POW! GW, right to the moon!


I would say that it is pretty common knowledge that I’ll take a sucker punch at Games Workshop whenever given an opportunity, so here’s a good one. Games Workshop has gone out of control with raising prices. Not only does a White Dwarf yearly subscription now officially cost you over a hundred dollars but now they are raising prices on stuff before it even hits the shelves. When the company announced the new Valkyrie model for the imperial guard many people were very excited, but then I saw the price of fifty dollars. Aaaa, 50 bucks for a transport (a cool looking transport but still a transport). Well, over the weekend the pre-order price on the official website was changed from $50 to $58. I really like this model but that price seems really steep (keep in mind when I first started playing Rhinos cost under $20). My guess would be someone realized that this would be a popular model so they decided that the company should squeeze a few more bucks out of people (Isn’t an Imperial guard army expensive enough). I think the Bell of Lost Souls website put it best when they said, “Is a price increase that occurs before the product ships really a price increase? Its almost a "one hand clapping" type of question...”
