Icegoat Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Last Friday I was emailed by games workshop to say the demigryph knights were back in stock on the UK store. I needed them so immediately bought a box . Sunday evening they were already back out of stock? Are these GW most popular kit. I've never experienced anything go out of stock so quickly. When are they going to update free peoples for Aos. Seems crazy if they are that popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenshin620 Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Or maybe the shipment wasn't very large? If they got only 30 boxes and 30 people wanted them, well there goes that stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaldoBeardo Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Yeah, don't confuse demand outstripping supply with objective popularity. See also; "Mantic". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucio Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 It's entirely possible that kits are being kept low in stock in preparation for a new release later in the year. After seeing the Beasts of Chaos release, I could easily see a similar trick to do a "Free Guild" or "Cities of Sigmar" release that combines the Free People, Ironwield Arsenal and Collegiate back into a single army.

Overread Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 A combined human faction just has to happen; or two or three of them. At the very least they need one since the Realms have humans in abundance. As for stock that varies a lot; might be that GW sent a lot to 3rd parties and their own stores for resupply so without knowing how much they hold in stock its hard to say how good demand is. That said its a great kit and that there is still demand for it is a positive thing for human factions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thought of Free People getting my Gyrocopters instead of the Dispossessed makes my heart hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asking because I had a Luminark of Hysh I ordered a while ago that had just finished being out of stock in a similar manner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swarmofseals Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 It all depends on how much stock was added. I think sometimes GW shifts some stock around from region to region when something is sold out locally, but it's usually not much. The Cauldron of Blood kit has been sold out for long periods this year in the US, and I've seen it come back into stock several times only to sell out again in days of not hours. It's currently out of stock again. As far as I know it's never been out of stock in the UK. My best guess is that each time it restocks it's just a few kits arriving in the US from somewhere else, which of course causes them to sell out quickly. It's also possible that GW is generally maxed out on production but can occasionally squeeze out a small supply of out of stock kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjnoronh Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Also demigriphs are popular for retro 8th ed players and Kings of War and 9th Age players. Not just AoS customers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
