Your claim that they are a good resource , the best resource , reputable , doesn ' t actually make them so . I could claim that CNN and Fox must be good sources of information all the time and everything they say is 100 %, but oh wait they publish incorrect information all the time . If big news companies aren ' t 100 % factual all the time , some game industry magazine certainly doesn ' t get the benefit of the doubt . This chart of the Top 5 NonCollectible Miniature Lines hobby channel reflects sales in Spring 2016 . The charts are based on interviews with retailers , distributors , and manufacturers . This is possibly the most vague statement possible . It is impossible to fact check . It could mean they talked to Joe ' s Card Shop and asked how many sales of Xwing vs 40 k sold . It could mean they called up the executive board of FFG and Asmodee and got sales figures from them . I dismiss it because I do not trust some random author on the Internet who does not have specific sources for his claims as true industry facts . And hell , reflects sales in the spring could mean a whole host of figures . Models sold , money made , percent sales increase from last spring . It doesn ' t state what figure is being compared , nor does it state any sources for the figure . That is why it isn ' t a valid resource for FFG is killing GW .
