I wish I had enough money to buy a couple of copies to sell on in a few months for a huge mark up.....
How long did Space Hulk redux take to sell out? That cost what, £60? They sell on eBay at >£100 now, not sure what the peak was.
Mind you, I don't think Man O' War has the same iconic status compared to Space Hulk and, as others have said, Dreadfleet is not really the same game. I doubt if you could make much. Might be worth doing if you were going to buy, oh, 20 boxes or so (and can live with yourself), but that's a fair amount of cash to sink.
More generally, do others think the balance of interest in Fantasy vs 40K has changed much over the years? I don't remember 40K being quite so dominant in the 90s as it seems to be now, but maybe I'm just remembering it wrong or seeing it wrong now. Since I am not really connected with the rest of the hobby (only Epic) it's difficult for me to gauge.
I do remember a bloke buying ten copies and needing staff members to help carry them to his car when space hulk came out.....
I also remember a guy on warseer putting the marines on ebay a week later and getting £80 for them alone
I didn't pay much attention to 40k myself, but it does seem to be the only game being played at my local GW for the past 15 years now..... I read on warseer that GW sells more space marines than everything else combined
I still think this game will sell like hot cakes, I liked the idea of it myself, but when I saw that it wasn't so much a 'fleet' as a 'small collection of stupid cartoony boats' I lost interest and decided to focus harder on dystopian wars instead.....
