Everything going up in cost has forced Privateer Press to increase the cost of their metal minature lines read the article for yourselfs

I don't have Excel at home. I'll have to check it at work on Monday.

Regardless, at least PP gives their customers a reason for their price hikes, instead of having them seem random and arbitrary.

An interesting tidbit from the article:

"We are currently exploring a variety of other manufacturing methods that we hope will lead towards a savings on the cost of manufacturing and the ability to stabilize prices. This includes alternative metals as well as plastic components for the model kits."

Plastic Warmachine? Where do I sign up?

yeah i caught that too but it may be awhile before we see any of the other stuff hence forth the notice. my local press ganger has yet to put in his two cents on the situation. it was bound to happen and will probaly happen across the board into other mini games as well

One of the posters on the PP forums made this handy list, including color-coordinated increase percentages.

Personally, I wouldn't mind if they at least went with plastic jacks... either a couple of ounces of pewter or literally half a pound for say a IC or a Defender...
