In June we will be increasing the price of some of our metal, plastic and hobby products. The price change will take effect from the 1st of June.

Oh, for pity's sake.

Awesome, it'll be after I buy loads of metal plaguebearers.

Awesome, it'll be just before the new Empire comes out.........

Plastics will go up to £15 a box, they have started already anyway. Metals are already too expensive to be even considered buyable. £12 for a Troll? The model hasn't changed since it was £8 and I doubt it's been cast lately.

You have more Warhammer than most of us combined, i'm sure a few quid won't effect you.

So it that price rise in line with inflation? LMAO

Don't forget folks it's a hobby and you don't have to play

Since I am fairly loaded, threads like these amuse me only when I smoke my havannas.

What are these *warhammer miniatures* you speak of? I convert my armies from whatever I have lying around.

You're not the first person to say that. The voices beat you to that ages ago.

Well, I have been collecting GW stuff for 13 years.

I belive that I am one of the few who hasn't complained about GW's prices. I understand the complaints , but also am understanding of the prices.

Toro_Blanco · « **Reply #15 on:** April 14, 2009, 07:28:25 PM »

The prices always bug me, but I've long since learned that bitching about something never changes it.

I gripe to myself for a while when something bothers me, then I get over it and start thinking of what to actually DO about it. In this case scrap some plans for new armies.

Hey, they raise prices they risk losing business. I'm part of that risk.

McKnight · « **Reply #16 on:** April 14, 2009, 07:58:15 PM »

shit....

Lord Quiran de Lancastre · « **Reply #17 on:** April 14, 2009, 08:16:18 PM »

I buy everything at a permanent 25-30% discount anyway, so it won't be a huge increase for me.

Merrick · « **Reply #18 on:** April 14, 2009, 08:28:51 PM »

It affects people like me though, and many others like me.

I am poor, mostly buy my models at full price, and have a nasty habit of totally overspending.

So many people are affected by this than the people who say they aren't affected, I think.
I'm looking at you here Shadowlord, with your Havana cigars......

MrDWhitey · « **Reply #19 on:** April 14, 2009, 08:34:19 PM »

I'm not bothered myself

(if only to annoy Eight)

Merrick · « **Reply #20 on:** April 14, 2009, 08:41:11 PM »

I am VERY annoyed with this.

Whoever made this desicion shall die.

Along with the writers of the Daemons and the VCs army books.

And MrDwhitey. But not before I've kicked his ass at Warhammer. Or 40k. I'm not fussy.

Listen to the man! He runs himself over for christs sake!!

As for the prices, meh. It sucks in a way, but I buy what I buy regardless of the cost. I also get everything for 25% off so there is that at least.

When I buy I set a limit on new army buys, like $100. For my normal armies I don't care since I will just get the one or two things I need and add it to the hordes of unpainted shit I already have...

So the Eight hate isn't about who hates you, but how much you hate me?

This topic got locked after 12 secs on TWF the shocking thing was they didn't just delete it

.

So what is the price rise 25% 30%? And for what reason is it this time the price of oil, metal, fish, greed because they know enough people will still by their stuff?

Eight why on earth are you paying full price?
