With every new addition - regardless of past and/or present and/or future prints - companies that have made money off of a particular franchise can and will try to "bring life" into their range/s.
Prices years ago were still bad for GW - and my eyebrows went an inch or so higher when I saw how high they'd gone up since I was in the hobby (not that much, but I've sorta inherited my grandpa's trait of being extremely tight when it comes to money). They'll always be a niche within a niche market that fork over hundreds of dollars on the new products.
I like to think of what happens when a new army/codex book comes out. An example is when the blood angles got an official codex for the latest edition; every man, his dog, and his friends were playing blood angels for a while. I had a BA army before it was even considered to be cool! Hobbies eventually come down to fads.
But I will say this...watching the Hobbit has made me want to play MERP in the time period of the Hobbit...
I probably have more to say about it, but its quite late for me sooooo...
Although Mortis...RPG's don't sell armies? I'm sure there must be a small amount of people who went from Dark Heresy or Deathwatch to 40K due to the fact that they've bought a few models here or there for their gaming (then again...they probably already were into 40K to the relevant rpg; so my point is pretty flimsy)...and most who DO spend money to buy these products straight from a store do so to satisfy children - and you know what happens when a child isn't satisfied...
