I knew FW was expensive, but bloody hell...

I guess FW is stepping into the global weaponry enterprise.

Those must be life size military entrenchment service they are offering.

Instead of posting it here, how about telling them about it so that they can y'know...fix it?

And what makes you think I have not?

If i purchase the wrong priced item , and it gets charged into credit card , which is obviously wrong amount.

Will FW feel bad and give it for free after charging back the credit card?

Probably not. And I don't think your credit card will have a high enough limit to purchase something for £88,888 anyway

Though feel free to add it to your basket etc to see if it is actually priced at that cost, or if it is just a display error of some sort.

Edit: I just added one of them to my basket and it is that price. Ouch

Just making sure, Silver

Especially since I was going to be getting a few Hydra platforms this year.
(Not at these prices sadly. Unless they're ACTUAL Hydra platforms. In which case, woe to my neighbor's damned cats!)

As a sidenote, earlier today they actually had IA8 up for preorder by mistake(at least I think it was a mistake).

Personally, I'm glad they don't go with that stuff.

Yeah, it's neat, but without it, it loads that much faster(plus, GW's always been behind on tech, so they probably think we all still run Dial-up).

I like it, the flash drop down menus are clutch

Y'know...I have to say, I agree with you Plat.

I like GW/FW's minimalist style for their sites. I sometimes have problems finding things on the Infinity site(and that's not counting the broken image links or circular links you sometimes stumble across on the English site), the West Wind Miniatures site is a tad bit of a mess, and don't even get me started on Privateer's...

Plus:
If you're going to do 360 views, I don't want to see a flash animated 360 view of a fully painted model. I want to see the bare plastic/metal so I can start figuring out how I'm going to do it differently.

I'd much rather have a website that is easy to navigate and easy on the eyes than flashy and complicated. I like how basic and easy it is and love the fact that I don't have spots in my vision when I look away from the screen.
