Hell no, here is a simple two step guide to buying GW items.

1. Save money

2. Go buy the item you want.

It really is as easy as that. there is no need to go and boycott because of a small price raise.

Like movie theatres, right? (at least here, and on other several countries from America and Europe as some contacts told me)

Where their train of thought seems to be "Piracy and online movies are hurting us, what can we do to attract more public? RAISE THE PRICES! HURRR!!!" And that's how a $7 ticket now was $10 and now it's $25 (oh, and less and less people goes :\)

So you would have to buy a whole assload of infantry to keep up with the trend? Seems even more cost prohibitive to me.

Which is perfectly fine for those of us that already use infantry-oriented armies to begin with (like... all three of my armies).

The people in the past who convinced themselves to do unspeakable things were no less human than you or I. They made their decisions; the only thing that prevents history from repeating itself is making different ones.

After reading more of this thread, I just want to know.....

Am I the only one who really only get's models on birthdays and Christmas? Mind you, that's probably why I have so few points despite having played this game for so long.

I've never feared Death or Dying. I've only feared never Trying.

No, that's what I'm reduced to the last couple years, save for a single instance of me purchasing new Exorcists (I sold the GW ones for ten percent off, and then purchased the FW ones at a pretty nice profit). For that matter, next year is looking to be much the same unless they release Sisters as a codex.

Oh, good. It has lead to me not having what I really want, but it does make me not have to worry about spending money on it. That and since I don't really play by WYSIWYG, it's kind of a non-issue.

If people stopped going in large enough numbers, the prices would come down.

I avoid movie theaters like the plague, but that's just because people won't shut the feth up during the movie.

I went to watch Iron Man II, it was enjoyable (besides the price) because we where only 10 on the whole place, and 4 where friends of mine.
