felix:
That’s why they call the game 40K, you have to earn 40K a year to be able to play their game!:cheers
It actually is pretty high per unit considering their costs went down when the switched from metal to crapcast, so their profit margin per piece went up quite a bit already. Now to raise them again so soon is just hard to accept, at least until they prove they can consistantly produce quality parts.
Thommy H:
What are those prices in real money?
Vogon:
I’ll be honest.
these constant price rises are really affecting my in store spend. It is a long distant memory that I’ll buy anything on impulse any more and very rare that I’ll actually buy planned for models in store.
All my spend recently has been on Warhammer Forge stuff which by comparison seems to be a bargain these days.
Cheers

2nd Hand Ebay here I come!
beefcake:

Thommy H
I know, they're quite cheap compared to what you pay over here in New Zealand currently. I bought Krell when it first released, $NZ 33 from the GW store. Just looking at a quick currency converter thats about $US25 I would pay here in NZ compared to the $19.25 over there.
I hope those price rises don't hit here otherwise I'll never ever buy new GW minis again. I remember getting a team of BB halflings for about $20 at one stage. And they've stopped Southern hemisphere from buying in the northern hemisphere.
GRRRR!!
Time of Madness:
Price rises are hitting everywhere at the end of May.

Blue in VT:
I have a hard time believeing that anyone is surprised by this. It’s a constant issue with GW and has been for 20 years. $16 for a single fine cast figure!!! Utterly ridiculous… And the principal reason Ive not bought a new model from GW since 3rd edition.

The same is true for me. Nowadays I usually buy things I really want (such as Dreadfleet), bargain models or planned purchases. The planned purchases usually go through webstores. Five years ago it was common for my little gaming group to spontaneously buy something in the store, not so nowadays.
AGPO:
Yup I stopped buying direct a long time ago. The price rises have never hit their business in the way pepole predict every time they’re announced, but I for one have lost count of the number of times the price has been just too high for me to justify a project. I’m pretty sure if they tried a price cut they’d realise there’s some pretty major price elasticity of demand there. Producing stock is a pretty small part fo their overall costs afterall.
Time of Madness:
The yearly increase always tends to be in May/June and has been going on for years.
It would be interesting to see how much they would sell if the prices dropped.
I’m still amazed that GW stores exist. There are so many cheaper alternative ways to get GW models. Why would you ever buy directly from GW.

rpitts2004:
Soon forgeworld will be cheaper
gIL^:
Gosh is it price rise may already?

Don’t count on it :hat off
brotsorrow:
I am glad i am not the only one saddened by this. When i stopped playing at the end of 6th edition, warrior unit boxes were just jumping from 30 → $40 CAD, and a single model was roughly 10-12. I used to be such an impulse buyer, now it pains me to purchase anything. This is the main reason i will be selling off my unpainted skaven army and a couple 40k armies - to raise money to top off my current armies 
Anyone need a kidney?
vulcanologist:
Every year it’s the same! surely a price freeze one year would b a welcome change but I guess that’s never going to happen!
nilbog:
At last! GW are finally charging a price in line with the quality of their products! I will certainly be handing out more money for exactly the same models, especially when my pay has seen, oh lets see, a 0% rise over the last three years.
Thommy H:
It used to really bother me when stuff like this happened, but now I have a decent job and it’s not like I have any kids, so I don’t much care to be absolutely honest. I’d just spend this extra money on booze anyway.
vulcanologist:
Surely you must worry for the future of the hobby though? It’s ok for us oldies who’ve got the readies (just!) but what about newcomers? Price hikes in a recession seem to be a dangerous strategy too?
