Out of curiosity have Games Workshop ever done a Black Friday thing?
They used to do regular sales decades ago, much of my lead mountain is figures bought ridiculously cheap then that I intended to paint and sell but which I never got round to doing.
I'm doing my sci-fi RPG stuff in 20mm because I was able to snaffle around 150 Dark Future figures, including things like bikes and trikes, for a fiver because they were going to be returned to HQ and melted down otherwise as the line was being discontinued. Happy Days!
These days I suspect they are big enough not to need to, though it's about 20 years since I bought more than individual figures from them, so perhaps they do and I've missed out.
