Scythian Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 The “out of stock” redband for some key items and the length of restocking is getting to be ridiculous! GW has not had Cauldrons of Blood since the release of Daughters of Khaine in March. A friend of mine is also looking to build his warherd list but Minotaurs have also been out of stock for months. Seriously, GW needs to address this issue immediately. No item should ever be out of stock for months. Considering that Daughters is such a hot selling army, how on earth can a person build their list when a premier item for their army is out of stock In perpetuity. Has anyone else been annoyed by this? Does anyone have any inside information about these obnoxious and lengthily out of stock items? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well...I do recall that it has been mentioned that GW has production issues due to the extremely high demand. Hence why they have been investing money into it constantly. If your friend is able he should head down to a GW store, they might have a box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodmaster Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Yep, they are at max production capacity, from what we know. And only part of it is due to them. What doesn't help is the start of two new editions within 12 months, nearly all stiff for specialized games being plastic as well with titanicus coming around the corner and being in high demand and further boxed games and expansions planned.

MacDuff Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I noticed the Stormcast Eternals Lord-Exorcist was out of stock almost immediately on the US GW webstore. Bummed me out; I want him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you can get the Cauldron of Blood set from independent stores. GW tries to stock them up first. A friend of mine got his blood coven box from our local store all while the GW website still listed it as out of stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralZero Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 myrmourn banshee: I couldn't even have them while I pre-ordered them! out of stock (and still are) Dire wolves: out of stock for ages. couldn't fill my cheap death battleline.

Toddy Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Looks like it's in stock now: https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Haq-Queen-on-Cauldron-Blood-2018 What country are you based in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overread Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 GW produces all their models in house in the UK, which means that when production goes up they can't just hire a new factory in China to take increased load. In addition one of their factories is (or at least was a few months ago I've no idea if it still is) underpowered as a result of works being conducted by the local council in the area which affects the power grid. 8th edition 40K also sparked massive sales over their entire 40K range (prettymuch) so GW is at maximum capacity. Use the "email me" button on the GW website as GW does monitor the amount of times that is used within a period of time. If a specific product gets a lot of hits then its likely it will get bumped up the casting list to deal with that demand. Otherwise keep an eye on the 3rd party stores and your local GW store. The GW website can be out of stock but independents and GW stores can still hold stock. This is true even of out of production stock (eg there are still Blood Coven kits going around the system) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanger Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Independent stores and other web shops are also a good source for "temporarily out of stock" stuff. As are other regions. Just a quick look, Cauldron of Blood is only out of stock on the US site. UK, Norway, Germany, Rest of Europe all have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
