How would the plastic meganobz box work? They just released them in finecast, I cant imagine them boxing them up in something like 5 per box like terminators and selling them for around $50 when they are trying to sell them for $22 a pop in finecast. If they wanted them in regular plastic they wouldn't have bothered with the finecast release right?

My theory is that they used the existing mold and just use resin instead of metal, hence the failcast turnout. As it stands currently, I personally have never seen a Meganob that wasn't a conversion (including my own) the sheer expense of one model doesn't justify buying it from GW, but instead converting something else in any way possible to make the cost more decent.

so a 50 dollar, or even 60 dollar plastic kit with some nice extras (like how the current two gw sells in failcast do not have the basic twin linked shoota, so maybe basics ffs.) Would make me actually think about purchasing one.

I for one would love to see a converters kit of some sort. We have so many units that require converting right now, its better to just capitalize on our love of converting existing models. (like a warboss mega armor/warbike kit, flashgit weapon kits etc.)

Yeah meganobz seem to be one of the most converted models out there. I dont know why anyone would want to pay $22 for a single mini of that size. I myself am converting some using Black Orcs. I hope theres a new plastic release, but as long as its about the same model count/ price as a terminator kit as its a rough equivalent.

GW brings models from Finecast to Plastic at a good savings pretty often. Bloodcrushers used to be like $35 for one metal one and now it's $55 for a box of three. Killa Kans were pretty much the same way, and even recently with Raptors we saw a box of five go from $45 to $33.

We also see individual finecast models drop in price when bundled.
My prediction is that we will see the current MANz made into a 3 pack for say $52, like Obliterators and Mutilators. Then when Orks get a new codex, a proper plastic box set maybe 5 for $55 or so, with more options to match an updated unit entry in the new codex.

Yadda yadda Hive Tyrant blah blah done before etc..

Release in Finecast is no guarantee that a plastic kit isn't around the corner.

I think that if they did plastic Mega Nobs they would be priced like Obliterators or Mutilators. 3 for 50 usd or so
