They are available on multiple FLGS webstores at the moment mainly because they haven’t updated their website because they have no idea how many boxes GW will allocate to them (GW can update their own website as they know the exact stock levels), however GW selling out this early is usually an indication that the FLGS store will only be getting a few.
This leaves the FLGS having to make the apologies (rather than GW), AND getting hit with card merchant fees twice for the original purchase and then the refund. So in a way GW are basically saying “buy from us online and if it shows in stock you WILL get the goods, order from someone else and well it’s a bit dodgy (you’re fault if you do such things) .”
Unlike the Rohan Buildings, these will NOT be available again in another format (going by the track record they are basically OOP).
It still amazes me given the sheer amount of rulebooks GW have released for Necromunda and all the “rules for rules sake” they’ve added to pad out these rulebooks to hit the page count that they couldn’t just include the tactics rules in the book for you to either make your own, photocopy, or still buy as card packs from GW as a “convenience” product.
It’s just shitty marketing (to make the card so essential to gameplay and make it limited so they ALWAYS sell out), and it seems strange that GW are quite happy to leave the FLGS in the lurch buy no advising them of how much stock they WILL receive (at this point they know how much the stores will get, the store will not know until they open the shipment on Friday).
