Anyone else here grab one?
Yep. Still in the shipping carton, but it's on the dining room table. My wife and I plan to consider paint next. Well, some sort of snips first to get the things out of the sprues is probably a good idea.

My FLGS is giving away a copy and giving everybody that buys $50 of GW a raffle entry. They rounded up so I've got three chances to win another copy.

Waiting for a friend for Space Wolves.
Pretty good stuff, not worth the $16 they're asking though.
Check your TM.
EDIT: Well my buddy is saying the DA one is amazing so I'm going to start reading that one. My initial reaction was for the UM one which, like the UMs are pretty plane.

I picked up SH and the White Dwarf #33 from the GW website. Unpacked it but haven't opened it. I would like to get the iBooks in PDF format or something, but not for $16 each.

I don't even like the figures as much. Sure, they're better sculpts but they look messy and confused in the plethora of different poses. The marines look more like a ragbag bunch of power armour mercenaries than a cohesive military unit, and the need to make so many different genestealers has results in some really silly sculpts.
If there's people buying the boxes and splitting them on Ebay, I might go for an "everything else" copy, with just the rules and the carboard. Alternatively I could be tempted by the CAT figures to embellish my existing copy. Otherwise, no.
It's good that more people are going to have the chance to see and play this classic, though.

Nice to see someone still playing 1st edition, although those miniatures are pretty ugly. I hated those little antennaes that broke off if you blew on them. The tiles aren't so hot either with little variation in art. Rules are great though.

Plus I can play it with my nephew and not feel like I have to be on edge all the time.

Good point. I forgot I replaced all my 1st edition Marines with a mix of metal sculpts from the same era and 2nd edition plastics. But they are better than the 3/4e ones
