Those Dark Angel / Crimson Slaughter figs are selling for $140. Wow.
I honestly still have the 6th ed Limited set, and was recently thinking of getting rid of it. I love the concept of the game, its actually a near perfect set. I love the narrative of the scenarios (hate when those aren't included like in 5th), the models were great, and I even bought the model and rules for the Aspiring Champ when they released it for 7th. Also bought and read the Novella, which I liked. But beyond starting to paint the models, I never did anything with it. I never bought a single thing to expand the collection or edition, and then GW released 7th like 2 years later and that was the straw that broke the camels back. By the time 8th came out I was over keeping up with 40k.
Here is the crazy thing, I still have 3rd edition. I actually have two sets - one unopened tucked away in a closet. The rulebook has starter lists for all the armies at the time. That is what I have kept as my go-to game. Sure I don't have the rules for the newer models but I find what rules I have are more than enough - essentially enough to play whatever models I have. Plus when the models started getting too big for the gaming table I was starting to lose interest.
I printed out copies of all the armies lists and rules from the 3rd ed codexes and binded them for shits and giggles, so if I ever really wanted to, I could explore more options, but I have stuck with only buying models that are in the black book army lists. And over time, like I did recently with WFB, I have far more unbuilt 40k models than I do built and painted.
But I have a lifetime of work to do, so I don't need to keep up. I also hate the Primaris. In my little world I have more than enough to keep me occupied.
So I had given thought to getting rid of the Dark Vengeance set, as I am not intersted in 6th anymore, but then I see the rising prices for minis and like this set, and think, just hold on to them in case you want to build them (they don't take up a lot of room). I wouldn't be surprised to see the same model count sell for $280 some day, and I will def not be buying minis then.
Its amazing that GW is more popular than ever yet I have lost interest in keeping up with them. I am just over the continuous creative destruction, being disappointed great games aren't supported, or getting sucked into buying a new model that doesn't really belong on a 4X4 gaming board.
The new Adeptus Titanicus is probably the last game I ever buy from them, and I still havent done anything with mine.
