As seasoned veterans of the Games Day scene will know, the Games Day miniature is a one-off piece that is only available at the event itself. - Taken from GW website, Whats New Today!
Having been aware for weeks that the Games Day mini would not be free with a ticket, and subsequently only available at the show I find quotes like the one above, taken from the website, demeaning to my intelligence and a disgracefull attempt to pull the wool over our eyes.
The UK Games Day has always included a free mini, yet GW would like us all to forget this, they're trying to retcon their bloody customers now!
It's the first time since they started advertising Games Day that they've publicly revealed the mini would not be sold with the ticket, which somehow we all knew anyway!
So I probably won't be going. Essentially they are charging £30 for attending the show, and they'll expect you to pay £20 for the finecast Marine. So, if you want the Marine they have in reality upped the price for Games Day attendace from £30 to £50!
It's a cool looking mini, but I can't be bothered going to the shambles that is Games Day anymore... People spent hours queing for stuff they could simply have walked into a store to buy last year! There will no doubt be an extensive re-think of the sales system this year but i bet it falls on its backside again and the queues are horrible, queueing for the Gday mini will be rubbish too.
Anyway, thats whats new today... in order to trap their customers for financial gain Games Workshop spin more webs than a Warp Spider!
