Reply To: Trying to keep up with the GW curve before a game disappears

For me, the issue is the time in general nowadays. I stay with the specialist games and collect those at release. I’m trying to build and paint AT and AI mainly at the moment, with Necromunda and Kill-team and blood bowl behind. Black fortress as well. I stay away from anything AoS related ( 9 old WhFB armies) and I kind have given up on 40k, though at some point I’ll pick it up again and finish and update my existing 40k stuff.

 

But it can be a financial commitment just to keep up with one or two systems or even more. And I don’t like the new take of printing just enough to cover the release. Running out of dice and cards and even the main boxes during pre orders is for us the customers annoying as shit. And I have had soo many times issues ordering from the flags preorders not being there or missing out due to availability, that I usually pre-order from a big independent LGS, and the two exclusive stuff from GW at 10 am sharp.

 

From a business point of view it actually makes much sense to produce to little, as you will have no overhead in keeping stock dry and save, you will not have to deal with long term issues and you will create artificial demand for your product. From a consumer point this means impulse buys, no saving up for a buy and higher prices due to lower availability.

 

I like the new GW in general but I  do not like that part.
