[QUOTE="Ssadral, post: 5004209, member: 86090"] Really? Why in the world, you as a game store owner, would open prepackaged dice- specialty dice for one game- to sell them individually, when you could sell the whole pack of dice even if the customer only lost/needed one or two of the dice in the pack? Breaking open the dice pack makes absolutely no sense. Well, I think this is the point. They already have hardcore fans, and any company loves their regulars, but there are two things at work here that most companies know. Even though there is much teeth mashing and hand wringing by their loyal customers, about things like, we don't need a new system, the feel I got from Warhammer is taken out by this new edition etc. is usually short term and most dedicated fans will buy into the new edition. Some won't, but that segment is so small that point number 2 will make up for it. Secondly, Warhammer 3e was created to bring new blood into the fold. And, making a big splash like this they have the gaming world all a buzz and people who had never considered Warhammer before are now looking at it. And, as many dedicated fans they may lose, is made up ten fold by new blood. You see it all the time... with the biggest example being D&D 4e. [/QUOTE]
