Munchkin Retirement home
With such exiting and plentiful 2014 years for the Munchkin Universe, I almost forgot about the announcement that Mr. Jackson gave us in the 2012 report; “we will let some of the slower-moving Munchkin core sets go out of print for a few months at a time.” I was wondering which Munchkin cores will gracefully take its leave from us and retire?

Re: Munchkin Retirement home
That's a 2-year old report, and retire seems a severe word choice. Furlough seems more reasonable. I know that Munchkin Fu was one, but it's getting a reprint soon, I hear. . .

Re: Munchkin Retirement home
Fu and Impossible have been out of print for a while, but they'll be coming back this summer. We have some other candidates, but they're still in stock now, although moving slowly (which is WHY they're on the list), so I don't plan to name them at present.
Note that some *expansions* are also on this list, in some cases even if we plan to keep the core games in print.

Re: Munchkin Retirement home
Sounds like the Head office need more storage space!
Well I hope that my beloved Munchkin Cthulhu and all its extensions are still all faring well. Probably, since the heath board is coming out. :)

Re: Munchkin Retirement home
It's not a matter of storage space. Our minimum print runs are high enough that if we don't expect to sell that many sets in a reasonable time, it's better to let the game go out of print for a while, to let demand pick back up, or just let it go forever. Inventory taxes are killer, and there's also opportunity cost to consider -- money and time spent on reprints is money and time NOT spent on new products, and if it's a choice between a marginal reprint and a new product we expect to be a strong seller, the reprint is likely to lose.

Re: Munchkin Retirement home
I'd be looking for Bites 2, Super 2, and Good/Bad 2. And, as always, any booster you want, you should pick up sooner rather than later. (The only remaining copies of Space Ships, for instance, are the ones going in the Triple Play packs. And Dragons is running very low at our primary warehouse.)
