Im doomed.

Necrons were released. I...I couldn't help myself. *cries*

Whole bunch of paints, a new hobby drill, two sets of new brushes, and about 8 boxes of guard and marines combined....about 150-250 I think...

About 140$, since I can't buy models that often.

Are parents now days that rich or are the children just that spoiled?

I saw parent dropped down $400+ for their son that never played warhammer.

Too much. That Necron codex was ill-timed for me.

I've bought about $600 US of product, bit I've only paid about $300 for it. (buying from GW is never a fiscally responsible decision).

Too much indeed. 800ish?

Nothing new this year. I picked up a couple of old used minis on ebay but these were like 2nd ed miniatures so that shouldn't count.

About 6k more worth of skaven and 2k of Imperial Guard (just starting 40k)

I bought some undead wolves, some blood letters, a five-pack of imperial guard riflemen(the snap together) and some orcs for LOTR and that's about it. So...about 90 bucks?

About 1500 points of IG, 3500 points of marines, a bunch of FW stuff, a DE megaforce, an Imperial Sector (my 3rd!), some codexes and IA books.

I've been distracted with buying airsoft kit so the wargaming has been a bit neglected.

First half 2011, through end of June: $2100
Second half, July 1 - Dec 31: $1475

These amounts are GW purchases. I bought other stuff from other online vendors, but can't parse that money out to GW vs. non-GW.

Looking back, I started Orcs and Goblins this year, and also supplemented my Orks, finally buying many random things for fun. Things like monsters, plastic characters for fantasy, garden of morr, etc.

That 2nd half decline is due to not buying because of poor quality of finecast... won't buy any more of those. Also, looking at stuff and saying, huh, just not worth the price after the June increase.

Will be a lot less this year, I expect. None of my armies are getting any love so it will be all random purchases.

Edit: At least, according to current rumors, none of my armies are getting any love.

I vote spoiled. I've seen quite a few parents buy the starter set + one or two other kits + paints/glue all at once for their 8yo who can't possibly be capable of putting it all together or painting it OR playing the game.

That doesn't even count the kids that get dropped off at the GW babysitter's club...seriously, there's this one kid that's been in almost every day I've been there lately...(and I'm there kind of a lot...more than I should be, anyways)

All of my GW purchases were here through the swap shop... so... does that count even?

I bought much, much less GW this year then in years previous. I know for sure around $550 at the warstore on GW product, but that was split among only 2 purchases: a $230 ROBB on 1/7/11 and $280 on the Necron release. Other than those, that was virtually it from gee dubs.

I spent more on other things, though which are definitely in support of my GW purchases - some vallejo paints, a new compressor, some W&N Series 7 brushes - a lot of stuff like that. I also got a bunch of Warmachine stuff (which I still have never played, and it's mostly boxed), the Battletech starter and some Ironwind minis, things like that.

Hrmm.

Few codices and army books.
Very few minis in total (DE Black Dragon, Sorceress, Hydra, Saurus Oldblood and a BA Battleforce for some Fleshtearers).
Some bits.

Still shy of the $500 mark.

non on GW in 2011. same for 2010. maybe 6th edition will lure me back, but i doubt it. the ominous GW powerhouse that was is no more. It seems now it is more of little kids with mommy's money and older players not willing to let go.

Lets see a GW Realm of Battle board, $200 + in paints, $600+ in necrons, dreadfleet, a few hundred on my other armies.... It adds up really quickly.

I'll tell you right now it wouldn't be my parents.

Um....three paints...


And that's it!

It would count.

It doesnt matter where, with who, or for how much. Aslong as you purchased something, received something,
that makes you part of the "demand" for GW product. Which helps sustain their value's worth ( which is especially important for
setting the price for items not 100% new )

I'm pretty sure it's £0. I can't remember the last GW thing I bought.

I cleared out a good few miniatures through Ebay though so I'm well into the minus figures. Probably to the tune of about £150.

Plastic Soldier and Privateer Press got most of my money.
