From WarCom - Hey folks,
We’ve got news for you today on two things – the return of new releases and a price adjustment on some existing products.
Price Adjustment This June
From the first of June, around 400 Warhammer products will change in price (there are well over 3,000 Warhammer items available right now). Most of the items that are changing haven’t moved in price for years.
The RRP on the majority of Warhammer will stay the same.
Even so, we wanted to give you a heads-up so you have a chance to pick up anything you were looking to add to your collection ahead of the changes. To make this even easier, we’ve collected all these items together and popped them in one handy place over on games-workshop.com.
New Releases Are Back!
We know you’ve been waiting patiently to get your hands on some new releases for weeks now. Well, the wait is almost over!
We’re pleased to say our factory in Nottingham has resumed operation, and after a two-month hiatus* new releases are set to return, available to pre-order from May 30th, with new models landing on shelves/at your door from June 6th.
We’ll have news for you on exactly what you can look forward to ordering in the next few days. Until then, don’t forget to share what you’re currently working on with us using #WarhammerCommunity.
*During which we’re sure you took the opportunity to finish ALL your unpainted models…

Website is only showing the bottom of the page. Mobile site seems to be fine though, sans the price increase section.

There is a link to the stuff going up, but it's temperamental - 450 items apparently.

OK doke.
Time to ready the cash cannon, so I can get stuff before the price rise.
And definitely looking forward to pre-orders returning. Wonder how they’ll handle it. Massive splurge of the backlog (produced, taking up warehouse space, precious finite warehouse space), or just double up for a few weeks to clear that backlog?

Probably wishful thinking but interesting that they call it price adjustments instead of price increases, so maybe we could even see some kits that sold bad decrease in price?

I doubt it - there was a directive from the shareholders / board that nothing could be reduced in price (which is why some boxes doubled in size and the Start Collecting boxes were introduced).

Yeah some of those kits are pretty new..Underworlds war bands are going up - Nid hormagaunts and gargoyles are going up.. I'm surprised the troop kits are going up.
Wouldn't mind picking up a few bits and bobs but I don't have a lot of spare cash at the mo..

Try the 4 month old battle sanctum that was already an eye watering £65. Automatically Appended Next Post: The most galling thing is it's not just a random 450 items, its the 450 items core to practically and force in any game.

I know we all are gonna just suck it up because well say "its just 2-15€ (for the bigger kits) but... it really sucks man. Year after year.
In nearly every other industry old products become cheaper but in this, they become more expensive. Is bananas.

I love the idea that Khorne Berzerkers somehow need a price rise because their price hasn’t changed for years.

What a joke, especially seeing that Neophyte Hybrids (which are already 33 € released in late 2016 costing 10 points more than an Infantry Squad) are gonna get price increased lol.

As a note, these sometimes aren't just price rises. It also rarely coincides with price drops or repackaging of products.

Annoyed that Daemonettes, that just got a price bump, are getting bumped again.
Edit: All daemon troops were brought in line with horrors. And now all of them are getting bumped.

It is probably going to be the traditional 2 pounds for the smaller kits. Not going to blow away 100 pounds now to save a couple of quid later  Btw some start collecting boxes are also going to up in price seeing as some units in them may get the price raise now, the Necron box for example

Cool, so come back to me when you can buy a Magmadroth by itself.

Yeah, and Stormcast Eternal infantry was repackaged to drop the price per model just like LOTR boxes. And that was great!
But last summer they did the same, a price hike across nearly all of the range. This probably will became the new norm.

Which is my point. The Magmadroth when it was $112USD? They wouldn't admit that it wasn't selling well at that price--so they just released a Start Collecting with it and ceased selling you the Magmadroth by itself. These kinds of 'price adjustment' timeframes are when they discontinue old SKUs after the panic-buying. There's already at least one down in the form of Fenrisian Wolves(who are now No Longer Available Online).

Announcing price increases right now might be the most tone deaf thing GW has ever done. Can I just give them my unemployment check directly or is there a barter system where I can use the canned food I got from the bread line?

Yeah, I mean, the price increase coincides exactly with me losing my job, so... guess it's time to actually stop buying.

I think this is the real issue, they've picked a time when the fewest people can afford or tolerate it. I'm lucky enough to have been working throughout but my other half is on the tail end of her maternity so we're harder up than usual.
I'd literally an hour earlier saod to her that if there was a cool looking new big box with crons later in the year following Saturday, I'd be all over it. Now I know that most core necron kits are going up, it's stopped me in my tracks.
