I think we all realized that GW doesn't really care about us War-gamers and I guess they firgure that they can make their price unrealistly high and except everyone the buy their products. I really want to do something like boycott GW or something. Any ideas?

Oh goody! Another one!

There are a silly number of threads on this subject. Check them out and see if any of the ideas work for you. Don't buy it if it's not worth the price to you. Buy it if it is. Don't complain if the price is higher than what it's worth. Just don't buy anymore.

Don't buy from them or their products from even the discount dealers? Enough people do it they might get the message they have outpriced their market I suppose, but don't holf your breath for it happening anytime soon.

Seems remarkably odd one thread started by a low post count guy about GW gets locked and another one gets started up almost instantly...

Sock puppet perhaps.

We need you Kan Man! GW needs defending!

Yeah, then don't buy anything from them and leave the rest of us alone, rather than assuming the intent of others.

Blame it on the world economy... they're just trying to turn a profit :-p

It's those damn Freemasons!

These threads are similar to those threads where we all put a one day embargo on Shell petrol to protest about their fuel prices. Next day everyone bought exactly what they would have bought yesterday.

If you want cheaper GW models then GW will go under and collapse. It really is that simple. They simply cannot afford to make models cheaper. Hornby models are in the same boat they make almost no profit for a worldwide company, £7million last year.

If you don't like the prices there is very little that GW can do even if they wanted to. It is the way of the world everything is getting more expensive.

Don't blame the Freemasons, it was the work of that dreadful Dr. Gull.

It was expensive 10 years ago. Welcome to hobbies-goodness.

Its a lot cheaper then other hobbies. And girl friends. And the pub.

yeah, you can quit playing, start playing solitaire, as playing cards are cheap, and stop whining!

How about we don't, and say we did?
