RE: Packaging Issues with GW

Shame on me for posting without the codexes to get the terms just right so let me recap.
For the dread, you're right it does have weapons, BUT not all variants are available for the CAN$55 box. It is missing the TL-Heavy Bolters or the Plasma Cannon, or TL Autocannon (which is what I meant, I keep getting those two confused)
For the Sisters, I wasn't talking about a basic troop squad, more the specialist squad that can take all Storm Bolters (can't remember the name, Celestians maybe? ).
Also, try to get a LasCannon/TL Plasmagun Razorback (which is available in the current codex, dunno about the upcoming one). Can't do it, ya gotta build it yourself, or order it separately.
Yes you can order things separate, but it is my personal opinion (opinions may vary) that things should be packaged to reflect the written rules. For example, the SM Tac squad box should include all weapon options on a sprue available to said tac squad in the army list.
The customer should not have to bend over backwards to get the army he wants, especially if we're talking about a few hundred dollar investment to *start* in the hobby.
Don't get me wrong, the game is loads of fun, but I can't say that it's affordable to get into.
