What board games are you BUYING?

That's the stuff I ended up buying. It made those Genestealers much easier to assemble, thanks!

Yeah, it was a last ditch effort as every other place was sold out here too. Anyone looking for Fury of Drac, this place still has a couple copies left. Shipping to the States will be a bitch though.

I grabbed Forbidden Stars and talisman blood moon from CSI the day the GW/FFG split was announced. Wanted to get more talisman (I don't own any corner board expansions) but I couldn't justify the cost.

I really liked Forbidden Stars but in my brain it was a "Ok, but I own Starcraft and still like it"

It's hard to tell if Fury of Dracula is going to run out soon here in the States. Miniature Market and especially CoolStuff seem to have a supply dropped off at their door every couple of days. Or maybe they are rationing them to keep the frenzy going. FoD has fallen back to page 3 of the Top Selling list at CoolStuff and they still have lots.

I think FoD will get another sales boost for Halloween that'll finish the remaning stock if its not gone before then.

Good point. I would imagine that Wil Wheaton's FoD Tabletop episode will be scheduled near Halloween as well.

I just got my copy from The War Store.

Here's the thing. Like I said before, there's no telling how many copies of FOD are at distributors or sitting on shelves out there, in warehouses and back rooms. This was a very popular game, and in a very well-regarded and presumably high volume reprint edition. The shortage of the game at online sellers over TWO DAYS is what has fueled speculation on this one.

It isn't rare, and just because it is out of print doesn't mean it's unavailable. Or that it won't be available even after February 1. I think now that the panic is subsiding, we'll see the stock on it almost normalize- at least at retailers that have reordered in quantity. I do agree that with Halloween and the Tabletop show that will likely zap stocks again. I would speculate that by Christmas - not next weekend- it will be scarce with lingering copies here and there.

Now, two years from now is a different story. This game had ALWAYS commanded $100+ between printings.

Heh...like $100 is a lot for a board game anymore...I remember when I wanted a copy of FoD 10 years ago that seemed astronomical.

What's the estimated overall print-run for an FFG game like FoD? How many do they typically print?

I just asked my brother in the next city over to pick up a copy of Specter Ops at Barnes and Noble for $25.

That scifi board is truly spectacular!
