Reply To: Is GW's constant "limited release" marketing starting to bite back?

Regarding necromunda gang cards, I heard they are available for free to download on the community site.

Means you gotta make them into cards yourself or whatever else works. I’m guessing the cards are made by a third party and costs GW more to purchase. Given its for a smaller game, and not an essential component I can see why they don’t wanna keep cards for more than a limited release. Probably have a minimum order amount from manufacturer too that they may not be confident in being able to move.

Regarding scalpers. Do what Kingdom Death does, limit of one per customer. Won’t eliminate all scalpers, but they can’t just add 10 to the order.

Best way to beat scalpers. Don’t buy from them. None of these products are necessities. You don’t need to buy toy soldiers.

We’d like to buy them, sometimes we reeeeeaaaally want a specific release, but I’d rather not have a coveted mini/box than feed a scalper. Because feeding them means they’ll keep doing it.
