Price Increase Incoming!

[Tokkan]

Just got this email from the Miniwargaming guys:

Hey,

It's almost June again, which means that Games Workshop
will be doing another price increase.

I just received word that the prices will be going up
between 5 - 20%.

For example, the Space Marine battleforce is currently
selling for $130, but will go up to $155 in a week.

However, our Customer Appreciation Sale is on for one
more day, so you can get that battleforce for only
$97.50 (over 37% off of the new price).

All GW products are on for 25% off for only one more day,
so hurry on over and save before it is too late:

(Emphasis mine)

I wasn't planning on getting any more 40K stuff for a while, but I'm tempted to get a Ravenwing set now just to get ahead of the game (and more bikes).

I know its normal but with prices like these going up all the time and seeing the competition that is around it makes it more and more likely that I will change hobby.

I know I'm beating a dead horse here but man it would be nice to see a price adjustment that would not mean a 5 to 20% extra.

Good thing you're into Heavy Gear Blitz now, eh?

Don't forget my warmachine army which reminds me I still need to purchase a Kodiak and some widowmakers.

ridiculous

[natesnation]

it realy is just a matter of seeing how high they can go before they crash.

I'm not thinking of getting out of warhammer, I love this game. But I do have all the models I intend to own, and will not be buying more.

[Chimera]

This is why I buy used or only new at a discount. This hobby's expensive enough.

[RKelly]

And why I scratchbuild as much as I can with as many GW bitz as I can get on the cheap.

[Crablezworth]

The pricing just feels so random too. The new necron spyder is 40$... it may aswell have been finecaste at that point. And who knows, it might even go up in price.

Same here. As far as purchasing, GW only exists to provide me with paint. I've got all the Blood Angels, Tau, and Dark Eldar. Even then, I'm drifting... and I may not be able to self-justify buying the 6th Ed book when it comes out.

Maybe I'll fill that second 'hobby slot' with FoW instead....
