I hope expansions are supplements and not expansions like vigilus ans psychic awakening.
They should do that when ALL codexes are released. And new expansions should involve all armies.
Not like vigilus boosting just a few.

They should just move everything to europe, to lake a point to those stupid british eggheads who voted for brexit because thoseleader where afraid to make a descision...

Things we know are coming that would qualify as Codex or expansions in my mind are:

Codex Death Guard
Codex Supplement Dark Angels
Codex Drukari
War Zone Charadon Act 1: The Book of Rust
Plague Purge Mission Pack

The cynic in me thinks that GW already adjusted their prices to post-brexit levels during the last price hike. This doesn't mean they are "fair"; it actually means they have been overcharging for a while and now they are just going to be having the same profit margins as before brexit.

All this is meaningless in the grand scheme of things, since the next price hike will be here sooner or later anyway..

But I like the decreased pace of product releases going forward. Once a week always felt like they were rushing things, maybe the books will benefit from extra proofreading time as a result (one an hope).

Or not. Every year price hikes stopped long time ago in favour of upping prices of new sku's(which results ln box that's practically same as other but more pricey)

It seems to just be January and February that are once a fortnight rather than once a week, so nothing will get extra proofreading time really.
That said, the global situation means Warhammer releases in January and February will be lighter than in recent years.

Rather than weekly, you’ll see new releases every fortnight, with the first pre-orders of 2021 on the 16th of January.

For a normal person or small trader, I expect it'll need one of those declarations that you get if you post from the US, China or the like.

I daresay an extra couple of minutes per parcel multiplied by a few hundred parcels a week for some companies represents an extra man-day per week in labour, but I daresay much of it will be automateable in short order much like address labels on eBay.

They started up yearly price hikes again about 2 years ago. Last...May/June, and about 6 months ago.

Not quite so easy likely. Albeit easier for single item but process is multi stepped and for container(each) it's over inch thick paper pile. Expected cost for companies 7% of item value. So gw is looking at paying about 7% due to non-tarif red tape

My biggest fear with GW and brexit isn't increasing prices per se but rather that GW will try to prevent UK-stores from selling to european customers. Being unable to utilize the great service of the british online-discounters would be a MAYOR blow for my hobby budget!

this thing is guaranteed to happen and the only chance to get around it would be a small detail in the trade deal that UK still need to follow the free market rules

Well question is is uk gov interested in changing it. Iirc they voted for law that integrates existing eu laws to uk law unless changed(saves time). So for now i think law is there. Is it something uk gov wants to change?

I think it's too soon to say for sure. I haven't seen the whole text of the trade-deal released yet but the UK is leaving the common market so it's entirely possible that GW are free to restrict indy-retailers in the UK to selling strictly to the UK in the future.

That would be a real tragedy so I'm really hoping that there is something in the agreement that prevents this. Really worried though...

Oh no doubt. My point was uk had already put existing eu laws to uk law as is with plan to change as fit. I doubt deal affects this so uk gov is free to change law if they want it but as default it should still be forbidden. Could be wrong though and misunderstood something or they have indeed already changed it.

Well we'll see. I would expect changes to system anyway though. Red tape uk store would need to fill adds up work ergo money. Might add to shipping fees

by default it is allowed as the UK is not part of the single market any more hence GW can forbid UK shops to sell things to the EU
(there are just no additional fees/taxes by default)

only if the new Trade Deal keeps UK as part of the single market, GW cannot do it

Yet UK not being part of the single market but on its own was one of the big points, so I don't think this would change with the Deal

I thought so!

That, combined with the usual 'the new thing costs more' + "repacks with less models for the same price" = well, pretty much business as usually for...quite some time now.

Still, I'm looking forward to shopping and gaming in person "SOON" in 2021!

umm so now I'm confused. Originally when the deal was reached with EU, it was said that there wont be additional customs fees to EU customers of UK companies? And just yesterday I read that actually, there will be extra costs after all, you have to pay VAT and god knows what else.. making effectively UK as expensive for EU people to shop in than USA.

Can someone enlighten me please? How's it going to go for real? I'm too "entitled" to read the 1800-page contract, and even if I did read it, I'm not sure I'd be able to interpret all the implications of it correctly..

What's worse, my recent FW order still hasn't shipped, so according to my info I will have to pay
all these VATs etc unless FW starts shipping my order before 1st of Jan 2021.. That's 2 days from now

Well, a ship lost nearly 2000 containers at the beginning of December.

Whether or not any contained GW product is another matter.
