Or, you know, just wait a while and see what happens.

A few months ago, there was nothing, no support whatsoever. Miniatures were disappearing from the webstore left, right and centre, including those that were vital to make certain armies playable in the game. Since then, we've seen a number of these (and others that have been out of production for much longer) re-appear. There are new figures on the horizon, a new book (and more to come). The team responsible has been involved in the community online and on tournaments, sharing information and giving regular updates. None of this chimes with "GW's" behaviour in the past. Nobody expected anything of the sort even mere months ago. So maybe, just maybe, wait a bit longer, and see in what other ways they may behave differently now. They may well visit shows nearby. Or release another figure only available for that appearance near you. Or offer the figures for sale online on the same day it would be available on an event. And even if not, event-only models are hardly a new thing: it's just that GW never did them for LotR before (as far as I remember).

It's good for them to know people are interested in these figures though, so be sure to let them know - it's just that I would reserve judgement until we have more information on which to judge the new team and their actions.

Nothing new really, but Forge world commenting on the subject.

Anyone know why the video is "unlisted" (only viewable through the link and does not appear on the channel)?

It is really hard for a business to support all parties when one product out performs the other. As much as I love LOTR, 40k is where GW makes their money. That's why they dropped everything else.

Since when have you used ANY GW models? Seriously, I've never seen you say that you were interested in any LotR models made more recently than 1989.

Ok, well my point still stands. You complain that GW doesn't have anything new, but even when they DID have new stuff in the last few years, you refused to buy anything.

So old man willow you didn't buy ANY Hobbit line stuff??

There's a lot of plastic but you said resin you don't collect so.....just curious.

Those are all nice e obviously but I really love your river. One of the more enjoyable ones I've seen.

I'm digging the castle courtyard behind the river. They're all really cool though
