I would suspect that if there is a surge right now, it would be prompted by people trying to cash in on peoples' reluctance to buy 'Fine'cast.

That's a good point, I didn't think of that at all.

Personally i do not care if the model is a recast copy or what ever have you, as long as i am aware of it and can make an informed decision on the purchase. Keeping that in mind, i will buy knock offs and sleep well at night, if a company does well for its consumer base then it will not need to worry about copies, and if it does not then it deserves what ever it gets.

Case in point, Wolf guard terminators, optimum loadout for this guys is cyclone, combi-weapon and power weapon, ciclone power and sb for standalone cheap units. Out of this, in a box of 5 get a grand total of 2 power weapons and 5 stormbolters. That´s it. So what in gods green earth, would motivate me to buy an expensive item that comes with missing parts?. Following my thought above, i purchased 10 recasted torsos and legs, 20 recasted shoulderguards, 20+ gray knights terminator arms and storm bolters, and since some of the parts would be rather frail done in resin, ill buy 10 "original" gray knights terminators power weapons. I get 10 full figures at the price of a little over 5, less if i would ordered everything together instead of dragging up the project.

Another option is to buy a box of termies and get torsos shoulders and legs to use with the spares, would not be optimum but would make you more wolves.

It's a pretty bad sign if people are buying the recasts 'for quality' rather than their price.

Well, granted i am quite possibly not your average gamer, but incomplete sets are a rather important quality issue for me.
