The struggle of PP when it comes to their product is getting it to the consumer in a timely fashion. When their production issues are over and can get their release schedule cut down to a more manageable timeframe then I think they'll match GW.

This is absolutely correct.

Privateer Press product literally can't compete with GW's for one very, very simple reason...

They can't reliably get me their product.


It's really as simple as that.

I think that's the difference between doing everything in house and doing things in a factory in China. Also, I think PP got too big so fast over the past year that they couldn't keep up.

I think they got big quick for certain. The problem was that they reacted far too slowly to things. Their whole thing about only hiring full time employees is absurd, as is the idea it takes months to teach a reasonably intelligent person to pour the metal into the molds. Seriously? What the hell kind of business model is that?

And from what I hear overseas distribution and parts support is even worse.
