For some reason, despite the ample recent exposure to the current excremental state of the 40k rules, I thought I would visit the GW store to pick up a copy of the new Imperial Guard codex. Like many poor decisions, it seemed like a good idea at the time, as we were in the neighbourhood running a few errands at St. Vital Centre. How bad could this be?

Artist rendering of GW drone in action...."Be sure to come back on Wednesday!"
Drone: “What are you looking for?”
GB: “Do you have the new Guard codex?”
Drone: “Yes!”
GB: “Where is it?”
Drone: “Well, unfortunately we’re sold out.”
GB: “So, you actually don’t have it then.”
Drone: “We have a store copy that you can read!”
GB: “…………………….”
Drone: “We should have some more soon, check on Wednesday.”
GB – sound of leaving, car starting…
As Dallas told me, I should have pre-ordered! When will I learn....
