Games Workshop has hit stores with crippling allocations for the new Lion El’Jonson, Azrael, Dante 40k miniatures, and the Boarding Patrols.
It looks like allocations are back again for new Warhammer 40k releases, and these numbers are about as tight as possible, and none of the Space Marine heroes are getting big numbers.
Either way, all the stores and distributors we polled reported that their orders were once again slashed numbers-wise (for most boxes) for many of the new releases this week. Allocations have also been going on for over two months now, so at this point; it seems to officially be a trend from Games Workshop headed into summer.
For now, though, let’s check out what goes on pre-order this week that’s affected and look at how many of each will be available.
GW’s New 40k Allocations are Harsh For Lion El’Jonson
- Lion El’Jonson Box: 3 per store
- Azrael: 2 per store
- Dante: 2 per store
- Boarding Patrols: 1 per store
- Horus Heresy Tanks: 3 per store
- Arks of Omen and new dice: No cap
Honestly, this is pretty sad. People have waited a long time for the Lion release, and it’s one of the most anticipated single-model releases we’ve seen in a really long time.
Not really sure what to say other than this hamper stores crazily as it was a release they could make some money on, and only three per store is just nothing (especially for big stores). Azrael and Dante’s caps are also bad, but at least for Azreal, he was in the recent box. Dante wasn’t; with only two per store, it won’t do much for stores or hobbyists alike.
All the Boarding Patrols have been allocated again, and while this isn’t anything too out of the ordinary it doesn’t make it good either.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t stop there, though, and the new HH tanks are also being allocated, so anything people wanted this week will be hard to get.
Lastly, there are no caps for the new book or dice, but that’s a sad consolation prize compared to the other releases.
