The only "instaneous" sell out that I know of was actually the limited edition print. That sold out in something like 6 minutes when it went up on their site. That was 200 copies. Considering the overall popularity of 40k, it doesn't surprise me that speculators, collectors, rpg fans, and fans of the 40k setting all showed up to try and get a piece of that pie.After that, they were doing pre-orders. A month after that they started doing the preorders, they said that they were sold out and folks would have to get the books from their FLGS. There's no indication just how big the print run was, nor how many pre-orders were done.I've got no idea about Warhammer fantasy. I've never known anyone in 20 years that played it. I just thought it interesting that the Warhammer Fantasy game seems to be in limbo right now, instead of going along to FFG like 40k did. I don't know if it's because the property is going to someone else, because FFG had to pick one, because they figure Warhammer Fantasy should get sorted out after the 4e D&D hoopla dies down, or what.As for the other stuff... FFG hasn't actually been responsible for developing any of that. I've got no idea about the status of the writers of Dark Heresy (freelance or GW employees), so it's possible they could wind up using 'em.And does a GM screen and packet of character sheets actually count as "supplements"? I guess they do, but I don't think that's the sort of thing that most people on the buying treadmill are really after. *shrug*I'm not doom-saying here, at least I don't think so. I was simply saying I was surprised at how everyone reacted to news that FFG had got the rights to do the DH game and why I was surprised. I'm certainly not complaining that not enough books have been released. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> I'm not actually buying any rpg books until next year, and even when I start buying books again, I don't know if I'll bother picking up any of the other DH books. If they've got enough non-rules stuff in 'em I might.</blockquote>
