So if I read this correctly GW is not only stopping online sales of their product in North America, they are also insisting all products be sold in their original packaging!

IT IS RIDICULOUS!
What I mean to express is that yes this hurts the retailers whose lawyers will undoubtably figure out a loophole... but when a company produces a product which does not in itself contain the very parts needed to construct the models available, it also hurts the comsumer! AKA their customers!!
If it were only them being a-holes that would be one thing.... but its like they never heard of ebay before...
I just got 3 Leman Russes for 88.00 on ebay! Woot for me!
However stupid for them as I just got a significant discount buying 150.00 worth of stuff for almost half price...
Its just so ignorant... If the Eldar codex had not been so spot on to address issues I would just be floored....
Its so hard to be a fan of a company that is trying so hard to mimic the policies of apple! I mean there is a reason apples computers have such a small marketshare.... Sure the IPHONE dominated(now to be usurped by Samsung GS4) but gw does not sell pocket sized computers which also allow for communication from any place you can drive!
What do you guys think?
