Brickforge Situation

Post by AZKAMAT » Thu Nov 01, 2018 7:56 pm

So Brickforge is having everything "loose" (their term for individual pieces) 50% off. Take advantage at will.

But I suspect this is actually bad. Huge ass discount like this probably means they're having trouble getting sales. I also haven't noticed new stuff in quite a while (same goes for Brickarms. Make of that what you will).

On the company's products themselves I have mixed feelings, even though I do have some neat figures that they've made possible. Overall I'd hate to see them go under.

I actually have monitored most of the 3rd party manufacturers for years and I've never seen anything like this before.

Interesting. Hadn't noticed they'd done that.

Well, could be several reasons. Could be flagging sales. Could also be that they have a pile of stuff they want to clear out to make room for new stuff. Could be a big pre-holiday sale thing too. I notice they're not doing the other sales they were doing. Really, it doesn't LOOK like a general clearance sale, looks more like a holiday thing, but only time will tell.

I thought the last time they had a big sale like this, they were clearing out the single color stuff. Then they started the multicolored swords and painting shields and stuff.

    They have it list ed as an inventory reduction sale which could simply mean they want to have less money invested in stock.
    Its really hard to make a profit when you have tens of thousands of dollars wrapped up in inventory

    Perhaps next time they're looking to stock less . While h may mean lower availability
