Despite the title of this monthly post referring to the absolute lack of any new product coming out that interests me, when I swing by my FLGS on Friday, I should have THREE different products waiting for me! I might be part of the some small demographic finally!
Let's see how this month's solicitations fall...

The train enthusiast in me was very intrigued by the Kickstarter campaign but didn't pledge.
Eagle Games
Cheesonomics - North American Edition ............................................................................. $84.99
Eighty-five bucks for a card game about the cheese industry? If I hit the Powerball this week, color me intrigued.

Christmas is coming, and if you want your coffers getting fat, you should be looking into a little holiday diversification. Alliance/Diamond are certainly not foolish to offer more and more of this stuff as we move into Fall. I just hope they curtail it during the slow months, less GTM becomes a version of Previews Jr.
Big Bang Theory: Bazinga 12-inch Clock
Star Wars: Empire vs Rebellion Card Game .................................................................... $12.95
Star Wars Dice Bags (Boba Fett, Empire, Rebel Alliance, and Stormtrooper) ................. $ 7.95 each

SHADOWS OF BRIMSTONE CORE SETS
City of the Ancients ........................................................................................................ $99.95
Swamps of Death .......................................................................................................... $99.95
While "Unspeakable Horror" games tend to sell regardless, mixing it with Old West is not the direction most people take. A fast-paced, cooperative board game with two different core sets for a hundred bucks apiece? More research is needed before I would order a copy for the imaginary store.
Gale Force Nine

Games Workshop
Rant time (as usual): There's no new solicitations, just "Offered Again" (O/A) that didn't make the last book. This month's are the Citadel Paint sets. When the core paint sets give you ten paints, a brush, and probably a "how to" book included for $45.50, I need to question GW sanity, but not their greed. The Dry Paint Set? 10 for $42.00. The Hobby Starter set with 13 paints, some tool, a brush, and glue? $75.00! The Layer Paint Set is almost affordable at $75.00 for 20 paints, but the Shade Set is madness at $36 for 8! Remember folks, these are the 0.4 (that's four tenths) ounce bottle that GW is hawking nowadays, the smallest quantity and the most expensive jars/bottles in the business! And unlike most companies, where a paint set might net you 10 bottles for the price of 9, some of these box sets are the same price if you bought the items piece meal!
My foray into Army Painter notwithstanding, I'll stick to 90% of my paint supplies being Americana Craft paints for $1.49 for two whole ounces, and a few Howard Hues one ounce jars.
As you were.

Warlord Games
Dear Warlord Games,
Please provide a decent discounting structure, so the retailer doesn't end up with a reduced discount, and I would promote the crap out of your product. Every item has a picture and it looks great, but no pricing. Yes, that's an issue with Alliance, but it originates from you.
Wizards of the Coast
Magic The Gathering CCG: Khans of Tarkir
I liked the Japanese themed sets, so Mongols (?) should rock even more. Oh yeah, with this all store bills are paid for in September.
