On the topic of Liang Kai and the statue he's standing on, might be some relation to this guy. Maybe as a recreation he's had a crisis of faith in god and himself as a construct leading to the pose and wandering nature.
Frankly, if that's why? That is dumb. Nothing is preventing stores from doing the same thing now just outside of a corporate account.
Just to clarify, it was not due to ill behaviour. It was due to a problem with distribution. As the extra mini isn't packed inside the box, many distributors lost it on their warehouses as they didn't understand that was part of a bundle. So they ended having a lot of disgruntled customers with no mini and a lot of distributors with minis they didn't know where they got them from... It was chaotic and gave a lot of problems on previous promotion campaigns so CB decided to cut that.
Shittier profit margins now harder to move them in bulk or quickly especially when there's regular sculpts available.
so, because distributors messed it up, LGS have to get the hit? That seem wrong to me. Well, is not the first time something similar happened, but if small LSG stop giving support because only the big ones have access to this kind of products (they have means to), the small comunities will dissapear little by litte (I have seen it before for other games, and I am pretty sure a lot of other people here did too), and that is not good
Yeah, just saw the price of shipping to get Liang Kai from CB. More than the model himself, fuck that.
21 EUR to ship to Canada. Real shame I can't just order it through my hobby shop. You know, to support the game's actual presence in stores.
My usual Infinity order place in the UK (The Outpost) has him up for order too. I'm assuming they're doing a group order or something. It is a shame he's not available through stores normally like previous examples have been.
Not really, that's not how you ship 10 bundles, you want to ship one box of neatly arranged core box and one for the rest of the bundle instead instead of 3 boxes with wrapped bundles that take more space
Well, more monks will be a reality now :) Hopefully it is not too long before we see draft models for the updated sculpts
