Cutting out more factory retooling/moldmaking will also save huge amounts of money.

Also everything in the 40k collector range either got their update (Chaos Space Marines) or according to the Rumor Tarot will get their update soon (Imperial Guard, Space Marines, Orks).<br /><br />As far as the specialist games go, I have everything except Warmaster, and I have no intention on playing with ANY of it, i have them because either they were given to me, or i bought it because it looked cool, but the demand for those games is so small, that it's only logical to stop production.<br /><br />Halting production of these areas and selling the Metal Presses will probably free up space in the production facility and either make room for more plastic production, or warehouse space, only keeping around enough machines to produce the high volume metal / resin models.<br /><br /><br />They did something similar to this in the US with Plastic Production.<br /><br />Adeptus Hobbyisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04457537244818321196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195382392714943771.post-64188183181917613842013-05-03T16:15:39.747-07:002013-05-03T16:15:39.747-07:00Only things I want out of that list is Nork and th...Only things I want out of that list is Nork and the Last Chancer's.<br /><br />Donald duck is at the crossroads with a machinegun.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195382392714943771.post-67003075880237278512013-05-03T13:31:05.205-07:002013-05-03T13:31:05.205-07:00I think you may be right about an impending sale (...I think you may be right about an impending sale (not because I have any info or facts). <br /><br />They've really been on the offense for the last several months...<br /><br />-attacking any perceived enemy (small-time authors and sites that unwittingly promote them, of all things).<br /><br />-shut down any direct venues to comment/criticize (i.e. GW Facebook page), because apparently addressing criticisms is beneath them.<br /><br />-quietly killed off games that fans like but aren't profitable to them (since there's no large buy-in like there is for WFB and 40K).<br /><br />My question is, will this possible sale just continue down this same path of "raise prices, ignore customers" or will a potential investment firm gut the company for profit, killing off GW altogether? Either way I'm certainly planning to consider alternatives to GW products...they'll either be too much (like they aren't already!) or 100% OOP.mafiacheesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13028877696626471355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195382392714943771.post-25605694048305412032013-05-03T12:27:36.397-07:002013-05-03T12:27:36.397-07:00Or they may revamp some of these games with new pl...Or they may revamp some of these games with new plastic/finecast sculpts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195382392714943771.post-51603253761804591622013-05-03T11:44:00.035-07:002013-05-03T11:44:00.035-07:00Hey, this is help for second-hand companies as now...Hey, this is help for second-hand companies as now I'm justified in looking for Necromunda bitz from there.
