  1. Seems like a bit of a misnomer to be calling them "free" or "freebies" really. They aren't "free" as if GW is doing you a big favour to their own detriment, they are just boxes with slightly lower profit margins for GW. That may not even be the case either, as the form factor of the boxes and the higher purchase price to shelf/container space etc may actually mitigate the lower face profit vs individual sales etc. On top of that, the boxes often seem to throw in units that are often not that great / optimal in actual game terms and would likely not be recommended / bought as a first set if people were buying these boxes individually. So you could say it's not much of a deal at all if taking that perspective, which seems just as valid as calling them "free" models. If you want your army so only consist of those units sold in the SC. But if the bundle was called "saver bundle" or "battleforce" I feel like most peoples opinion on "should only be buying one" would change. Also, it's not a simple thing to say that its bad for profit to allow people to collect armies more cheaply, since it's not easy to account for the benefits of further saturation / increased sales volume etc. People getting armies cheaper doesn't inherently mean less profit. Feels a little bit like I see you chip in to be antagonistic toward people instead of actually engaging with them regarding their views. You replied again here and expanded a bit on what you were thinking but your first post was literally Which is not only worthless but essentially inflammatory if you ask me. Anyhow, this is the rumour thread and this is probably just going way off topic...
  2. With the chaos mammoth being discontinued, I'd doubt that. Unless they've been hiding a plastic one, which I also doubt. 😔
  3. I haven't looked at their reports, but are you getting that number by removing all of their expenses barring those inherently required to make the products? If they have invested in a new factory etc for example, then that would eat into the profit heavily and simply looking at profit vs revenue would not tell you how much they make on kits. Especially so if they have made large purchases recently that are not likely to be a quarterly / yearly etc outlay which reduced profit. Another aspect as well is do they break down sales from China made stuff separately too (I doubt it) ? That would also have different profit margins. If you lump them together you wouldnt get an accurate number for either.
  4. Friend was at GW yesterday and was told by staff goblin tome in next couple weeks Is this confirmed?
  5. Goblins or riot. (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Nurgle bloodbowl looking awesome though.
  6. To be fair he did say one of, not the first. That said, there aren't any 'wow' aspects to the new tome for sce, at least not for me. A little disappointing but not entirely unexpected.
  7. The more I see it, the more I'm praying for an alternate head New scion is awesome though, it really sucked how it felt practically a non factor before.
  8. Does stormcaller specify unit? I hope this isn't another evocators style unclear wording. Even when the intent is somewhat obvious.
  9. I mean, it looks somewhat prone to drooling. Wouldn't want to mess up his shiny armour ?
  10. Oh dear. Now the melee special rule makes sense. Every time they wound it in melee they might gaze upon its majestic face and risk letting their guard down in a fit of laughter.
  11. I sincerely hope it comes soon, my goblins have waited long enough to see battle! ?
  12. Personally I'd err toward goblin and slaanesh based on the preview pics.
  13. Oh nice, I love naruto! ? I hope its moonclan goblins ?
