I guess they've made the best of what they have been allowed to do though.
Still excited for the release.
But that would have been £90 not £65. Prefer the price point they've gone for tbh, maximising the buying for as many peeps as possible.

So, I was watching the new BB vids on YouTube and noticed a goblin referee ready to toss a coin. Does this mean FW is going to dump some resin onto the market when BB releases? Or are we going to have to wait a bit before we can get our own?
No FW models being advertised on the Star Player videos? Nooooooo!

Except for people with teams, I guess, neither my brother nor me is excited about this box. A full positions Orc team (with big 'un if ai can be greedy), yes, I'd replace myconverted team/run another Orc team. This box would only give me another unfinished Orc team and another half- baked human team...just like the last starter I already have.
Full teams or a starter with four 12 man teams like Harr (or Hastings?) talked about many years ago, yeah, I would've bought it. This? Easy pass.

Sometimes what's good for you isn't necessarily what's the most profitable option.
Keep it cheap to get the most people buying and playing the game as possible... then provide full resin teams for those of us that want it.

And I doubt that putting out plastic teams that need a much larger investment for four or so resin dudes than the plastic box is a great idea. Star players, maybe big guys in resin, okay. A hypothetical 10€ gutter runner? Players will probably just split another plastic box for several of them.
Full resin teams for a game that sees minis handled like BB does with laying them down, turning them, picking them up very often, no, thanks. I don't think resin is best for BB.
I'm not saying it won't be a success, but I'm curious if this will convice vets to buy as well as get newbies in so FW can milk them with resin stuff. But it HAS to be a success to get more SG support. I WANT it to be succesful.

I was pretty excited at first, I was chuffed when I saw the price as well.
I would be tempted to get it and teach some friends how to play, but after seeing there was not enough of the right positions to make a decent team I have decided not to bother.
I would need two boxes to get enough players for each team, I will not be buying it, seems like a blatant money grab or an idiotic mistake on GWs part.
Another missed customer here, I was really looking forward to this release as well, and now im a bit gutted.
I am just going to keep buying the third party stuff until GW release a full team that I play without having to buy extras.

The Skaven dice are unsurprisingly sold out already, but for the Skaven team to be temporarily out of stock already is a bit daft.
My local GW (Coventry) has this table set up as a giveaway to a lucky pre order customer, is this repeated across the country?

This supposes that most people who buy will be doing so to run a league with all the bells and whistles. Hopefully plenty of people will do that.
Pitching it at the price they have is going to pick up much more people that are going to get the starter and maybe am extra plastic team. It's a decent Christmas present level. A team is a good impulse purchase level.

Ha, that's my local as well. Spoke to Dave, the manager, and he says the Skaven sold out fast and it he's had a lot of people in ordering it.

Wow, Skaven gone already.. sure they will have more though.
I headed into the local GW at 10am.. needed to get a reactor, but wanted to preorder BB as well, as I want to go get this on the Friday its released on.. (Our local isn't doing the midnight opening, but as a one man store I don't really blame him) so have two boxes, two skaven and the dice and book.
Wasn't waiting for the additional figs to fill out the team.. thought I'll just have spare Skaven for when the Goblins arrive for the Underworld Creepers.

So, this is annoying.
I'm trying to order Blood Bowwl from my FLGS. I can get the starter set and the book. But the store needs at least 4 boxset preorders for the store to be allowed to order Skaven teams. And they need 15 preorders to be allowed to preorder the Skaven dice.

I wish two things were improved in Blood Bowl:
1) No laying down minis. How many noses, elboes and spikes must be repainted after a tournament? One thing Warmachine taught me was, do not flip models. Use tokens.
2) Just one simple rule saying that if the ball carrier can score without risk, it has to. This would simply remove the much hated stalling, particularly killing the fun for softer teams. It is not fun playing a squishy team against Chaos with the cage 1 square from the end line, while the rest of the team uses claw, mighty block and piling on for the few of your players still standing, while the ones who are down receive sneaky git and dirty player.

1) Get a good matte finish clear coat. Krylon works great for this!
2) To quote Bob from BB2 PC: "All this focus on the ball violates the spirit of the game!"
