One of the problem is that GW has the infrastructure in place, and nobody else can match it. Outriders, RT tournaments, huge sales and marketing forces and a history of staying in existance for decades. It's not something at store is going to look at and say, "You know, I'd really rather give frontage to this new unknown product that may or may not be supported in a few years."

Personally, the biggest torque in my sockets is the "GW models only" at tournaments. It's entirely understandible and I don't blame them for it, but it means I can never use the vast majority of my models in some of the largest tabletop get-togethers around. *shrug* I guess I'm stuck with playing at my local store.
