Fair enough. $70 is less than $150. Still a huge mark up from $15.

To be fair, if a store just sold him for $15 it will end up on ebay for $150 so there is sense to just cutting out the middle man. Those using them for prize support or selling to dedicated customers makes more sense.

IA is a completed game.

Expect nothing new until the License gets renewed.

Yes Alex Davy was treated poorly. Being let go is never a case of being treated well no matter how it is handled. I thought for sure he would be retained when I saw the press release. That wasn't the case and this was handled badly. However bad this was, to see something he spent so much of his life working on also die because the community abandoned it will be quite the double blow.

Welcome to corporate America. We are all just chattel that can be bought and tossed out in the trash. It's about to get far worse.

Wouldn't be surprised if Asmodee moves everything out of FFG and shuts the studio down just to get out of the mess that is now Minneapolis. Also the pandemic has killed in person played gaming, they must be hurting and they weren't exactly doing great before. Consolidation should be expected. With that said, these miniature games aren't rocket engineering. Getting people who can design these games isn't that difficult. I am sure they held on to some key people and as stated before, FFG has had plenty of turn around throughout the years. This is them not losing their license. Maybe not as big of a deal as people think. Hope the FFG brand doesn't disappear though.

blah, the double posting bug.

Almost certainly the case that this was some con exclusive for something meant to only be available at worlds. FFG must be sitting on a bunch of stuff like there for their various games. FFG did a lottery for the X-Wing con exclusive and there was all kinds of salt about that. This way, they put the salt on the local stores and diffuse it out. My hope is they do more of this in the future, just with larger runs so there is less salt. Alt sculpts are cool and people like collectables.
