Games Workshop Pricing Feedback Thread

It's disgusting to think GW raised the prices of their scenery by such a high amount in anticipation for the new 40K edition. I think that's beyond underhanded. What a lousy thing for them to do. It feels like they've been rather unfair to me as a customer.

And you know how the starter box is going to be Space Marines (Dark Angels) and Chaos Marines? Well, they just whacked the SM and CSM battleforce boxes up by twenty quid each, a full one third increase.

Indeed. The fact that terrain is now a part of the rules certainly puts another perspective on that particular price-hike...

Welcome to the so called hater fraction.


I´m shocked that GWs FC quality seems to take over other product types.

Unfortunately they wrote you and me off a long time ago, given that we've been playing for more than 3 months. We're far too cost-inefficient given that we aren't buying whole armies every month, and that we have annoying habits like "quality expectations", and "price awareness", and "opinions".

@Commisar Merces - I apologize, my comment was not intended to come out like it did. I suppose that'll teach me not to post at 3 AM. I was trying to say something like, "If you just accept that, you'll get no sympathy from me. "

[Lord Dan]

I thought that post seemed a little out of character for you, Caiphas. Glad to hear it was sleep-deprivation talking.

[Kegslayer]

To be fair on the scenery the only people it would affect are new people getting into the hobby assuming they want too. Lets face it any vet would have bought loads of scenery while it was at a stupidly low price. Yeah its expensive now but how many vets are gonna buy more that they cant have?

So got my rule book turned in. The store had to open 3 more before they found an untrained one. Unreal

[Darnok]

Had the rulebook in my hand today, the one from my local store. The binding already came apart at some areas, some pages were blurry. I would not pay 60€ for that.

Sounds like the cost and quality of GW products are heading in opposite directions fast. Price has been putting people off for years (in increasing numbers). First the FC debarcle and now this - how long before the level of quality becomes an equal turn off?

[Ebon]

Still waiting for my BRB. If it turns out like that, it's going straight back again.

[Commissar Merces]

And other people were in the shop exchanging theirs as well. What a *********** nightmare. Personally, if I was a gw employee I would be embarrassed.

That's absurd. Do you happen to see any more people having the same problem. I'm just wondering if it is wide spread problem or not.

I have to say I feel this edition of 40K is shaping up to be quite controversial, haha.

Yes, three other players had the same problem. In total my store lost 7 books today due to damage. Other gamers did not have their preorders come, only pieces of their order come in. Some didn't even get their order and have just been notified they will come the 6th. In short, it was an absolute failure. Trying to get through the rules was ridiculous as no one could figure much out due to the FAQ's being so bad.

The word disaster only scratches the surface.

There are FAQs already?

I had the rulebook and psychic cards on pre-order from GW's website. This explains why they haven't dispatched yet despite GW saying they would be shipped on Friday.

That doesn't bode well either.

[Baragash]

The FAQs are to bring the Codices in line with the BRB (at this stage)

For such a big/important release I would have thought it would have been better planned. I wonder if this will have an impact on GW's future? If the problems like the FAQ's aren't fixed quickly and to a decent level, I can imagine it would create many problems for their (from what I am aware) flagship-game. Not to mention the quality issues and other problems.

I did. It looks like we posted within a couple of minutes of each other, so his post didn't show up.

[Shimmergloom]

I just spent $75 on a goddamn rulebook and there are pages off center and images that are so blurry it has given me a headache. Other rulebooks opened tonight have the same flaws.

So angry right now. If I spend that much on a product, it better be damn perfect.

Just wait till the pages start falling out eventhough you've barely opened it or used it at all, like my $75 WFB rulebook has. Or half of my 7th edition army books and both mini rulebooks from 7th and 8th have.
