When is GW supporting anything? Even Warhammer and 40K are just games that let them sell more miniatures, Both system are all broken beyond all repair, and both system are so out dated (it is unsalable), it is basically a hobby for the fan boys with all their hard earned cash... $12 for a metal miniature? Sure, are they made of silver or gold? Not even gold or silver plated...
Then it is the question of when this 3rd edition will be all gone? Several years ago, I stupidly brought their 3rd edition reprint of Talisman for $75 plus shipping. And now it only worth around $45, while several more new edition of Talisman have be released and then FFG take over... And all knows the story... And yes, GW has not re-release the re-release again (that is their promise), but at that high price of an item, how long will it took them to sell out? At an economy like this? a couple of months? and then what? A game without support, even if it is a good game, is as good as dead. Sure they want our money, but then after a year or two, nobody else is playing it any more (just like my first edition sitting in my closet), and they don't care. It is us gamers who cares, but they have our money already :) --- Ken --- On Fri, Sep 4, 2009 at 4:21 PM, Casey Rogers <[email protected]> wrote: > Oh I don't doubt Games Workshop is hyping it up to sell as many copies as > possible.
