I wonder how much inventory there even was (if I understood correctly) with the figure-making machine being down. There may not have been anything left to sell.
Ironicly enough... what usually happens is specific figs are generally slow movers. The last three times I was there, the most popular figs to be out of/having to be spun again were Cap Light Infantry, Heavy Infantry, Sealions, Bauhaus Dragoons, Mortant, Brotherhood Troopers and the various Zombies. Chassuers and BHaus Rangers were relatively popular too. Mishima dragon-riders were a pain to cast so they were always low.
The dino riders sold well too- but I think that was due to the gobs of IG players getting them for roughriders (I admit- I considered it!!)
Individuals were always a hit and miss propsition, with Von Juntz, Wolf and Ameratsu being popular.
