Still lots of summer left. Mini 3 pro

@simsurf1 Correct. That also sucks.

The WCE have struggled for years. Despite this in 2025 they had a 107k members only 5k less than Collingwood. 15k more than Richmond. This week they play away to Port. The time provided for this game means their fans are watching at 10am. National competition? Give it a spell!

My banite zhentarim agent drow feels attacked by this post. It hasn't been easy matching my goals to the party, but ive done some secret stuff on the side. He is lawful evil as opposed to stupid evil which means i recognise havent a party around me is a lot better than alone

@simsurf1 @Chainsword40k >double reply Seems like a response from someone with no hat in the race

Ok, so let me explain, because some of you dumbfucks have no idea how GW operates. First of all, these are not preorders, they are presales. Preorders work like this: you order something before it’s produced, and the company manufactures it based on customer demand. For example, if a preorder is six months away, the company knows how much they can produce in that time. GW Made-to-order stuff works this way. With presales, production is already done. The moment you see “next week preorder,” the stuff was already produced 3 to 6 months before. GW bases production on data and produces anywhere from a few thousand to hundreds of thousands of boxes. Keep in mind that GW has finite production capacity, they aren’t making one boxset every six months; they’re making many, and they also need to supply standard items that sell consistently, like basic Intercessors. When the "next week preorder" article drops, the product is allocated to stores. Stores already know the price before the preorder because they had to place their orders in advance. Usually, stores pay around 50% of MSRP. How many boxes a store gets depends on the store size, your relationship with GW, how close you are to the sales department, and probably the phase of the moon, because the same store might get 3 boxes in one preorder but 50 in the next, depending on underproduction or overproduction. By the time you can preorder, the store already has that stuff in stock, they just can’t sell it yet due to GW rules. Break those rules, and GW can terminate your deal, you get nothing. If your store’s sales rely on Warhammer, you’re fucked. GW also keeps some backup stock for LGS and their own stores in case of issues like missing sprues, damaged shipments, etc. But that stock is finite, they can’t just make more on the spot because the boxes and books are printed in China, and that takes time. So, to sum it up: if you see "sold out" on GW’s store or any LGS, it doesn’t automatically mean something is popular. It could, but it could also mean stores were undersupplied, GW underproduced, or scalpers bought it all. A few words about scalpers: GW doesn’t give a fuck. If it sells, they don’t care who bought it, unless there’s some backlash online. Then they implement half-assed protections that usually fuck over normal buyers, because scalpers find ways around them anyway. LGSs can scalp too, and it happens more often than you realize, they might only sell 5 boxes even if they got 30 and scalp the rest. So no, Custodes being sold out doesn’t automatically mean it’s popular.

@STrongestPeon @Chainsword40k the only other things that sold out were 2 books and dice. You think scalpers are buying blood bowl dice? lmao or maybe somethings are just popular

@simsurf1 @Chainsword40k No hat in the race im just obviously agitating someone making a reasonable and reserved point that doesn't condemn the product in any manner

@Balam_GF13 @Chainsword40k nobody buys rules books and if they do its for the art or lore

@Chainsword40k >boxes are out of stock >all rulebooks still in store Waos, they're so popular and definitely not grabbed by scalpers.

As with every preorder of a limited box set, stores get limited allocations and scalpers buy up entire stocks, but sure, people buy it because femstodes are popular.

With the cavaliers sacrificing themselves and bogging down some enemy the sigmarites with faith and black powder rebuffed the rampaging khorne warrirors

@simsurf1 No I wanna learn. And that requires asking questions that may or may not be stupid, so fucking what? The best way you learn is to ask questions.

How does a pre order sell out?

@Chainsword40k so the facts you were missing are the most important pieces lmao

@simsurf1 The only things I don’t know are how much was produced and how many units were sold by GW; everything else is based on facts.

Jeff Easley (1954, Kentucky) is a traditional oil painter and a key figure in the visual identity of classic fantasy. Influenced by Frank Frazetta, he developed a clean, epic style focused on dragons, warriors, and creatures. In 1982 he joined TSR, where he produced many of the most iconic covers for Dungeons & Dragons, helping define the genre’s visual language in the 1980s.

@simsurf1 First time actually focusing on miniatures.

@Chainsword40k You have no idea either, so your paragraphs of text are worthless. I am not on any side apart from watching 40K drama queens.

@simsurf1 Unless you have data on how many boxes were produced, how many were bought by genuine customers versus scalpers, and how many of those buyers actually wanted femstodes, the only copium is on your side, thinking this sold because people wanted femstodes.

@Goldietheswag3 then how do you not understand preorder boxes sell out every week

@simsurf1 I only bought models like 1 or 2 weeks ago. x.com/Goldietheswag3…

@nuhre_ I heard you love veilguard

There are people out there, breathing the same air as me for free, who genuinely think I like Veilguard. Me. Of all people. You can call me a grifter, a bigot, a bitch, a slut... but I draw the fucking LINE at Veilguard enjoyer.
