I had a random encounter with a neighbour about three weeks ago. He came past my house walking his doq while I was spraying Tyranids for my son. He paused, looked at it and said 'I know what that is' and we had a chat for ten minutes about his son being into the game.

The key thing I got from the chat was the fella felt it was almost unbelievably expensive.

I have also seen three mothers recoil in horror at seeing the prices when their sons have asked them about while I've been loitering at A GW store, and a local independent in the past year.

I think the bank of Little Timmy might be wearing thin, sadly/fortunately (depending on your view) GW are about to get a three year get out of jail card thanks to the Hobbit.

Maybe not, is gonna be damn impressive if this time lasts as long/does as well as the get out of jail card they got from LOTR.

Unfortunately they stretched The Hobbit into 3 movies. So yeah. That card got renewed.
