My local shop has two boxes of Seraphim and an Inquisitor Lord and retinue after more than a year of not carrying anything. NIB Exorcists and Immolators are being sold in large quantities on eBay, more than I've seen in a year. Games Workshop is no longer selling Sister blisters. I watched as a box of 10 Sisters of Battle sold for $90 on eBay.
I sense a terrible time ahead for us Sisters of Battle players. (Inquisition models: I don't care - you can buy that stuff by the bucket used.)
Yes my friends, I believe the purge is upon us. And while there may be hope of a better, more plastic day, for the near future we must suffer. The well is drying up and prices are going bonkers. No longer are the freespirited days when 10 Sisters didn't come directly out of our children's college funds, our 401ks, or the Y2K money we keep hidden in a sock in the third drawer. But the panic only makes it worse.
Damn economists for ever inventing supply-demand. But mostly damn GW for taking away our happiness. Daddy needs his fix!
I won't be taking part in the madness, although I did just buy a non-converted Exorcist... just to be safe. But until sanity returns to the market (may plastic Sisters drop the price), I'm out.
I could always just carve some boobs onto Imperial Guard. That might tie me over.
I too ran into this right before the Space Wolves came out. The pulled the codex off the shelves and stopped ordering squad boxes. I was upset cause I needed two more Grey Hunter squads!
ReplyDeleteYeah this always happens right before a redo of an army. So you can look at it one of two ways. One, I can't get what I need to build up my army. Two, soon I'll have a new codex, with new options, and possibly new models!
So I ordered an Exorcist direct from GW and it just arrived today (slow shipping = 3 days. Woot!) It wasn't inside the ordinary box, just cardboard.
