Given the fact that the Capitalis and Hellbore average 100 US on Ebay, there
must be enough of a market to justify there re-release.

Do you have them? I would love to have a digital copy. I would love to get
my hands on any of the origional buildings.

Would you like to trade for a few waterslides?

We could put together suggestions for them, different army lists for 2000
point e41k style (they don't want any of the older styles).
They could even hold contests (get more activity for the game)

Today, I got a delivery from GW and the MO Trolls credited me for my order of
ork battlewagons and range rulers with the statement that they are
discontinued and will not be carried again.
Combine this with the lack of dice and the empty air you get when you call
mail order UK and ask for epic stuff.
North American mail order is even worse.

The only thing that will work is 'We agree to purchase X amount of product if
you produce it' type of petitions. If we get a group to purchase 1000 sprues
of old style orks or some other combination, then they have incentive to
support us.
We can vote with our cash. I know I have done so with Warmaster and
Battlefleet Gothic. I have alot of disposible income, and I was going to
start into both those games. Now, I have decided that I am only going to
purchase Epic models to finish my current armies, and I am not going to buy
any other GW product until I see some proper support for their games.

best regards

Dalton
