Well, I probably am going to buy at least the core book. The Warhammer World always was a favorite of our group, though we got tired of the system after a while - we had tried out all the interesting career combinations eventually. Now we are using GURPS, which is a fairly good fit (as opposed to, say, D&D, which is much too over-the-top).
Maybe the new edition will fix the problems we had with the old one...
