4 Promo figures with stat cards are in the store for a limited time. $25 each set!!!

By Frog, in Runebound

so sad i missed it....grr

Crazy! I posted that only hours ago.

I'd keep checking, others say the keep bouncing from "in stock" to "out of stock". Maybe even call FFG.

(Read the comments on the main page about this)

Lol, why do they even bother with these if they can't keep them properly in stock? I'm all for limited offers but they should not go out of stock in a day.

I can miss some expansion if I think it's not what I need (i.e. I can save buying class decks), but additional Heroes that I can use in both Runebound and Descent are very interesting to get.

I hope they're going to make this Gift Bag a permanent product. It's impossible for someone who doesn't live in the US to get these promo figures & cards, unless they give us a real chance.

I live in the US and believe me, unless you had been sitting in front of your PC hitting the refresh button on the FFG website all day, everyday since the RoT weekend you would have missed out like I did.

It is somewhat frustrating as I had been trying to check the website everyday when the opportunity presented itself after I had posted a request in the Descent forum asking about these items being made available for purchase. I had also sent a mail to FFG customer services (no response has ever been received) despite a reply to my entry in the Descent forum by a fellow community member stating that FFG read entries and might pick up on this request.

However, without receiving any warning that these promos would be made available I only found out after everything had already been sold. sad.gif

In truth I would settle for just having access to the cards and scenarios now that I have the figures after fighting off equally determined fans bidding on ebay. I've not tried this before but would be prepared to have a go at printing usable copies from pdfs if FFG would make them available for download. I have seen some great free downloads from FFG already so know that they have the ability to deliver if the opportunity presents itself but also recognise that their priorities must be in keeping their business and subsequently our dreams alive (go FFG go! You are the best games producer out there right now IMHO aplauso.gif )

Oh well, one day I hope that they'll hear my cries ... happy.gif

This is precisely why I dislike the promo business model. No matter how you try to gimmick it, the allure, the money and the demand are all based on the fact that these items are only available in limited numbers and at limited sales outlets. That means some people will always be left out in the cold, and I dislike that idea.

I believe that jpgs of the hero cards are available over on BGG. Certainly the original Spanish/German/whatever versions are (with translations in the comments), and I think I've seen the English ones too. At least for Descent, I haven't really gone to check the RB side. Can't help you with those scenarios, though.

I have a set of the figures with Descent and Runebound cards only up for sale or trade on BGG in the Trade Forums. Same user name there; BGG PM me if interested...

Oh, US shipping only, please...

I just happened to login to the FFG site that day at the right time myself and was able to order them. However i also feel for those that missed out on them. Then again if i lived close to the FFG store i am fairly sure i would have a hard time not being there all the time. :/

Sold my figures today...
