in-store rather than pre-ordering it (which makes no sense to me, it should really be the other way around). After doing that once with the Tomb Kings book (which was the single most important event since Cinderella lost her glass slipper), I'm never pre-ordering again. The only things that do deserve pre-ordering are limited edition items, such as the special army book and the magic cards, to make sure you have a copy.

Yes the last time I bought anything direct from GW was like 2006 so won't be making that mistake again, if it wasn't for the fact that it was Ltd edition I wouldn't have bothered, as I could have got the stuff from Firestorm Games much easier. It annoys the hell out of me that people end up with their books early and I pre-ordered mine and don't even get it on the release day but a week later !?

If anything pre-orders should get there stuff first, but instead we get punished, what other company's in the world treats their customers this way, it makes no sence...

I can feel a rage quitting moment coming on :mad:

I'm going to make a cup of tea...

Don't forget the biscuits, they'll cheer you up :nod:

The only time I've pre-ordered anything from GW was when the Tomb Kings book came out, several years ago now. Back then though, GW were actually pretty timely with their dispatches, and I got the book first thing on release day, so there was actually a benefit to pre-ordering. It seems lately though that they're so determined to control everything, and are so uptight and rigidly bound up in their own self-importance, that they're prepared to sacrifice customer satisfaction in order to stay in control and make sure everything in on their terms. Just look at White Dwarf as a prime example - it used to be the case that subscribers got their copy up to a week before the official release date; nowadays, they're kept waiting up to two weeks after the release date before they get their copy...

TBH its partly my own fault, if I had of just kept my original order I might have been reading it by now. At least I've still got one coming I mean it could have been a lot worse so I'm grateful really, nothing a nice cup of tea won't sort out though ;)

Nice that's a low number, I bet mine will be one of the last ones as they had to go and find one "out the back"

Mines been dispatch now and the Magic cards from my localish stockist are ready for pick up at the post office :)
Seeing that GWs site is now more a store than anything else, you would expect they'd have focus on delivering on release day. If it takes 3-5 days for shipping to Denmark, they should have shipped it on the 30th...

OK - putting people's numbers in now. Ordering them by number. Number #70 in Australia! I'm wondering if they just sent out the numbers based on alphabetical order?

I had a bit of a heart stopping moment this morning when straight after my dispatch email I got one concerning my request to cancel my order! Luckily it was just to say they hadn't managed to act on my request (despite it being sent a week ago) and if I didn't want my order I could take it to a store, etc and get a refund.

I can live without the Astartes Captain as long as I get my army book and magic cards, so all is well!
