Hey cb, would it be possible to integrate an option to search the store for minis that go out of production. I know you can mark that on the units site but a sorting option or tag in the product would really help to find out what to buy before it gets gone. I also noticed that i cant click on page number behind the ... . Like "1 (click) 2 (c) 3(c).... 7 (notclicable)" And check the red oop boxes you but on the units. I vagely remember in the mo-clean up some units displayed their releases date and not the oop date.
So shop now puts a fat red "last chance" mark on soon to be oop models previews in the general list. Please make this a searchable tag too. It still isn't or atleast "last chance" doesnt work as a search term.
As someone returning from a long while back this would be a handy feature in so much as being able to see what the old and new sculpts were like. So far I've had to use the Human Sphere website to get somewhat updated on the changes in the model range. That said I don't know if hte store would be the best place for this, it might confuse the very new if they wind up seeing huge numbers of sold out/off sale models and might give an impression that the game is suffering when so much appears gone. It's the kind of thing that would work in the profiles for each faction - a short quip on each model and a show of its history as well as a show of the historical models for those fully removed. Speaking as someone returned after a long time away (and thus basically new) I'd say I found resources like the HS website of great help in orientating myself to what goes into sectorials and into the armies and the general lay of the land model wise. The Army builder is a powerful resource, but its too wordy and technical and not visual enough for a new person to easily get to grips with; and it doesn't in any way link up to the models on sale nor show any that have had updated sculpts or such.
Yeah, CB had a site with all of the official "gray background" painted model images for all the units, current and past, but they've unfortunately removed it and a lot of those images are lost now.
My request would be that once a particular sculpt goes OOP, the SKU is permanently retired. When I’ve tried to track down older sculpts for collecting reasons, it gets very difficult sometimes to confirm what you’re actually buying when an SKU is used over multiple resculpts.
