I see people playing lots of fantasy, and with a lot of models and armies that are being listed as being thrown out. Those people are going to be pushed aside, and then told, "Hey, if you want to keep playing, just drop a few hundred dollars on a new army. Oh, we totally swear we won't make it obsolete down the line like we just did with a huge chunk of the line. Honest!"
It's stupid. Sheer stupidity. The ideas don't make any sense from a marketing standpoint. Maybe if you were a new company. Or if you're really desperate and need to try some extreme insane new method of sales hoping it will spark something because you can't figure out the obvious fixes to your flawed marketing concepts.
