I was just browsing the GW site here in the U.S., it's 1:10 in the morning, and from what I can tell, almost everything has been bumped up, the $82.50 Stormraven is now $110.00. Same price increase for both Land Raider variants and practically all imperial tanks have been boosted up to 83.00 including all similar kits of the other races. The super heavies for the Imperial Guard are now $165.00!! What the heck is going on to warrant this sudden price hike?!

Check your region. You're probably on the Austrailian site.

Yeah, that sounds like the Australian prices you looking at there.

Well I was ordering some things on uk gw and they have put up the postage. Instead of £10 free delivery its £20 now. I was a little angry.

Yeah, you just saw the horrendous Australian prizes. I can understand your shock.

...Oh thank God...I just got back into this game and a price hike like that all of a sudden would have killed me. Though I have no idea how it got switched from US to AU in a matter of hours. o_o

Too right. But to be fair, the new royalmail prices are murder - up by around 50 per cent. When I was selling lots of small bits and games last year on eBay, postage was always around £1.30. Now it's around £1.80 - and if it's thicker than 25mm, you're talking £3 plus. So it's probably costing GW an extra £1 a pop.

(Not that I didn't believe the price rise headline when I saw it... only a matter of time I'm sure...)

Happens quite a lot.

I'm going to lock this then.
