Good sign? It has happened twice now, does this mean it is selling way above expectations or is it not supported enough? What do you reckon? |

Jervis said in the playtesting forums the other day that sales were above expectations in the UK. |

Sorry, no. One of the main reasons for the reprint was that we'd already sold the copies needed for the US release! We had to order the reprint quickly so that we would still have time to ship to the US for a May release slot. Best regards, Jervis Johnson Head Fanatic | |

Heh. I was just on my way to post this. I certainly hope that the very high (compared to projections) sales means that Epic is going to receive strong support for some time. |

(Keeping fingers crossed) It does indeed look very good for Epic. However I am still a bit anxious about how well it is doing in a years time or so when all the "Players of the Week" have moved on to the new hot thing... Still everything is looking veery nice at the moment!  Cheers! |

Hi! Warmaster Nice has the right idea. When a GW game is released, not matter what it is there is a sales spike. Its a common phenomenon if you ever retailed their products. The true measure will be, as warmaster points out, how well epic will do when "other" things vie for the customers attention. Once February 2005 comes around, one year after its UK release, if its still sells this good then, and only then, will we know if epic lasts beyond the "flavor of the month" period. Keep in mind that epic 40k sold WAY more than epic A in its first months (it was a core game back then), then faded away. I am glad however that fanatic is being prudent and making small print runs to ensue it sells out. I hope they keep steady in that regard. Primarch |

Ahem The miniatures have sold well in Europe. What I was told - and bear in mind this is anecdotal information, as I haven't seen any sales figures yet - is that sales of the miniatures were 400% up on forecast. Which is nice Best regards, Jervis Johnson Head Fanatic | |

And still GWUS refuses to do any promotion... It's not as if a write-up in WD would really cost them a ton of money. Per Utopia, they didn't even get the date into the ad for his tournament (the first EA event in NA). |

Hi! I read a comment that GWUS was perhaps waiting to see how well it sells elsewhere (UK and CANADA) before they take the plunge. I dont know if this is the case, but man is GWUS beating around the bush with epic. It really ticks me off.... Primarch |
