What should a story carry as "core" products for Malifaux?

[leawelter]

I am a manager of a gaming store and I am wondering what Malifaux models would be considered "Core" or must haves for a store.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'd say core stuff to have in stock would be:

 

- The books (A few of the M2e and Crossroads "big books" (1-2 copies of each), plus a bunch of the Mini-rulebooks (4-10 copies)) 

- Fate Decks (4-10, there's a few different types but they're all functionally the same)

- Schemes and Strategies decks (2-4)

- Arsenal decks (1 of each deck, or 2 of each if possible, there's currently 2 different decks/faction for 14 total arsenal decks)

 

Then as far as models go, it's good to have a selection of Crew Boxes, preferably some from each faction and the more variety the better.  

 

Beyond that, try to get one of everything new that comes out (they are things that new and veteran players may want/need), and try to let players know what is coming so that if they want something in particular you make sure you have enough stock coming in.

At least one, preferably all three, crew box(es) from the first book for each faction, and a smattering of smaller boxes. If that's more than you want to dive in, one crew box from each of the "Suit" factions (Guild, Arcanists, Resurrectionists, Neverborn), along with the stuff posted above (books and decks).
