I actually don't think the 7ed BRB is priced too horribly - three hardcover books for around $100 from GW? I'm surprised they didn't want 100 each considering the way the pricing has gone. Maybe that's one of their hidden strategies - make everything else so expensive that a slightly less-expensive product comes off as a deal.

Well let's just consider for a minute that two years ago on this date you would have bought the 5th edition book for £30 and if that was too much money you could have bought the 5th edition starter box for £50 that had the soft-back rules and a butt-load of great models in it. A codex cost £12 to £18 depending on thickness.

Basically GW have managed to double the price of all the books in two years just by putting on hard covers and splitting the core ruleset into fluff/art/rules books.

I like the fluff/art/rules split but not if I have to buy all three that I don't want for a higher price.

Do you mean to say 6ED? Wasn't that the newest edition two years ago? It makes sense that you could buy an out-dated BRB for less if not. Anyway, one of the best deals in a very long time to come out as far as 6ED was the Dark Vengeance box set - that is one thing that GW did very fairly and will hopefully continue with.
