Just posted an update about that one too,there will be a beauty shot before the GB closes so no worries, this Orient Express one was an isolated situation.

I believe the slip artwork was already posted before opening and thats what everyones decision is usually based on so we thought it will be enough for everyone. We dont think its important for anyone how many character cards there will be so we think the slip artwork is the decision maker here (if its otherwise we are ready to listen to you feedback).

Apparently most people make their decision on whether they're going with the GB or not once the slip design is shown. I do not agree. Other FA Group Buys sold out really fast (Murder on the Orient Express, The Greatest Showman, Gladiator for example); they're not going to stop doing it. Until people vote with their wallets and refuse to commit to a GB before full beauty shots are shown, this practice will likely continue.

Personally I think it's pretty unprofessional to keep opening GBs before the full beauty shots are shown after saying they wouldn't or only occasionally.

Hey guys,

Sorry, I didnt have time to post an update as yesterday we were very busy trying to prepare for the GB and then we both need to get some sleep

The opening of GB after the reveal of beauty shot was one of the priorities and that is how we planned it as FA confirmed to us a full beauty shot will be revealed during the day today.

Karel could have opened the GB earlier, but since there was no artwork we wanted to wait, which resulted in GB opening at the very last minute so hopefully most members will see these updates and get ready.

Good luck everyone!


PS: This release will have the option to add UHD disc for extra 400 CZK. Once everyone will sign up in the GB we will PM them about this option.

I would have preferred one of these posters for the slip, would have matched the first two slips a bit more...

Karel is trying his best to secure copies, but in the end he has to work with what he gets from FA. If Karel wants to secure copies for us here he has to do so before the pre-orders over at FA starts. That is one of the conditions for getting copies ahead of their pre-orders. It sometimes happens that full beauty shots are not released by FA by that time yet. Yeah it happened for few latest GBs that we had the slip artwork only, but would you rather prefer us not to open any GBs at all if there are no full beauty shots released? Would that be the more professional way about it in your opinion? Unfortunatelly we cant make them change their plan of releasing beauty shots so as I said, we have to work with what we get. If there wasnt a full beauty shot, there always was at least the slip artwork.

Hope this isn't going to be an XL edition as that would look really stupid next to 1 and 2
