I think what it ended up boiling down to was that while it could make sense for them to extend the run, The only things produced in house (where GW get stuff cheapest) were the plastic models. Everything else required an external supplier. And another fact that came up, was that its better to have a smaller run and sell out, than a larger order and have some products left sitting on shelves gathering dust.

I can imagine the Blood Angels being sold (either as a bits pack or a boxed set) when the BA get a proper codex. The Genestealers... well they would probably suit a Kill Team expansion release or something. Failing that, just bung 'em on the website and let people buy the sprues as-is. They can add them to their armies or bulk up their SH collections. ~ Tim

Plus the card sections mean that I can get on with playing it while It looks nice straight out of the box, rather than having to paint the board sections (which would then get chipped and damaged during play and while setting up and taking it apart). And its some DAMN nice card. And that might also have increased the sprue count beyond a number they were willing to make for just one box (IIRC wasn't one of the problems with the stompa getting it all onto a set number of sprues?).

Personally, I am glad they did it this way, even if it did mean it "had" to be a limited run. ~ Tim
