Games Workshop has hit stores with heavy allocations once again for the Lion El’Jonson, Snikrot, and Farsight individual releases.
It looks like allocations are back again for new Warhammer 40k releases, and these numbers aren’t the tightest we’ve ever seen, but they are still not great.
Allocations have also been going on for six months now, so at this point; it seems to officially be a trend from Games Workshop headed into the middle of summer.
Allocations Cripple Lion El’Jonson, Farsight, & Snikrot Releases Again!
- Lion El’Jonson: 5 per store
- Boss Snikrot: 3 per store
- Commander Farsight: 3 per store
Well, we all know how the first release of Lion El’Jonson went, and it wasn’t pretty. So let’s hope that with 5 per store and online webstore stock, most people who missed out on the limited-release version will be able to get it. We’ll have to see how it plays out and if it will sell out quickly online or if it will be moved to a GW regular stock item and be available most of the time.
Then, for the other characters, they are a little more limited but probably not as hot of an item. Either way, it’s never fun to see allocations hit on characters, as most people who play the same army want the model.
As we said, this has been many months in a row of allocations, including Leviathan, so let’s hope GW gets it in gear for the rest of the 10th edition and beyond.
