They are doing it to 40K as well: Range Rotation

No Xenos or Choas armies are effected it seems.

Grrr, Imrahil

So that's why the Middle-Earth range has so many units missing...

I'm surprised they'd rotate out some of their beloved Space Marines, but it seems they're all ordinary Space Marines rather than their new poster-boy Primaris Marines.

They'd better not touch Tyranids, Orks or Necrons!

Not yet.

"We don't have enough space" is just a blatant lie. You are a multi-million corporation. Buy some more warehouses.

"We came up with a new buy-now for our product" is more accurate.
 
Wait for GW to decide that Salamanders have had a good run, but they need to be "rested."

Whoa there! If they buy more warehouses, you know they'll push off that cost onto consumers and give us another "sorry guys, prices are increasing again!" Lol/smh.

Also realized that their "considerate heads-up" of the price increase was probably another ploy to just push people into last-minute, current-price-fomo purchases. Oh wellz! Just hoping Eldritch Omens sales much less than they predicted...

That is impressive :wideyed:
 
There's some old foes style boxes for us and the StD. The only difference with buying the stuff seperatly is that you get a print. So, you know, very usefull.

In all seriousness though, what is with GW's hatred of any sort of deal or discount? Is adding in a print really enough to see a spike in sales?

Regular deals and discounts have an impact on customer purchasing decisions and i'd imagine GW doesn't want people to wait for sales. It lets shoppers always indulge on their impulse because they dont fear a discount around the corner.

Just didn't marketing strategies. Discounts and deals can also have the side effect of people devaluing your product. I'd imagine GW's thinking falls somewhere between those two ideas but only guessing.

i think this would be countered by how often GW does timed events. it's hard to wait for sails if they sell out quickly or are gone before you can get them.

I mean, they don't have to do the same ridiculous sales that say Steam does, which is indeed a tactic that can lower the percieved value of your products.

But for bundles like these the whole point is usually that the bundle has a (slight) discount.
Otherwise what's the point? Are those prints so immensly populair they drive sales on their own?

And more generally speaking, the only sale GW ever really does is battleforces. Which is only once a year and for a fraction of their products.
But they never do promotional sales of any kind aside from that. For example; why aren't some fyreslayer & Idoneth boxes put on sale alongside their new tomes and boxed armies? It's the perfect oppertunity for that, you already have hype and a small discount here and there will probably convince some people to finally start an army for those factions. It doesn't even have to be a big sale, and there's ways to encourage impulse buying of stuff they don't really need (e.g. you only get the discount if you buy both a fyreslayer unit and their tome, or only if you buy this specific unpopulair unit). But GW just doesn't do this despite it being very natural and common in nearly every other industry and company, without harming their percieved value.

It's just kind of odd that GW basicly doesn't do it at all.
