Tau Release Update- Riptides & More Arriving Soon!

By Rob Baer | July 3rd, 2013 | Categories: Tabletop Gaming Products, Tau
As you may have noticed we stopped accepting orders over a month ago for “Pre-Release” Tau items.

Due to Games Workshop’s inability to provide North America with sufficient product for a normal monthly release, most mail order retailers oversold their allocation of Tau as supply could not meet demand.

But there is a light at the end of the tunnel!  This week we should receive the rest of our initial Tau shipment to fill all outstanding orders.

So as product arrives to fill our current pre-orders, they will be shipped and the remainder will go on sale to the general public as per a normal release.

Plus we are fully stocked on Sunshark Bombers, Stealth Teams, Crisis Teams, Piranhas, and the Tau Codex!  You can checkout all the in stock products for the Tau HERE

Thanks so much guys for your understanding in regards to the fabled Tau release of 2013! – MBG
