The rest of the army is probably already boxed up sitting in a warehouse somewhere, I'm saying they're using it to determine the amount of resources they need to funnel into 2nd-3rd-4th production runs to keep up with demand without creating a huge backstock. They may see the canoness exceed projections by 200% and put some things on hold to get additional stock available.
Except few weeks is still lousy low time. If first wave solds out they are still in for a long time. And this actually will more likely than not DOWNPLAY sales giving
GW the opposite idea. That the SOB aren't going to sell when people are just waiting for more stuff to come so they can start army properly.
Just to use myself as an example it would cost me more to buy me SOB army to buy it in pieces. Especially 1
HQ sized pieces. I would be paying more by ordering canoness and later something more. That's why I always buy models in bigger amounts. Because it saves me money.
GW models are already expensive enough without deliberately burning money by buying 1
HQ in advance before rest come. I can't do with the model squash do until rest gets released anyway so why pay money?
And I doubt I'm only one in the world with the same situation.
