Magic Cards

Post by dusk1983 »

Hello, friends!

A bit of news re: our coming release. Here in Australia the GW website already says that the Magic deck is no longer available. I've since called my local store to guarantee a deck from them come Saturday with my name on it.

I don't know about other countries but it might be a good idea to get in fast just in case.
...So if you're addressing me direct, just call me Lance or Dusk, no 1983 please.

I forgot to order my copy :'( GW properly only printed 5 sets because of the smallish number of players ;)

Yeah they sold out really fast on the uk site too, so did the Ltd Edition. I guess there are more wood elf fans out there than anyone predicted.

I can't believe GW is willingly throwing away money by not re-printing these cards. Mind blowing business practice.

Its often the same with other companies with few customers. For some reason low sales equals low production. An example from my home towns bus infrastructure. Back in the day (70's and 80's) there where bus stops everywhere. As more and more people got cars more and more stops were closed. The situation is now so ridiculous that there are only two routs left to serve 25000 people. The stops are far between and the two busses go to all of them. Meaning that a trip that might take 10 min on bike takes twice as long with the bus. Same goes for GW. Few play Wood Elves so they don't update them for years = even fewer players = longer between updates = fewer players ect. :P

Less people get the bus so they put the price up then more people get a bike and then they put the price up again etc soon it becomes cheaper to get a taxi haha I wonder if that's what will happen to GW ?

That properly will happen to GW as well since CEOs most have read the books on company management ;)

I opted to order through my LGS because they are serial complainers that not enough people order their gear through them. I turned in my order the day preorders went up. I found out Monday that they elected to wait to turn in the order to GW on the day they normally order GW stuff… Today… :thumbsdown: I will be irate if I missed out on the cards because my LGS store owner fumbled this. :(

I imagine you'll be fine. Like my initial post said, the *website* says NLA but each store will have ordered some in specifically for the release. Anything left over in stores will get sent back to centra warehouse eventually as unless this release changes everything, we're a niche market, and tying up stock to a single location where it will sell only on an off chance to a local vs. making it available to an entire nation makes no sense. Unless all the stores sell out, they should hopefully be on the site again soon.
...So if you're addressing me direct, just call me Lance or Dusk, no 1983 please.

I've never understood why the faction specific magic cards are, for all intents and purposes, limited editions. Cards like that are not especially expensive to produce--at all.

So cheap on G-dub's part.
