ROFL

Can't think of much else to say.

**Alpharius**

Didn't the last "Price Adjustment" feature some prices going down?

Do you still get to call it a "Price Adjustment" if ALL the prices are going up?

**Gabe**

lol @ $24 Lysander.

Brilliant.

**carmachu**

lol @ $24 Lysander.

ROUGHCOAT SPRAY: £10.00 (20 bucks american?)

Hahahahahah Oh Wow

**Thesamdude**

Looks like GW sales havent gone down enough for them

**Asmodai**

Apparently people are still buying GW models. This unacceptable to GW. The models use oil which is polluting and Warhammer 40,000 encourages lewd and licentious behavior. GW is doing a public service by pricing the game high enough that people can't buy it.

In recognition of this Tom Kirby should be awarded the OBE, KBE, Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Nobel Prize in 'Being an all-around nice guy'.

**Hellfury**

lol @ $24 eldrad....

I wonder if this is UK only?

I do recall a statement made that they would increse prices only once a year. This has since been proven false.

Everytime there is a new codex released, there is stealth increases across the board.

They may as well increase the price right befoe christmas every year, so atleast it feels they are being honest.

Atleast the yearly financial report will reflect the price "adjustments" made that year, instead of the price increases happening right before the report is released.

So who wants to bet on what the prices for the americas are going to look like this year?

Is it a sign of the apocalypse? GW Price Reduction Chart

probably not...

**Hellfury**

eww tubgirl.

shame on me for not checking the link first....

**Jester**

Yeah. Yeah.

I thought the National Health bought up all the Wood Elf Warhawk Riders to give out as birth control for the council housois?

**Orlanth**

The real GW prices are going up too, you get less than you used to on eBay for more money.

**Wayfarer**

I guess they got tired of having to produce and sell metal characters.

**BF44042**

I wonder if they a dedicated 'Price Adjustment' department that comes up with wacky new excuses to jack up prices every year?

There, I've made it more "accurate". Excuse? Who needs excuses when you still have a profit margin (however slim).

**Death Jester**

Oh.......dear........lord.

**Witterquick**

My temptation is to think "April Fool's Joke" (they're not above them at TMP) but the realistic voice in my head says "they'll be adjusting the prices in the US soon, because you wouldn't want to overvalue the dollar, would you?"

**carmachu**

Sheesh, its sad that a single character figure is literally more than 2/3 or a RPG hardcover rulebook...

**Kid_Kyoto**

Guys check the date, this is obviously an April Fools, I mean seriously, US$20 for a figure? I can't believe anyone took that seriously!

No such luck for you, it's on the GW site, dated March 30th.

**ph34r**

Is it just me or is the text on theminiaturespage really huge?

**imthedci**

Don't worry - The yearly US price increase comes upon us every July. We'll be *enjoying* our adjustments soon enough... *sigh*

**Schepp himself**

April's fooooool.... it's not possible that's real. No it' s NOT!

Greets
Schepp himself

**Tim**

I often ask myself, what should I build for my next army? Then I findmyself on other companies web pages.

I wonder why?
