@Chainsword40k On a semi-related note: there are 3 male and 3 female bods in the custodian guard unit box, so to make a normal unit you will have to buy 2 boxes

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.

I desperately need a video game to sink my teeth into. I’ve always just played whatever shooter is popular at the time (fort, warzone, arc) but I need something else Are any of the sports games good these days? I used to rip those like crazy but haven’t in years. Taking all recommendations

Oh FFS. You can’t make this sh*t up. Even the dogs are tired of these clowns. Don’t pretend to be a dog if you aren’t ready to go toe to toe with them.

@CJstillyoung @AlanRMacLeod so kinda like the US before gay marriage was legalized federally. You can't get married in Iowa, but fly to Massachusetts and it's fine. And it was still considered illegal then.

@AlanRMacLeod It's not illegal, it's just not performed domestically. You can be as gay as you want and gay marriage performed abroad is fully accepted. But great spin 😂

At this point, I'm not sure that any of the Clan Wolf decks my son and I have put together have lost yet in the Battletech CCG. I guess there is something to that plot armor after all.

@Dexerto So now because people aren’t interested in playing something it means we hate game developers? Make it make sense.

Half-Life writer Chet Faliszek has called out 'haters' who hope that games fail “If you hate game developers, you hate games ... If you’re cheering on for things to fail, if you think game developers have no idea about games, and only you ... just keep it to yourself”

Becoming a Mechwarrior I just received my box of Battletech: AGoAC 40th Anniversary edition, and I must say, it completely blew my mind. The box has pretty much everything for me to start! I wished GW were this generous with their WH40K 😆

That being said, I read that the anniversary edition includes the Il-Khan era, way ahead than my starting choice, which is the post-4th Succession Wars 👀

Bugmechomology I just got myself the Battlemech: AGoAC 40th Anniversary Edition and Inner Sphere Support Lance as little presents for myself. The design of Locust and Spider caught my interest, and I can’t wait to get my hands on them 🙂

@SwingVoter20 @AP Considering actual prices on most things have not increased much in the last year, and have increased much slower than the under the previous administration, you are paying less than you would have under a Kamala admin
