I don't know if anyone else noticed, but I was looking at some of the black friday web bundles on the GW web store...at first the pricing didn't seem to make any sense. For example, the chaos one, by my first estimation, should have come out to somewhere around $270 based on my most recent knowledge of GW prices, but it was priced at $375. Thinking there must have been some mistake I looked at how the individual models were priced and my jaw dropped. $110 for a land raider? $90 for a forgefiend and $75 for a terminator squad? Is this were the regular prices are at this point? Or is this a "special" for black friday?

Are you sure you are in the right store and not AUS dollars?

honestly there's someone making a fuzz about this every day and this was the cause 100% of the times.

You don't have to be happy when you lose, just don't make winning the condition of your happiness.

If you're seeing prices like that, you're on a different country's storefront. Probably Australia.

The Chaos web bundle is $250, components would be $299.25 individually. So you save $49.25.


The in-store bundle for Chaos is SIGNIFICANTLY better though.
2 Chaos Forgefiends
Possessed
2 Chaos Terminator Squads
Chaos Land Raider
$295 USD

Price of components? $345.
So for a difference of seventy-five cents in savings, and $45 you lose Abaddon...but get a second Forge Fiend.

Question withdrawn...I don't know why it routed me to the Australian page but I'll check that beforehand.

GW's website is being screwy with locations. I was shocked at the across the board price increases until i realized that for some reason my location was switched to canada.

Maybe they route everyone that way every now and again so you see how bad it COULD be.

"Well, $35 for a single plastic character sounds very reasonable now that I've seen what those poor,poor Aussies are paying...Thanks GW!"

"Holy Sh*&, you've opened my eyes and changed my mind about this topic, thanks Dakka OT!"

So has anyone figured out why GW just puts you in a random location? Because I'm super sick of seeing the disgusting ua prices (seriously, first you guys have to deal with leaping venomous Scorptipuses, then this??)

"Got you, Yugi! Your Rubric Marines can't fall back because I have declared the tertiary kaptaris ka'tah stance two, after the secondary dacatarai ka'tah last turn!"

"So you think, Kaiba! I declared my Thousand Sons the cult of Duplicity, which means all my psykers have access to the Sorcerous Facade power! Furthermore I will spend 8 Cabal Points to invoke Cabbalistic Focus, causing the rubrics to appear behind your custodes! The Vengeance for the Wronged and Sorcerous Fullisade stratagems along with the Malefic Maelstrom infernal pact evoked earlier in the command phase allows me to double their firepower, letting me wound on 2s and 3s!"

"you think it is you who has gotten me, yugi, but it is I who have gotten you! I declare the ever-vigilant stratagem to attack your rubrics with my custodes' ranged weapons, which with the new codex are now DAMAGE 2!!"

"...which leads you straight into my trap, Kaiba, you see I now declare the stratagem Implacable Automata, reducing all damage from your attacks by 1 and triggering my All is Dust special rule!"

I can't imagine any legitimate reason to actually set that to random. So I'm gonna guess random glitch.

And so the "PRICE INCREASE! No Australia..." clock gets reset to zero.

Thank you all.
