Hey all,

So from the discussions I've seen about the place, it seems as though GW are just a few smart choices away from a gold mine.
Instead of making up characters to release, there's plenty of stuff right out of the books and films that, if released, would make GW a heap of cash.

Just to see how accurate my thoughts are though, I figured I'd see how many of these 20, randomly thought of, hypothetical releases all of you would actually buy.

Cheers

Note: I wouldn't buy all of these, but they seem to be the most commonly asked for options. Obviously mention any others which you think would sell well too :)

As a collector I will buy what they release. Though I prefer if they would release 4-5 models a month as opposed to waiting for a year and then releasing 1200 worth of models.

And another ditto. But out of them all the one I would like MOST is resculpted core troops, just so I have a larger variety of poses :)

Redone troop kits would be the best thing, a lot of the old plastics are awful. I'd also buy the hell out of any new Mordor plastics or command sets they put out.

I wouldn't buy any of them because I don't need them, but the vast majority of the stuff on the list would benefit the hobby alot.

I don't think there is any thing on the list as a collector I would not buy.
I don't need anything.
I agree. I can not buy a large release with out budgeting for it.
It is not helpful to keep the release secret. :-X

All the plastic evil ones, especially Mordr Uruks and Khandish. In fact, I need them to be in plastic soon.

lol alright not quite everything. I've been painting and selling my duplicate miniatures on ebay, almost got the new releases covered. Still a bit wary of the whole problems with finecast tho. Would usually place my order online but am going to have to go into GW so I can check them first.

For me, I would like to see a quarterly release schedule. GW has three core systems, so it would work perfectly.

Jan -- Warhammer
Feb -- 40K
Mar -- LotR

This would keep people interested and let them know that SOMETHING is at least coming down the pipeline. Even if it was only ONE kit, there are plenty of holes in the range to allow for a very long release schedule.

Sadly I doubt we'll see any more releases before the hobbit now.

Maybe one more... Hope makes live, as we say in Holland.

I'd buy the core troops, BN's, High Elves and probably Khandish as well, eventually. What I'd like most is a plastic Dwarf Elites set (8 Iron Guard, 8 Khazad Guard, 8 Vault Wardens.
