The counter to that is occasionally what customers want...is terrible business.    You can't win them all.

See above. Also, who plays fantasy and 40k used to vary greatly depending on geographic region. Some areas had a lot more fantasy and some a lot more 40k. The area near me had quite a few fantasy players who just ended up quitting GW altogether.

I was always under the impression that the UK/Europe liked Fantasy much more than the US market, because our culture/history doesn't go back to the Middle Ages and is much more closely associated with guns.  That could be complete BS, but I know I heard it somewhere.

I suppose on a cultural level it is a little easier for us to insert ourselves into the fiction here in the uk, not just historically, but also due to all the references to then contemporary Britain that got chucked into warhammer during its early period.
 
this may also be why i see more american AoS players online than uk ones, as the type of fantasy being presented is a more contemporary warcraft style that can be related to without much cultural context to read into.

I could see that definitely, although just about every design decision they've made with AOS is on that doesn't appeal to me.

Well, GW not only got themselves back on facebook, but they were at a con this weekend and not only did they show off the new lost patrol game and bloodbowl box but they gave an actual interview and an unboxing about lost patrol! It's gonna be about $60/£40 , and looks pretty nifty.

Slowly, surely, it seems the filth of Kirby is washing away.

They were at Salt Lake Comic Con in September of last year promoting the hell out of AoS.

Looks like they finally got around to squatting the Bretonnian line - most of it is no longer available and sold out. 

I did manage to order some questing knights, as I always wanted some of those...

Khemri too, they sold off the stock it seems. I had to get a war sphinx....

Never liked how they split the undead into two separate lines.

I've always wantedthe men at arms but never got round to getting them, and you know what, i can live with it,because i know i'd never actually get round to painting them. But still, I feel a little sad to know i don't ave the option now.

[Timbor]

Well, the men at arms should not be hard at all to find on the second hand market... its the cooler stuff like the questing knights and trebuchets which are harder to find!

Wanted a sphinx myself, just missed out on them on the US store. Found one on b-town for under retail so pretty happy with that.
