Jervis has put an interesting explanation of the specialist games sales logic over at the playtest boards after we Aussies were whinging about the lack of support.
Its worth a quick read...

G/W and F/W don't appear to know what's going on many times...
On any given day it's anyone's guess. J.J., Tony, Andy, Gav...
Or the guy who runs the Fish & Chips place up the road from the G/W UK building?

Hi!
I was following that thread and here is the "in between the lines translation" of it:
Fanatic games don't sell well enough to justify sending stuff there. No game that doesn't sell on par with the core games such as 40k or warhammer will EVER get the support or resource allocation they do.
Never mind that there is a implicit vicous cycle in this line of thought:
no resource allocation--no product availability--no sales--no money made--which justifies not allocating resources in the first place.
Unfortunately while Jervis points out a very real issue about supply cost versus amount ot be sold, I think one should point out that even in places where this is an issue like GWUS, there WILL be store managers who will not order any Epic stating space constraints of other such things.
So while there may be some cost issues, there are also store "attitude" problems I think GW should look into.
