Seems stuff sold out faster than they expected, so some stuff is going to be made in small quantities (https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Warhammer?N=102295+4294965240&Nu=product.repositoryId&qty=12&sorting=rec&view=table&categoryId=cat440002a-flat)

Brace yourselves!

I think it's rather good of them (for both themselves and customers). We've already been told that avoiding some cataclysm the legacy Warsrcolls are going to stay (and presumably anyone who wants them already has them). If there's a bit of demand left why not provide for it. I wonder what the sales figures are like, best for Brets in a long time I suspect?

Who knows!

Though I'm sure there'll be some claiming this somehow cheapens stuff.

Probably nasty little parasites who bulk bought to sell on at an artificially inflated profit.

Well, it *is* a bad look, when they were killing off a lot of this because of "lack of demand," and now they're seeing there *is* demand. But in some cases, like Brets, the neglect coming from the company was making it hard for people to justify the price, even if they liked the figures. I felt like Brets looked like a fun army to paint, but not much fun to play due to being left alone, so I directed my hobby money elsewhere.

It's like the End Times mess, where they assumed there wasn't much interest in WFB (to the point they were prepped to kill it), just because they didn't actually pay attention and realize the neglect (plus driving the price up to be prohibitive to beginners) was what was killing it, not people having no interest in the game or the products.

It's a lesson, kids: Pay attention to your customers and don't hunker down in your bunker swearing you know best, because you might leave money on the table.

At least this way people get another last chance to grab models they loved, and GW makes more money off of models they'd determined they couldn't make money off of.
