Ah, so rather than being asleep in The Rock, Johnson, in fact, went on to work for Voldemort after the Heresy?

Nah, he just got old, cut his hair, and become a really crappy dad.

Sorry no disrespect, and I am sure they are beautiful but why should I? I mean if I can't buy it, and FW can't be bothered to sell it except for mail order, why should I bother. It's a no thank you, no matter how good it is. If they can't bother to sell, I can't bother to look and or buy. At least sell it at a GW store so I don't have to have over seas shipping. I don't even want to see since to me it's a I might love it, but can't have it.

Funny we say for GW to get with the times, and they are with the times with a lot of things being sold on the internet but I want the good old fashion going to a store and buying something and leaving with something right away. I remember when we use to be able to buy Forge World books at the GW store. I just wonder why we can't buy FW minis in a GW store.

Because they're a niche product that would be taking up room in a GW store and probably wouldn't sell that much to be worth it. Lots of other boutique model companies don't sell their stuff in stores I'm sure.

Thanks for the answer. Funny, I thought GW was a niche product. I am sure FW would sell more if they were in GW stores as well. I know I would have bought a lot of FW back in the day when I use to play. I guess I got my answer. GW doesn't want to compete with it's self. I never thought of it that way.

Thanks again. I appreciate the answer. Now I know.

Dang, I looked. Now I want. Still applies though. I can't buy it. Now I am sad.

Well yeah GW is a niche product, and FW is a niche within a niche... I would love FW to be available in stores (mainly to avoid the shipping, 12% shipping when I live like a 4 hour drive from the factory is ridiculous), but I don't know if it would sell enough to take up space that could hold better selling items.

The GW here in Las Vegas has at least 2 primarchs in the customer display case, and there's probably at least some major Lord of War model in like... every army from the regular players.

It'd sell, is all I'm saying. It'd sell better than the GW proper stuff that's comparable in price.

Oh yeah im sure it would sell. It's still a risk on their part though. And seeing as they do no kind of market research...
