| Post subject: | Dol Amroth knights and men-at-arms: resin |
I have stopped many times at various local GW to check out these Dol Amroth, but none of the GW I have visited stock them. I have been repeatedly told to place an order via on-line. Unfortunately, I prefer to be able to inspect each resin figure before making a purchase. I have had to deal with too many poorly formed resin figures. My question. Why are Dol Amroth only available on-line? I hope to purchase a warband of knights and a warband of men-at-arms, but will not do so unless I am able to inspect them first. Thank you in advance for insight into this issue. |

It all comes down to shop space ultimately. There'd be no possible way to stock everything available, so a lot of stock in all three ranges gets relegated to online-only. Since attention for LOTR has dwindled over the past few years that means that shop space is mainly given to Fantasy and 40K. I understand your situation entirely though, but having bought a few FineCast Swan Knights myself I can happily say that they were all good quality. Contrary to popular belief the quality of Finecast is steadily improving. I'm unsure about the men-at-arms though. Hopefully someone else who has had experience with them can help out there. |

If you are near warhammer world (GW hq) you can order them off the store and pick them up a couple hours later from the shop. Then you can inspect before leaving. |

The only thing that would worry me about the Finecast Men-at-arms is the pike...... |

Thank you everyone for your replies. I accept the explanation about store space, but area HQ should carry newly released products. Stocking 2 blisters/boxes of each product for a few months after the release date seems good business sense to me. Nevermind... no further comments needed about GW's business practices. Thank you again for your replies. |
