Probably old news, but GW jacked the price of the TK Battalion box from 90USD to 120USD with the only change being the boxart matching the new armybook(contents exactly the same).

Why GW, why?

I thought they added like 4 or 8 more skeletons though!

Nope, it was 40 Skellies in the last box too.

That is incorrect. It was 32 skeletons. I should know as I bought one of my local GW's last box of the old battalion because of this very change. The Old box was a fantastic value as you got the equivalent of 4 boxes that if bought separately would have cost $140 US. So the old box represented a savings of 36%. The new box with 40 skele's, 8 Cav, 3 Chariots does not have an exact individual unit box equivalent anymore, but assuming that a single skeleton is worth $2.1875 ($35 US/16) then the contents of the new box if you could buy them separately would be $157.50 and thus represents a minimal 24% savings. I say minimal because I am sure GW would claim since you would have to buy 3 boxes of Skeletons to get at least the same number as in the battalion box that the savings of getting the battalion box vs buying separately is 31%.
