The problem isn't them supporting stores as that stores have no interest anymore in supporting them. What store wants to keep ordering product lines that do not sell ?! My own venue where I play mechwarrior at still (though I don't run games anymore) has got large stocks of every expansion released between jan 2005 and now. And nobody's buying them anymore. Needless to say mageknight sales have also become non-existant for all the stores and are now stuck with product that's good only as paper weights and cat toys. In terms of PLAYERS... this city has about a million total people living in and around it, and there's only 6 total players of mechwarrior who attend events at the two local venues still running games (and this is the area that produced the only double world champion for the game). I dunno, maybe they just wanna drop the line because an american has never won the world championships for it and its embarassing to keep losing to us canadians every year ?! Anyways, with Heroclix there's maybe a dozen players in town who come to events still. As already covered, all the other lines they pushed out the past couple years have flopped, and meanwhile while they were pushing those lines, including horrorclix, it was at the cost of sucking budget funds away from the other remaining lines that the company was depending on to keep players interested. Also let's not forget the Battlestar Galactica game they came out with, which hasn't done all that well for them either. There's ZERO events being played in all of canada for it, and only 133 total for all the venues in the USA running it for the next five or six weeks. And BG was their latest release before this new star wars game.But yeah, Hasbro must have this wish to lose money or something to be jeopardizing one of their most important licenses by letting wizkids play with it.</blockquote>
