As you can see from the GW UK Online Store the Epic Armageddon rulebook has sold out, to quote, NOTE: This book is currently out of stock, any orders containing this item will be held until it is ready for dispatch.
Now is this good news or bad news?
Personally I think it is good news, as the managers of certain GW stores have also indicated to me that the rulebook is selling fast!

Hi!
I say good news. It means they have made realistic estimations of sales and have produced accordingly. They must never make more than they sell for epic to be continously viable.

I say its a good sign, as all truly great things sell out within the first month.

I went in my local GW store today, and saw a copy of the rulebook, but didn't get it...sounds like I should have now!
And it was only ?20 as well!
Cheers
Chris

I am glad that I got my copy pre ordered from the UK site. ?It would have made it even harder to get it here in the United States now that they are sold out! ?  ?And I am getting great use out of it too! ?I am also hoping that this is good news and means that EpicA will be around and SUPPORTED for a long time! ?Happy Hunting all!!!!

I didn't verify, but someone posted on the playtest forum that they were back in stock.

I'm sure by May-June when E:A is released in the US, there will be enough copies to go around ... as well as minis. But, as always, we'll have to wait and see.

I got my copy today, as I was in my local GW store (again). They said it was ?20, so I said I'll have it!
And it is one very nice rulebook!
Cheers

Hi!
I wonder if the US release is really May or more like June?

Even money says the earliest I have any E:A in my Hands is June ...

well all i cna say is that i think its bad news that the rule book has sold out so quickly
this is for 2 reasons.
1) it means i cant get a copy
2) it also means that there is a large rising interest in the game, and this means that GW will recognise this and bang the prices up. it happened with Warhammer and with 40k.
theyre just looking for money!

1) They'll make more ... 2) More interest means E:A will live and more Epic stuff will be released ...
