==Pros and Cons== ''Plase note that these comes from a spainard perspective. They may not apply to other countries' versions.'' ===Things that ROCK=== * First off, the HUGE discount that you're getting the models. This begs noticing, as you're getting many of the characters and units at 50 or 33% of their original prices. * Being weekly means that you can assemble and paint the models of the collection at your leisure and still have time to, you know, have a life. (unless you are a VERY slow painter) * If you want to, the editors (Salvat and Hachette at least) let you order certain issues either by their pages or from FLGS/FLNS when avaliable. Those Ebay speculators can suck your dick. * The collection is ideal for the uninitiated. It contains everything Warhammer, from models, scenery, paints to stories, background, tutorials... Even if you're collecting them for yourself, you can use the collection to initiate another guy/gal you know. ===Things that SUCK=== * Even with the discount, the full collection is EXPENSIVE. Sure, a few dollars/euros a week are not much, but if you add it gets really high for what are essentially starter armies. And remember that the collection is at least 80 issues... * Following the former, they're at least 80 weekly issues. It means that completing the collection will take around TWO YEARS. 9th Edition may have come by then! And it [[Warhammer 40,000 9th Edition|did]]! * The moment the collection went out, many neckbeards started buying numbers like CRAZY which led to a severe shortage in many places. True, 3 intercessors and 3 paints for pocket change IS atractive, but damn... * [[Scalper|Some heretical pieces of shit]] had started selling the freebies of the collection... [[HERESY|as they were their original, store-bought ones!]] It's really jarring and sad seeing someone selling a blue-plastic Primaris Librarian which OBVIOUSLY comes from Conquest at almost store price (2 times and half of what he paid for it). It's sadder that there's people that buys it, specially with the possibility of selling them to the editors themselves... (Even sadder? That was a TRUE STORY) * Some of the paints, mainly the Base ones are intentionaly doubled because they expect you to do the priming with the collection's paints. So be prepared to have several pots of Macragge Blue, Death Guard Green and so on... * The packaging is obviously not meant for miniatures, so there's a (admittedly small) chance that a model comes damaged or twisted, specially with the "fatter" sprues, like the Rhino's. * Some kits require parts from more than one kit, for example poxwalkers from 60 which require parts from two separate issues (33 and 46) in order to complete the kit, but those two issues come with excess parts so to complete those excess parts you need an extra issue (60)...
