Is there any news on SG activity at GW?

You think at that price they would offer free postage

Wow...not a while ago I almost cut her face off for some spare parts I think i leave her alone now I guess GW could sell her for 20Ł in the online store and people would still buy her.

On the "if GW released <insert favourite figure here> they'd make a mint because they go for <insert ludicrous price here>" front.

The reason they sell for that on Ebay and elsewhere is precisely because GW don't make them. If they did, I'm pretty sure both prices and levels of interest would drop.

My three ha'porth, for what it's worth,

Well Mike, your theory can be tested with the space hulk release.
It looks like prices are already coming down on eBay

I think the limited number and pre-order thing they are doing for space hulk is a testing of the water.
It has been suggested on this site's predecessor as a way to get the rare models back into production just for a small but fully paid for run.

The Space Hulk is very exciting as it does show they do have plans for stuff, albiet 20 years later but they do.

I really believe if they would do more add ons they can make Space Hulk a very lucrative game for them.

IIRC the big problem with most 'old' games is the card printing, and this is likely why SH is a 'limited run', as they don't want to commit to keeping something with so many card sections in stock. Again IIRC card actually costs more to produce that figures, which might be one of the reasons why GW's latest terrain offerings have all been plastic, as in the long run they might actually be cheaper to produce than card buildings, etc...

Good points, I am just happy to see some "life" with Space Hulk and maybe just maybe other games.
