Necrotique:

GW has confirmed they will be selling single finecast Cold Ones for $28. Each.

Anyone else find this utterly incomprehensible? :~

:cheers

Thommy H:

Isn’t all GW stuff way more expensive in Australia anyway? It’s £10 in the UK, which is about what you’d expect for a Finecast model of that size. Still stupid, but not ludicrously so.

Not really no.

Basically, "what Thommy said".

nitroglysarine:

Incomprehensible no, stupid yes.

Kered:

It’s silly but I’m interested in the rules.

Necrotique:

My main point is that I could buy 5 cold one riders for the same price, and that’s with spare parts and riders. I don’t see why someone would rather buy one for the same price

:cheers

Perhaps its an initiative test ;P

Thommy H:

The Finecast one doesn’t have a bridle or saddle. It’s a modified sculpt. It’s more expensive simply because it’s Finecast instead of a plastic kit.

Bolg:

I’m moving to australia sell all my models and be a millionaire (:

Anonymouse:

Disgusting. The quality does not justify those prices. No Failcost for me.

Necrotique:

On a very similar note - I can buy a Chaos Marine Land Raider for $60 via FW or $110 via GW… They really need to work out their pricing.

I’d much rather an Iron Daemon or Thousand Sons Dreadnought than two Cold Ones…

Hashut’s Blessing:

As said, it’s to be expected. Also, plastic characters are £8, so a slightly larger, “more detailed” model at £10 is actually sensical (based on GW logic).

Ultimately, I won’t pay that much for it, but I can understand those that would. I may well just get boxes of Cold One Knights and trim the saddles off (try to greenstuff scales to relace them) or turn them into bindings or have the riders dead in the saddle - but that’s if I want them anyway, lol :smiley:

Also, I think it does look really nice, but it screams velocigodzillaraptorbaby to me…
