Another GW price increase?!?!?! - manrogue - 23-05-2012
Wondering if anyone can confirm this as GW site is blocked on work comp, but i'm hearing that there is another price increase coming on 28th may?

Yep, from http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/content/article.jsp?aId=16600002a
Quote:This month we will be increasing the price of some of our products. This price change will take effect from May 28th.
No other details as yet. Sure I read something last night about price increases to further models being released in Finecast, but can't find it now.

There seems to be a lot of detail on GW pricing on this site: http://chimpsinspace.com/games-workshop-price-rises-12th-may-2012/

Must be may. Oh wait it is. Every year without fail, since going public, one price rise. And that's why I don't bother too much with them. My major issue fell last year, surrounding the WH Army books. £17.50 in paper, but these new hard back books, will cost £5 more. Ok no worries, better bindings, and will take wear and tear a lot better, I agree £5 is a fair price increase. However less than two months later, the price had to rise, in line with everything else. If you knew that they would have cost £25, just sell them at £25. They blame rising production costs, for rises, but as far as a VAT free book goes, the production value has remained fairly static.
God bless Wyrd and PP

I wonder what lines the price increase affect?
Hopefully not the last 2 valkyries i want, as they are the only thing i'm struggling to get on the cheap off eBay along with Hydras. (just won a 1 of the 2 Chimera i want to finish my army for £10, just need to watch for the last one now!)
I agree with you Gaz hence why i have gone Mantic guard!

Just noticed the Finecast Space Marines on the GW 40K new releases page: http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/armySubUnitCats.jsp?catId=cat440161a&rootCatGameStyle=wh40k

£80 for a battlebox? Shocking.

That's the nail in the coffin of my Dwarf articles. Best write something else up.

ouch, that's more encouragement to spend money elsewhere. However...I'm going to have to finish my Necron force off first. Plus, it means more money to be made on e-bay for anyone looking to sell.
