How long has it been like this? I'm a 3rd-4th edition player getting back into it and it's kind of alarming to see. I never remember having a hard time getting units or models. If it came down to it you could special order whatever you needed, including individual bits.
@coyg @xSPYXEx it’s been more of a problem within the past few years: GE’s market has vastly outstripped their production and inventory
Well, their production has only increased a bit while their catalogue has increased by an order of magnitude. Multiple entirely new armies, with a complete refresh of factions and models in the fantasy/40k line. The vortex beast is 11 years old, who knows what condition the mold itself is still in?
Wow. I really liked the GW model and wanted one but if I know it may be impossible to get one I'll have to look elsewhere. They are really pushing their customers into the 3D printing market.
