So I have been waiting for the store to pop back up saving my money to buy the "new shinies" from gencon, but they are not on there. Everyday multiple times per day I have checked the website for the store, looking at the page that said "Webstore available soon adding new shinies". But when it finally came up I was disappointed to see that there were no new shinies. In fact there was even less shinies than when it went down.
I am fairly new to Malifaux and have been gradually adding minis here and there to my collection. I attended Gencon but some of the new releases of the Malifaux stuff was sold out and I really wanted to spend $100 for Miss Ery. For the past couple weeks I have been saving my money that I could've used on other items; to put towards Malifaux so that I could increase my collection. It is getting difficult for me to get into Malifaux because around here my FLGS it seems there's a lot of interest but lacking product, and some committment, because of product release. 3 players have crews, and 2 players are waiting for the new stuff. I talked to another store owner that said "Last Gencon was the same way. New product got released and then it took Wyrd forever to get it restocked. And interest died down."
I was really hoping to get the Hired Guns crew, and the scheme deck at least.
But anyways I am dissapointed that the store finally came up with less shinies. Looks like I will be spending my money elsewhere as who knows how long it is until the new product becomes available. Malifaux is really frustrating me, not only because it's hard to get people to commit (and paint their stuff so we can play), but because of instances like this. It's confusing because product is released either a lot later than anticipated or in very limited supply then forever later.
I don't know maybe in a day stuff will be up, but don't advertise new shinies, then bring up the store with less shinies.
