Mawloc/Trygon in stock anywhere

[mule]

Been scouring the internet for a week and half now, looking for a place in north america that has mawloc/trygon kits in stock.

Anyone know of any places that still have them in stock?

I was having the same trouble finding a tervigon... finally found one for 60$ On amazon, no tax or shipping. Figured it would be more if I got it straight from GW so I broke down and got it. I've seen a few on eBay but the are 65ish bucks so quite a bit over retail. But there is a real tyranid kit drought happening right now. eBay is usually my go to for warhammer stuff.

Weird thanks. any time i typed mawloc or trygon into amazon there were only ones for $160.

Someone had mentioned it's possibly because they are re packaging everything for 8th edition. Only logical thing I can think of for the lack of kits everywhere.

1) 8th edition has sold like crazy. It's been the biggest launch in tabletop gaming history. More units (and a higher percentage) are better than they ever have been, so a lot of kits that didn't sell are now moving as well.

2) A lot of things will be recut, repacked, etc for 8th. Some things, like Warriors, may get wings added to an otherwise newish kit.

Yeah i know theyre repackaging stuff and its selling a lot. Thats why im asking here cause i cant find it anywhere. Need 2 mawlocs and a trygon to finish my list off.

I see the toxicrene/maleceptor kits didn't sell out, I wonder why? Maybe this will be some incentive to tweak a them bit...

my FLGS can't get anything in, says they're all bought up.

Yeah all of the stores here are cleaned out, i think there is just a tyrannoctye and horma/terma's

My LGS has been phasing out 40k for a couple years now. They had 0 BRB on midnight release and have a box of Termagants left. I don't even think they realize it's a new edition. I have finally stopped going there.

Magic/Warmahordes/Star Trek has taken over.

I wonder why that is? The profit margins on 40k is compared to one of their high volume mtg stores.

None of the local stores here offer online, which seems weird to me. Probably because their online costs would need to be much cheaper than their brick and mortar shops and tjat might affect their in store sales?

Theres a place here that is expanding into some of the more niche games like boltaction.

Probably because until about 8 months ago GW had a toxic relationship not just with players but with FLGS?

I mean yeah but it doesnt take much to go on square space and set up an online store.

The margin on Warhammer products is massive. Stores pay 55% of the GW retail price. Whatever you pay over that is supporting the store.
