Anyone care to guess how many of each kit WNW is producing in its initial production runs?
Do you think they are all about the same #, or would they punch out more of some types and less of others?
It would be nice to know if they are getting low on a particular kit before they run out. Then those of us who are on the fence about buying could make a purchase before its too late. Sure keeps you on your toes though! 
What do you all think?
I'm wondering if their order serial number is the effective serial number of the order.
They have had some 17000 orders now. I can guess that the avg number of kits per order is between 3 and 4.
Therefore they have sold around 50000 kits now and that is in line with the market figures... Around 2000 ww1 modelers in the world, plus some occasional customers and an average of 20 kits per modeller (4 kits times 5 years).... 40000 kits to the aficionados and 10000 among the other 5-10000 modellers.
They produce 1000-2000 kits per run.
They only know how many, but I figure these are the numbers. It maybe that they ordered a bigger run for the first kits, and that eventually they cast a new run for some kits.
We could have a better estimate if some of us (twenty should suffice) share the data about each order that we made... Like serial of the order, number of kits, date of the order.
After our research WnW will discontinue the policy about numbering of their orders :-)
