Want to know what's sad? The AUD is worth about the same as the USD (Been fluctuating +/- 5 cents per dollar for a bit) Yet GW forces them to pay more for the same item.

The worst part was even thought I thought you were smoking crack I had to check just to make sure. Pretty sad that I actually wasn't sure about GW almost doubling their prices.

The Canadian Dollar is roughly the same too, but we still pay something like 10-20% more AND higher taxes. Free healthcare my ass....

Money don't grow on trees, but I personally love living in a country with a national health service. I'd rather pay my taxes for that than buy minis (I know, I know... shocking, but it's true...)

As for the prices on the GW site- they did go up in the UK because of the VAT increase, but this thread made me LOL a bit. I would have a fit if I had logged in and seen the prices doubled.

I have recently been diagnosed with swelling in the brain, so please excuse spelling mistakes and faulty sentences. I am losing my ability to type and talk effectively, but dammit, that is not going to stop me from trying.

We're past parity now, but the items I bought at the weekend were 25% more which really sucks.

I want to get a Baneblade but I refuse to pay the Canadian price - I'm going to wait until I go back to the UK and get one from the discounters.

If the postal service here was a bit more reliable I would purchase exclusively from UK suppliers. However my stuff tends to go missing if insurance or company guarentee isnt there (and my family feels insurance is a frivolous waste...).

We buy from overseas or use local sellers who also buy from overseas.

Many local dealers offer up to 25% off RRP (which helps).

We play with other manufacturer's stuff or play other games, or use the internet to search for alternate sources.


GW haven't run tournaments for several years now (and haven't run any of them well) and have also stopped tourney support (we can't even buy their trophies anymore), so the gloves have come off on modelling restrictions.

Fixed as a lot of those were surprisingly accurate.


I use Maelstrom a fair bit, drives the prices down to what they probably are in America and actually in line with the current exchange rates.
Not to mention that sometimes the New Zealand prices advertised in the WD seem to be a projection for what it will be like here after the next price rise.

Luckily though a FLGS opened nearby recently so I was able to get some Warmachine stuff dispite the problems Maelstrom seems to be having with their supplier at the moment due to the increased demand for PP stuff.

Why do people randomly capitalize random words when they're angry?

Just buy from Warstore anyway, it's 20% cheaper.
