A) I read somewhere (Dakka) that they had 1500 Angrons. So by US$81,- it would be over US$ 120.000,- in under 2 hours. Not too shabby for a single 30mm mini in a fancy box.
Funny. I heard they only had 200 to sell. If that is the case, then $16,200 for a couple of hours is nowhere as impressive.
Does anyone know how many they did take to GDUK?

It used to be that Christmas stock was not put on shelves before 4th December, but stores had to order that stock in November.
The main reason stock goes on the shelf so early for events like that is because by law you are required to have items on shelf at whatever price for a certain period of time (28 days IIRC) before you can promote it as being discounted.

I was told, from a source I consider unimpeachable that they brought 1500 Angron models, which sold out within 2 hours.
Also sold out of the 1000 copies of the HH book too, apparently.
People drop crazy money at these things. One person in the FW line I watched handed over £1300 cash for a veritable shopping list of products.
Guess I dropped about £150 on the day.
It's easily done... alas.

£50 for Angron? GW seemed to have done exactly what I hoped they wouldn't. Take an obviously popular figure like a Primarch and then make a small number and event exclusive and charge the earth, just so they can make it as hard as possible for people to buy.
GW really deserve all the third parties that are supplying the models they won't do properly.

Except it's not a small number run figure or event exclusive.
They had 1500 at GD UK as a prerelease, not 1500 produced period.
Forge World actively has stated that the Primarchs are not going to be limited editions.

Indeed.
Given the investment on this project I think we'll see FW keen to sell as many as they can.
I believe Angron, the other models they had on the day and possibly even a few more are supposed to be on general sale in... 2 weeks or so ?
.. One can possibly work this out by checking the dates of the next 2 GDs, IIRC Italy is the next one.. and somewhere else after that.
