Tau Out of Stock

I had an email this morning from Darksphere.co.uk informing customers that almost the entire range of Tau products was now out of stock. Apparently they had spoken to GW's Trade Department and been told that the Riptide, XV8 Commander and Commander Shadowsun models are in such high demand that there is not enough to go round.

GW have also made a statement to say that many of the products are out of stock and orders will not be fulfilled until Monday 8th April or later, depending on the items ordered.

Obviously GW did not expect such a high demand for products but this is still pretty poor on their part. They should have ensured that there would be enough stock available for release date and done proper market research in order to prevent this happening.
