oh good grief: GW Has gone la la!

Words fail me......

[Mr.Marx]

I suppose they.....hark back to an earlier time.....

GW went la la a long time ago, it just appears that the symptoms are becoming more and more obvious.

While I heartily agree with that statement, this should be irrefutable proof to any that still doubt the fact!

WTF are they?
They look like some seriously bad '80's el cheapo toys.

  DAFUQ?

Sorry; I usually stay away from beating the GW horse; it's dead and smashed to a barely recogniseable pulp already, but this takes the cake!

MUNCHKIN!!

Oh the horror, the horror...

[Dolmot]

They just reported £21.3 M profit from £134.6 M revenue so believe it or not, they're better in touch with the reality of their business than most forum commentators who predict the opposite.

[Daeothar]

Yup, and like a certain narcisist football coach over here used to proclaim:

'Am I that smart, or are they that stupid?'

This in relation to the world at large...  

[King Tiger]

And this right here is why I still will not play GW and why I still think they are a poor excuse for a company.

Lowering production costs, reducing staff numbers, closing stores, making more products online only and increasing the price to get profits is not a sign of success

They and their investors surely cry all the way to the bank.

What the hell are those things? I see SM heads but I'm at a loss otherwise.  

[Mr.J]

Somebody will buy them. They always do.

Their reports on their finances was so doctored you could see the bandages on them. The only country to see an increase was the US, their percentage of profit is barely above the cost of operating expenses for a company eacy year...the margins are very low and compared to the last few reports, not that sterling.

Plus some of the pricing is just insane....$30 for a single figure....some of the other kits are a huge jump, even the Eldar release prior breaking some of the boxed sets in half and still charging more for less....

Usually I'm not remotely interested in GW and try to keep my rants to myself, but now I am intrigued because that has to be some of the ugliest things spawned by GW over the last couple of years? Is it something intended for their epic re-launch or are they intended for regular 40k?

The "weapons" make no sense and the  models themselves are both chaotically cluttered with unnecessary details as well as coming off 100% static with those stiff poses.

[Torben]

Sure, they'll be bought and justified, but good god they look really... poor

Sadly, you are both right.

I do think that this proves that their target audience is certainly getting younger by the year.
Pre-school inflatible Spaaaace Marines will be out very soon!
