Actually they really aren't a great value. Especially if you consider the terrible quality of the models. I don't mind the dreadnought or the terminators, even though their options are so limited. But the marines in the set look absolutely horrible, especially next to real marine models.

Considering, these are starter sets the models look fine. A box of termies and a rule book is $25 more than the starter that comes with both and a whole lot more. Even if you bought it for the Termies the dreadnaught and the rule book you still made out. Even if the quality is not as good as the standard tactical squad I don't see how you can not think this is a good value.
Does a price increase suck? Yes. It does every year. I wish I could collect 40k for what it cost me when I started. I also wish I could buy gas for what I paid back then as well...

I think I shall be getting my sallies up to 1.5k then take a break from giving GW my cash for a while.


...now to find a local warmachine stockist.

Shall we all have a quick whip round with the charity tin for them?

GW raising prices is a bit like boiling a frog starting it in a pan of cold water.

That is $30 for 3 POWER ARMORED MARINES. Seriously? Not Terminators, power armor.

Welcome to the Games Workshop Hobby indeed...

I can't agree more good sir.

QFT!

It might be nice if the fat cats who've creamed the profits off the top of GW during the boom years turned around and helped those that gave them that money back then,now times are a little leaner!

As if that's ever going to happen!

GW's a business, so I don't expect them to be nice to me. GW's a business so they shouldn't expect me to be nice to them.

I earn my money by working hard (when I'm not plugged into Teh Internetz preaching hatred and vitriol!) So should they!

If they don't produce what the customer wants at a price the customer is prepared to pay, then that's tough luck on them.

That there are a few who are prepared to pay stupid prices for little moulded pieces of plastic and tin, and they will no longer be able to buy from them if/when GW folds ... well, too bad really. See it as your opportunity to find a brand new hobby. Like playing toy soldiers with little pieces of moulded plastic and tin made by someone else... You might find you have just as much fun, you never know!

I reserve my charity for worthy causes - like Oxfam or Cancer Research - a corporation run by fat cats who've earned £squillions over the last decade.... not so much!

I just want to say to the people that bashed me / called me stupid for saying there is a price increase 2 months ago ....

your GW god has forsaken you, now what D:

Good thing some people are buying their armies in before the increase / or getting out of warhammer altogether.

I'll just be taking my time with my army. I know I'll never leave the GW hobby forever, but I do hate how the prices keep creeping up, and my purchases are completely dictated by my budget. I can see my way to a few of the new terrain kits, probably the new Planetstrike book.... SW in the fall. But models? I've got a lot to paint, so I don't think I'll be picking up any models anytime soon.

If people didn't see the yearly increase going forward as per usual that's their own naivete. I was honestly expecting them to pull the 2 GBP to 1 USD out again. It'll be interesting to see how quickly prices are increased again if the GBP climbs past their average.

That's the sprue with the death-roller, kill-kannon and... other stuff?

Ow... basically all the previouse 5-10men units in Fantasy are going up ALOT ><

On the positive this puts the keybash on any tweaking of my IG forces to the new codex. Its play what I have or convert time for the forseeable future. Sucks if you wanted to sell me a slew of Valkyrie/Vendettas...

That's why some of us bought them before this happened, just like some of us bought 20-man boxes of Cadians before they vanished.

On examining this price change list more closely I've noticed that most increases aren't that bad, but some items that are going up a lot also went up last October and have jumped quite a bit in that time frame. These are mostly metal model items. For example, Greater Daemons went from $45 US to $50 last October, now they are going up to $57.75 on June 1. That's a 28% increase in only about 7 months. Army Cases went from $90 to $95 then too, now they will be $99. Bloodcrushers Of Khorne went from $22 to $25, now they will be $29.75, a 35% increase since last October. Ouch!

"Most economists agree that based on the numbers from production and transportation industries, the economy likely bottomed out in March and will begin improving throughout the rest of the year. The GBP - USD conversion rate follows this trend as well, bottoming out at 1.41 in March and increasing continuously up to today at 1.56. This means the the rate will likely end the year around the 3 year average of 1.85. That is bad news for the US. Please raise your hand if you remember a time when GW sold anything in the US at a lower percentage than the UK? In order to make the same percentage, we will likely see another price increase later in the year. Those of you laughing might not remember that they have done it before, so two GW price increases in a single fiscal year is not without precedent. "


Standard and Poor downgraded the U.K. market today from stable to negative. I'm guessing that is going to hold the exchange rate to closer to 1.5 rather than pushing it towards 2.

No I don't respond well to threatened price increases / bubbles. I just move on. If you say "buy now the prices are going up!" I say, "mmm....sounds like an ebay sale opportunity..."
Except bullets of course, but even there I'm not going nuts. Having said that, Obama I need a Bullet Bubble Bailout! I promise to only spend on domestic bullets if necessary.

HELLO!

We need bullets now that we will be able to carry loaded weapons in national parks again.

For national security purposes, that is.

GW INCREASING PRICES BY 633%!!!!

I saw that, too. I was like WTF

I figure this is just encouragement to finish painting what I already own and not start picking up a new army.

I think that most people will continue to spend the same amount of money on hobby stuff, which means that GW's volume goes down. They may keep the same profit, or it could go up or down, but the volume will probably drop.

So, your response to a incoming price increase is to splurge and buy stuff en masse beforehand? You really taught them a lesson, didn't you! Sorta like blowing up your own building before the enemy gets there. Awesome.

Like a broken record that's what he keeps telling others all the time.

Nope. It's like reinforcing your building and putting up sandbags, so that when the enemy's inevitable volley lands, it does less damage.

Lets face it, most people order online for the good discount, with a price hike more people will now do so.
GW need to start up another promotion like the sjullz years ago


You get a certain amount of "points" for each purchase, those points can then be used to buy limited edition models o maybe even partial discount from online ordering via GW's site.

The Amsterdam store hands out tickets for special event lotteries but seeing as the store is really cramped 200+ people waiting on a special day there isn't ideal.

I bought big, not knowing a price increase was coming, because I buy in bulk to get better savings.

With the price increase(s) coming, GW will be very unlikely to get similar monies from me in the foreseeable future. But, as I have what I want, that's not a big deal.

Just what Tyranid player wanted. More expensive Gargoyles!

Well, at least they're nice, new plastics that don't look like ass and constantly tip over...

Oh, wait...

And I got them at a 30% discount w/free shipping, so my sandbags are made out of mother fething titanium*.




*Don't actually know if that'd make a difference...

I wonder if it's true that certain online stores have discounts like that.
