Looking at KoW models online and I noticed two prices for the Undead Skeleton Regiment



Undead Skeleton Regiment PLASTIC (20)
SKU: MGE KWU21-1X MSRP: 24.99

Undead Skeleton Regiment, redesign (20)
SKU: MGE KWU21-1 MSRP: 29.99

DId they make improvements to the sprue, or is it just a repackage and price hike ?

From what I remember, last summer Mantic repackaged several core units and lowered their prices.

The Orc Ax boxes for instance went from 15 or 30 models to 20 or 40 models with a price drop. Same with the ghouls and the skeletons. Went from 29.99 to 24.99.

If you can find a retail release list from around June 2013 it should have them in there.

From checking a few different webstores, it seems like some stores sell out the old boxes at a discount. The contents are exactly the same so I'm not exactly sure why.

The mantic store only offers the redesign and has priced it at 24.99$, so I think the MSRP should be adjusted as well.

The 20 skeletons for $24.99 is the current MSRP for that product. If anyone has 'em at 29.99 it's the old price.

Thank you for answering my question,

The SKUs make more sense that way as well. They added the X after the price drop.
