I just looked at the sprue database and considering its accurate, the new plastic Ravener box contains a whopping two sprues for $45.
Anyone else see any ridiculous pricing?

They shall be my finest warriors, these men who give of themselves to me. Like clay I shall mould them, and in the furnace of war forge them. They will be of iron will and steely muscle. In great armour shall I clad them and with the mightiest guns will they be armed. They will be untouched by plague or disease, no sickness will blight them. They will have tactics, strategies and machines so that no foe can best them in battle. They are my bulwark against the Terror. They are the Defenders of Humanity. They are my Space Marines and they shall know no fear.

There's plenty of ridiculous prices.
Ravenor prices are definitely pretty ridiculous.
What I find hilarious is that a Trygon model is only 5 bucks more than a Carnifex. How on Earth?
Best one for me is probably the Skyray and Hammerhead problem; the Skyray has all the pieces necessary to do a Hammerhead, plus more. They both cost the same!

Cue Seinfeld.
"What is it with these prices?!"

Six mistakes mankind keeps making century after century: Believing that personal gain is made by crushing others; Worrying about things that cannot be changed or corrected; Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it; Refusing to set aside trivial preferences; Neglecting development and refinement of the mind; Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do |

When GW did Sprue direct sales the Sprues were universally more expensive then the full kit when bought separately. No real change here.
Edit: Following your Link and seeing what exactly you are saying; Yes the raveners are almost $45 for 3 models, But you are getting 3 models that are larger than terminators and have more bitz per box... so the price is slightly mitigated.
At least it gives you nearly every option that they have.

This is my Rulebook. There are many Like it, but this one is mine. Without me, my rulebook is useless. Without my rulebook, I am useless.
Stop looking for buzz words and start reading the whole sentences.
