I spotted 5 boxed sets on Saturday in the local toy shop. Really surprised they have it as they seem to only have paints and 40k stuff (catering for the "young" demographic).

Rumours abound that it ain't.

Got told on Friday that GW is recycling the remaining unsold Dreadfleet, and that source is very reliable.

Well White Dwarf has been pushing Dreadfleet quite heavily with a cut off of the end of Jan as the last sale date. Quite sad really as it's quite a cool little set. I think GW was thinking that it was going to have the same/better uptake as Space Hulk did.
Yeah, it didn't seem to have massive demand. I did ok out of it after buying a bulk load. I got a good bit of cash for two painted sets, and broke down two others and sold them, but the interest wasn't anything like as big as Space Hulk. I don't think it's a bad game. If you are after a fun diversion that doesn't need too much tactical insight it's fine, but if you want an expandable seafaring strategy wargame, it's no good at all, and I think that's put a lot of folks off... that and the lack of Space Marines!
