You do realize molds cost money, right? That GW can't magically make products appear out of thin air? It's massively cost inefficient to do everything you need to do to put a new model into production for something that's literally only going to ever be available for two days.

>>46467457
You can't actually be trying to tell me that producing a single model on a sprue seven dollars less than a multi sprue vehicle, like a rhino.
I understand that it's going to cost more than 1/5 of a 5 man tac squad, but I still feel that $30 is excessive, even for nostalgia value.

>>46467614
Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. Molds are expensive. When GW put out a new model, their pricing is based on the assumptions that they will get YEARS of use out of it. With this they have TWO DAYS.

>>46467066
Cool model but I'll give it a miss.

>>46467711
I'm a whore for exclusive stuff

>>46467705
Ah, I got molds and sprues mixed up in my head, I see what you're saying. Fair point, then.

>>46467705
given how jewy GW is of laate it's a wonder they're even doing this at all

I'd rather use the $30 to buy another master grade.

Maybe the solution is to not waste money on moulds that will only be used for 2 days or only sold at one physical store on the entire planet or any of the retarded shit GW has been doing. Maybe they should instead use that money to make normal releases for armies that are still waiting for shit. But what would I know, I didn't drive a company that had a near monopoly into the ground.

>>46467990
what I want to know is why not just have it run the entire year?
why waste money on the mold and not sell the shit out of them?

It has rules

I'll probably buy one, or two and sel the other on ebay when it's out of stock.

>exclusive
>for @1day

In a week it will have been featured in consecutive WDs and be available via mail-order, in stores, and on eBay and Craigslist, etc. So, by the time you get it painted, no one at the club will look at him twice. Maybe that works for some, but I have other financial priorities.

Pass.

>>46468338
I could only assume that they want it to be an "exclusive" thing as to increase demand.

>>46469127
That strategy hasn't worked for GW yet despite them trying.

I'll have one as a Gue'vesa captain, I guess.

What are they going to do for the 20th anniversary of the Sisters of Battle models next year?

>>46471867
Melt them all down and sell the ingots as collector's items.

So, a bad management choice justifies a retarded pricing option? Sounds like someone sure is "Gee-Dubs target audience" there. $30 for a plastic clone of an old-school marine = Retarded. If they had wanted to celebrate - why not release an entire box of plastic Beakies? Apparently offering value for money is still against GW's 'core values'. And these clueless douche-waffles wonder why their sales continue to plummet in spite of pumping out new products at an ever increasing rate.

Its 30$ and they are literally only selling it for 1 day only.

>>46467066
Way too expensive but fuck it, I'll buy it anyway
