£60 each ! - which I don't think is a bad price.

Isn't he saying that he DOESN'T think it's a bad price?

Or unless I'm missing some sarcasm somewhere?

In 1:35 scale for £20, you know that £60 for GW's offering looks like a rip-off...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/184422/184436.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/184422/184436.page GMT RE: UK Retail Price for the Plastic Baneblade

That was a sick, sick burn.  Exalt!

I guess it's not a bad price...for GW.  I think I saw the U.S. price in another thread for $90 or $95?  I honestly expected it to be more like $110 or $120.  At least $100.

Of course, GW still has time to change the price!

Considering it is half the price of the Forgeworld version, and will be much easier to put together !

I know Tamiya kits are cheaper and more detalied, but I would not like to carry them around and game with them !]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/184422/184441.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/184422/184441.page GMT RE: UK Retail Price for the Plastic Baneblade

Sorry, I did not mean to confuse people. I actually think its a good price !!


No worries, dude.  You didn't confuse people.  You just confused beef.  ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/184422/184444.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/184422/184444.page GMT RE: UK Retail Price for the Plastic Baneblade

But it doesn't have the P.I.M.P. rules that the Baneblade does.  That's worth 40 quid to me.

However, it will not get a lot of play, being too big and powerful for most games.

You could probably buy three entire DBA armies for £60 and set up a small campaign.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/184422/184546.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/184422/184546.page GMT RE: UK Retail Price for the Plastic Baneblade

And then join the other miserable, crotchety old bastards that play that DBA and listen to an inplay rules argument that makes YMDC rules discussions with Ghaz & Ed look like two fluffy kittens playing with a ball of string - all cute and cuddly.

DBA rules set was obviously written by some-one with ESL skills and even manages to make 40k appear tightly written and Gav a lyrical genius.

It's nice when not-yet-released products get included in a price increase.

But that isn't the point.  Making the point that a 1:35 WII German tank is cheaper then a baneblade is like telling a warmachine player he could buy manga robots for cheaper and they'd have more detail.  Some people like the imagry.  If I'm out shopping for a sherman 1:35 kit and see an Italian WWII kit for half price what makes you think I'd just say "hey- that has treads and a gun- SOLD!"?

The funny thing is the original price of the Baneblade has already gone up in Australia, and it hasn't even been released yet.

It's nice when not-yet-released products get included in a price increase.

If it hasn't been released, and you haven't spent any money on it, did it really go up? price sheets are due to change all the time.  so, in all reality the price never went up, it will just be higher than anticipated.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/184422/185450.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/184422/185450.page GMT RE: UK Retail Price for the Plastic Baneblade

No offense, but the logic is a  bit weak here.  I don't really think that's a valid point.  Not in the sense that it's invalid, just in the sense that it's not really a point.

It simply begs the question: what if it has been released, and you haven't spent any money on it, did it really go up then?  Or is the price just higher than anticipated?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/184422/185462.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/184422/185462.page GMT RE: UK Retail Price for the Plastic Baneblade http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/184422/185535.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/184422/185535.page GMT RE: UK Retail Price for the Plastic Baneblade

If a tree falls in the woods, and no one's around to hear it, does your argument make any more sense?

Yes, the price went up.

It was a question. If the tree that fell was oak then yes. if it was any other wood, then no.
