Get a clue people. There is no price increase.

Aussie's sucks that you are hit so hard. Why GW doesnt open a factory there I dont know, works well in the US.

My Rhino's cost me 50 points Black Templars ftw :(
on other things, if there is a price hike it's been in the works for a while now surely? new finecasts and with 6th, don't GW do a price hike every few years also =[

If this turns out to be accurate, my impending return to the hobby has just been cancelled.

Sup Privateer Press. Oh looks Dust Tactics has some nice stuff as well...

Though you can see how some would instantly believe anything concerning it around this time of the year as they seem to do it every year.

Assuming these rates are real, I find it interesting how only the Vanilla book, Black Templars and Tau are going up in price but no other codices. Is this a sign of what's next in line?

Because they don't want us to pay less. IIRC< Wells talked about this in the financial report a while ago, and the reason for the embargo. They want Australians to be paying the Australian prices in Australian dollars, because they're making a fortune off of us.

Remind me again, whats stopping 3rd party retailers taking advantage of this price discrepency from "smuggling" cheap GW products into Oz through the mail?

No idea, Wayland mentioned setting it up then nothing so must have been shut down. I suppose if these prices do become more close to ours, we can hope Canada stays the same and move onto there maybe.

Then when all that fails there's simple green and eBay.

I doubt anyone will believe me if they don't believe this already. The price changes are real. They are going into effect Monday June 4th. I work at a module 2 store and got this from our rep today.

Pretty sure that would actually be illegal smuggling.
I believe if you want to import goods for sale then you have to legally declare that (and pay associated taxes), which GW could become aware of, and that 3rd party would be breaching their agreements.
Plus it requires them to set up a distribution centre, employ staff, incorporate a company...

I think this price list is fake, but I wouldn't be surprised if its not.

If this is true I'm moving to Canada for four years! Wait...

I lol'd.

I can see places like Dicebucket becoming more attractive for Aussies if they weren't already.

$150au for a Stormraven... I can't see them selling anything anymore.

Well, if the 12%-15% increase in prices are correct, it may have finally reached the tipping point for most players. There is high quality models on the internet that will beat out the new prices. I'll be sad to see 6th edition bomb while they price themselves out of the market, because that may start a steep decline in Games-Workshop's going concern.

Scibor Models better be ready for some new customers =D

Oh this is quite silly.

How the hate flows. How it spreads!

Trust me gents, there won't be a price hike tomorrow. And if there is, well, I'll sing a song selected by the first person to respond and put it on Derpa.

its funny how I don't actually buy anything anymore. hahaha. good luck everyone!

My FLGS confirmed this. They got the same email. This isn't April 1st. The hike isn't tomorrow though, at least as far as he knew.

It's insane.

Yeah, until GW or at least Mikhaila confirms, I'm gonna pass.

GW has gotten so expensive that now I simply look towards Forgeworld for most of my future purchases now!

Even if this price increase is true, that is still going to be the case.

While I haven't read it yet, there's an e-mail regarding this year's price increase sitting in our company inbox. I'm inclined to believe this one.

I don't really see how people are thinking this is likely fake. They've done it the last few years, why should this year be any different?

Yep, just read the e-mail. It's real alright.

But really, wont this just drive more and more of GW customers to FLGS and other non GW shops that sell the product at near close to cost?

Like every year, leading to the following year's price increase.

It's going to be so surreal seeing Land Raiders at about $150au.

It's an interesting price increase. The prices that jumped like a crazy man were mainly heavy support type choices. Transports all seem to be 37.50 now which is interesting. But heavy tanks and heavy flyers are where the cash went. Troops mostly only went up like $1.25 per box or not at all. Core stuff didn't move much. It's the heavy vehicles that most people don't buy more than 1-2 of that jumped....

So when will the website update? Midnight?
