Very annoyed these products can't be shipped to Australia! The prices here are ridiculous.

Well, it depends which friends you might have in the U.K that might be willing to do you a favour. I'll say no more on the idea but I've got friends who buy from GW here and send christmas parcels over to their family...

Or you could bite the bullet and fund GW Australia =p

I'm actually looking at getting some shipped from the US

Definitely won't be funding GW Australia if I can help it!

Folks, we've got 1 limited edition figure case in here: http://www.greendragongames.co.uk/hobbi ... -case.html please not that free shipping code is not honoured against this item due to it's bulk.

greendragon · **Posted:** Fri Nov 30, 2012 4:18 pm

Shipment emails going out today to all who have purchased from me, to clarify: We've had an issue today with Games Workshop messing up the limited edition order, we haven't yet recieved our full allocation. It's winging its way to us via priority courier but probably won't arrive until late Saturday evening or very early Monday morning

.

Don't panic, although I too am upset because I ordered almost one of everything to play with as well. We'll all get our minis around mid to end of next week. I've sent out the emails with tracking codes and also attached a free gift to each order as an apology on Games Workshop's behalf. The orders are also insured to maximum value with the courier, all at my expense. The account manager on the phone does send his deepest apologies, they've made a few mistakes with the overwhelming-ness of The Hobbit but it seems like we're back on track now.

Once again, any questions do email or PM me and I'll sort it out for you.

Kind Regards,
Steve

Just got the email GD. No worries mate, it has given me more ammo for when I go and moan at them on monday :twisted:

Keep up the good work mate

Well that is annoying but not your fault Steve. Oh well its not like I was going to paint them anytime soon anyway.

What happens if one does not order until next week?

(About the proucts in general that is)

I imagine you won't get the stuff until the week after that. No idea how many of the limited edition box they made, but I'd imagine it will still be available.

Fishlegs · **Posted:** Sat Dec 01, 2012 10:55 am

No worries Steve, I'm not sure I'd get a chance to paint them yet anyway as I have so much marking to do before Christmas! I'm putting in another order with you today though!

If you P.M me what products you're thinking of (this applies to everyone really), EDIT: Before Sunday at 6pm UK Time. I'll make sure 100% that it's in stock and in the building whether you chose to order or not, as we have another delivery coming in from GW arriving on Weds/Thurs next week. That way if you did order next week I'd send it straight out as soon as possible Thurs/Fri rather than wait for the stock to come in

. You'd then receive it a few days after that.

Regarding Limited Edition, I have none left, tried to order more today but all I could get was one custom figure case - apparently they've sold out of stockists limiteds but still have plenty of GW own limited (at full whack RRP).

Once again I apologize for the mess-ups, Games Workshop also send their apologies. This is in no way the fault of me or Green Dragon Games and I will be sending in a formal letter about the situation Monday morning just to convey everyones feelings to them XD.

Got your order here today

Your first order will be sent out asap of course, then the second order shortly after that mid-late next week. You say marking.. as a teacher? Chris GoM is a student... is there a one-ring connection to be made here? lol.

Cheers GD, and yes I'm a teacher - I think there's a few of us hiding on these forums!

Its worth heading over to my main suppliers forum thread to find out a link to the December Newsletter (subscribers will already have recieved it). There is also information on discount codes and how this benefits one-ringers.

Will keep this thread for purely Hobbit-related queries, a lot of you have ordered Hobbit stuff from me so I'll use this to keep you updated and hopefully give everyone a heads up about any future Hobbit releases too.

greendragon · **Posted:** Mon Dec 03, 2012 5:37 pm

We have 2 limited edition figure cases coming in Thursday and it looks like we might be in luck for some extra limited edition box sets too.. Watch this space as I have ALOT of maths to do.

Dezartfox · **Posted:** Mon Dec 03, 2012 8:31 pm

Just ordered a set of the trolls, two boxes of goblins and a captain

Might get a case off you on Thursday too

greendragon · **Posted:** Mon Dec 03, 2012 8:37 pm
