Wow, actual funky stuff being released like Plastic sprues to upgrade Baneblades or Tau Hammerheads.

While the Bitz Range has started out real slow; Im hoping its going to be coming out with cool stuff like this a little more often.

**H.B.M.C.**

Not cheap, but then we expected that.

Now if only they'd do the Cities of Death accessory sprue (ie. the one with the floors), then I'd be happy.

**Antryg**

Wow... AU$44 for enough bits to spruce up 10 marines and make them into deathwatch.
Thats over $40 USD. Or $75 USD for 10 marines total after all of that.

No thanks, I don't need anything that badly. I am glad we all waited this long for this...

**ancientsociety**

WTF!? Half the cost of a full kit for 1 sprue!?

The depths of greed GW sometimes sinks into always amazes me...

**Techboss**

I loled

Prices = too high
Options = too little

Have you sent an email to GW customer service, asking for this? You totally should, if you want it. I sent them an email and they were (or at least they claimed to be) happy to get it.

**Greebynog**

The baneblade sprue is currently listed at £9999 on GW uk. It looks useful, but for 10 grand I'll pass.

**Pariah Press**

Man, that joke just gets funnier every time someone tells it!

errr 40/160 = 25% not 50%

Or did you think that an Australian site lists things in $USD?

**Waaagh_Gonads**

Please understand that Australia/New Zealand have consistently payed a minimum of 25-33% more for GW products than elsewhere in the world.

Which is why for orders over $200US its 20% cheaper to online order direct from UK or US mailorder than to drive the 5km to my local GW store, even after postage (and the usually arrive within 7-9 working days)...

So expect the US and UK versions to be significantly cheaper.

**Ratbarf**

Lol, know what really annoys me about pricing? In Canada a SM Assult squad is 55 dollars. (for 5) In the states its 25 dollars. And guess what, our dollars are at parity. (ie they are of the same value)

**The Power Cosmic**

It's a penalty for being partly French.

Rude but funny...

**Nurglitch**

Ratbarf: That shouldn't be annoying. After all, it's so easy to order from the Warstore. At 20% of the American prices it makes GW stuff easily affordable.

**cerebaton**

Any news on when individual sprues will turn up in the UK store? (or anywhere else in the world for that matter)

**Turbo_MMX**

Im just annoyed they dont have the Skyray upgrade sprew up there! Could have made myself a fleet of Remorah Drone fighters!!!

**Blackadder**

They finally sell foam trays for their cases without the case. Not that I already bought them elsewhere... (http://www.figuresincomfort.co.uk/)

You should see if bit kingdom delivers outside the US. They have em. I beleive they have all of these sprues except the baneblade ones.

Happen to know a US store that has those foam trays?

**H.B.M.C.**

As far as I know the Oz store has always sold them separately. It's useful when you buy a case 2nd hand and all the foam inside is cut up.

I am not sure if they have a US dealer. Their are however several US and Canadian manufactures of miniature cases who sell foam trays as well, but I am not sure if one of them has foam tray the same size as GW ones. So google it up.

BTW, I picked up my trays at a gaming convention, because you pay postage for the volume and not the weight.

**smart_alex**

geez, seems a little expensive.

Australia has a VAT tax. Blame your government for the high costs.

Do you work for free? Have you ever gotten a raise? Or asked for one?

Why is greed bad? Aren't companies entitled to make as much on their products as they feel they are entitled to?

Not an attack, I've just never understood this mindset.

They always have, at least in the US.

"Greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit.
