It's like some sort of Spider-cat that clings to the underside of the staircase ready to strike at exposed ankles.I doubt most people would want to see my chains of thought <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Ah... another distinction conflict due to language. I would never have considered a teenager a 'child'. A 'minor' perhaps, but I leave 'child' for those under 10.But yes, targeting the kids of 'clueless' parents is always an excellent marketing strategy - get the disposable income and the lack of willpower and discipline in one neat little package.I do that occasionally, but note that purchased GW miniatures is a bit different than RPG purchases. Unless you're constantly switching factions, you start by buying the faction's main army book and then the core models for your army. Beyond that, you pretty much stick to the figures for that army, and the vast majority of those are technically advertised to you in that core army rule book you started with.Some days.On occasion I'm also an elf, a robot, an Elder abomination, and at least one time, a tree.Any specifics? Again, shop organization isn't my specialty, but if the walls are already full and the floor space is reserved for game tables... where exactly is the extra product to go?Gordian knot solution!You know, I never really thought about the gawker effect of seeing other people staring at shop windows. Interesting...My understanding is that there is a pub (Bugman's) in the main GW office. I would imagine that has a bigger impact on their competency than promoting too high.Kill 'em with kindness.Well with the painting and intro game lessons, they already do that good service stuff; you're mainly just suggesting the licensed product addition part.While creating more jobs is certainly a boon for the local economy, good (as in well-run) businesses need to be mindful of costs.I'm not sure what you mean by 'The cost of shipping from FFG are already there.' It's not. As in, currently GW is paying nothing for that, because it isn't done. If FFG was to ship to GW, then there would be an added cost.Knowing is half the battle. Yo joe!I really don't think you're appreciating the difference between a retailer like B&N that stocks other companies' products and gets only a fraction of the profit vs a store like GW that stocks their own product and gets all of the profit. That really is a huge difference.It's relatively easy for a generic retailer to swap one product for another as long as they're getting roughly the same percentage of the profit. It is decidedly different to go from 100% of the profit to a small fraction GW would get from a licensed product.</blockquote>
