Buy your Necron Warriors now before the price rises and then the kit is replaced by one with more options in it!
Am I doing business right, GW?

That's why they have multiple game systems and a constant stream of new/updated models, as well as a third edition of their flagship game out.

Both Cadian boxes are going up £2.50 (to £22.50) in the UK, and we've not seen any Necromunda mentioned yet.

It's going to be pricey to be sure. I'm predicting the new codex drops will come in about 50 to 60 USD standard. I'd caution people who don't like tossing their cash into the fire to just keep up with the army you'll actually play and only when you are going to be able to play. As is I don't foresee when this year I'll even get a chance to play another game so I'm no rush personally.

I think GW has a ( IMO justified) perception that customers will be willing to pay more for a higher-quality kit even if that kit is a 'remaster' of an older model.

But why increase the price of the OLD kit when it's shortly going to be replaced anyway?

Because they get the collector's mindset.
Some will not like it because it isn't the old kit, some won't want the new kit because they don't match the old kit, so profit on the rush before the price rise, then profit on the rush before the kit is retired. Then profit on the new kit.
Its like the underpants gnomes joke, except:
Step 1: Profit
Step 2: Also Profit
Step 3: Profit some more.
As a bonus, it helps clear excess stock that would otherwise just be destroyed (as I seriously doubt they're going to bother making new casts of the current kit after showing off the replacement)

I assume because omitting kits from the price increases would be a dead giveaway that they are getting replaced, and GW wants to maintain more control over their previews than that.

because people are more likley to accept the price increase with the new box if the gab is smaller
old box is 20, new one is 30 is hard but if you raise the old box to 25 some time before people will say that just 5 more for shiny new stuff is ok

No matter how many times you shill for Games Workshop, they're not going to give you any free models. Sorry.
For your own sake, I hope that last line was a poor attempt at humor rather than an earnestly held belief. It'd be far less embarrassing for you to be an abysmal comedian than a conspiracy theorist.

Well they sure did control that information for all of twelve hours before revealing the new kit...
Destroyers and Monoliths didn't increase, but they're getting replaced too.

I mean, I’ve received free minis (from GW even) for shilling. But I had to do it in person, by the sweat on my brow.
They weren’t so pricey back then, though.

Were it my choice I would not have raised the price of the old kit (and/or 25 for the new one, for that matter), but putting myself in the mindset of GWs perspective I can see why they did it even if I do not agree.

I mean GW is worth all the good will, they care only about you, their love is strange, not like ours. They love us, by charging us ever more money for the same offerings. They should be called Games WorkshopDD, with the Double Ds for a Double Dip of their price adjustments game.

Just a little reminder that the prices go up (sorry, "are adjusted") from Monday onwards, so if there was something on the list you wanted anyway, you may want to pick it up this weekend before it increases as much as 20% in some cases.

returning player here, I'm about to purchase my first boxes of CSM...
So I'm assuming they are dropping prices of some old models (I'm interested into Talons and Raptors) because new -pricey- designs are around the corner ?

I don't believe GW has ever dropped the prices of anything outside of special offers. Buy now before the stuff gets more expensive.

7 Ork facts people always get wrong:
Ragnar did not win against Thrakka, but suffered two crushing defeats within a few days of each other.
A lasgun is powerful enough to sever an ork's appendage or head in a single, well aimed shot.
Orks meks have a better understanding of electrics and mechanics than most Tech Priests.
Orks do not think that purple makes them harder to see. They do think that camouflage does however, without knowing why.
Gharkull Blackfang did not even come close to killing the emperor.
Orks can be corrupted by chaos, but few of them have any interest in what chaos offers.
Orks do not have the power of believe. |

Right!? Imagine gakking on them in this thread. Not that I want to post reddit/4chan tier memes but some people just want to CONSOOOOOOOOM.
I'm not going to stop buying GW because I'm a stupid addict. That said, I've slowed purchases to a trickle. But I will cringe every time I press that purchase button and maybe one day I'll be in a position where my bank account won't be able to take the hit. I hope I'll be able to fully stop then...

Well I checked the pre-releases today and quite frankly my head exploded ...I am I think pretty much done with "chasing the GDW plastic train" . I have walls of un-built GDW plastics and thousands of points built .Enough to last a lifetime . I have stopped buying the endless train of rulebooks through sheer exhaustion of trying to keep up. I think it is time to go back to my origins and start playing Rogue Trader again ....
