More Holiday Release Rumors:

There has been a lot of talk over the last few days about a possible Black Friday sale, or a midnight release of some sort from GW this holiday, let’s take a closer look:

We reported the following about a possible Black Friday midnight release already this week:

There is a big rumor going around about a secret midnight sale on November 25th at GW stores this year (which incidentally is Black Friday). A lot of folks are assuming that it will be the release of the Burning of Prospero, however will the be the case?

First off the Rumor via Dakka:

My local GW has a 25 nov top secret midnight release. Anyone any idea what it could be ?
Could it be the return of Necromunda ?

But what if GW has another Black Friday Sale as well?
