If retail giant Amazon thinks a game is a winner shouldn’t we? Come get the inside scoop on the retail side of Age of Sigmar!
I wanted to chat about this the other day, so here goes. It seems like overall the Age of Sigmar release is doing well, and in some cases is out selling Warhammer 40k items even!
Here’s the highlights form retailers, and industry insiders;
- The game is selling, with stores that promote it seeing higher sales on Fantasy items, and Age of Sigmar as well.
- You can play it with TWO different versions on comp, OR just as intended by the 4 page rules book.
- Some stores report Fantasy ‘refugees’ snapping up Kings of War, and Warmachine respectively.
- Look for 3 more weeks minimum of Age of Sigmar release before a shift to other releases from Games Workshop.
It should come as no surprise then that according to Amazon, this game is selling!
