Imperial knight on the GW site in the uk is 85 euros. That translates currently on the exchange rate to 93 US dollars. On the U.S. site the imperial knight is still priced 140 US dollars.
What gives?!

It's 85 pounds. Which converts to about 130 USD.

The Euro is on a current low and I am sure that the price is static for when the model came out a few years when the Euro was looking to eclipse the dominance of US currency (blame the greek debt crisis for that!) Ive noticed more than a few companies arent changing their prices over euros, or at least arent letting American consumers buy them at adjusted Euro prices (shipping may be a factor). I doubt its purposeful gouging over them just being to lazy to update their prices (im sure thats the price they cam out at a few years ago). Besides, why are you buying from them anyways? Find yourself a local store and solicit them instead. Most stores will offer a 10-20% discount on GW prices anyways. Unless it was pounds, then the conversion was correct
Edit: By the time I finished this someone already pointed it out!

Agies Grimm:The "Learn to play, bro" mentality is mostly just a way for someone to try to shame you by implying that their metaphorical nerd-wiener is bigger than yours. Which, ironically, I think nerds do even more vehemently than jocks.
Everything is made up and the points don't matter. 40K or Who's Line is it Anyway?
