Bad news... again... (GW Prices)

[Chase]

So I just got an email from GW about their "annual price adjustment."

Anyhow, I really dislike having to break bad news to people, but they will be increasing prices on a lot of stuff again on May 31st, 2010.  I figure it's better to get the word out now before it comes as a shock to people.

Fortunately, paint is not on the list this time around.

Again, just giving the heads up.  Don't shoot the messenger.

Does this mean the books are going to have crap bindings again. Do you know how much of an increase this will be.

[Chase]

I don't think the price increase will change the quality of their book bindings.

The price change is different from model to model.  It ranges from $0.00 to... $7.75 I think.  Not every model has been changed.  All of the newer models should maintain their current price.  It seems like many books have increased.  All of the models that we call "Bitz" have increased.  (These are items we can not normally stock)

If anyone has a serious question about a particular model you can PM or email me.  Please don't ask for the sake of asking though.

in other words, EVERYONE BUY UP NOW!!! or well just start looting 

will this effect orders now or only after the 31st, ie if someone came down around the 29th would the price increase?

some model are going up in price by 25% which is about $7ish ,but thats still crazy to think 25% increase

Welcome to GW.

As models on the shelf are replaced their prices will be updated.

For instance, Tactical Marines are going up in price.  Once we sell the current boxes and get the replacement Tactical Marines in stock (weekly) their price will increase.  Another example is the random Dark Elf model that may sit on the shelf for a year.  This model will not change in price until we restock it.

After glancing at the spreadsheet, it didn't look like anything went up 25%.  The only model I noticed that went up by $7.00+ was one of the Eldar tanks.

If anyone can set me up with a way to link to a spreadsheet directly I'll post the entire product listing and the price changes.

Heh, so do you think the advanced order stuff being listed at 49.xx will be bumped up the day after it comes out?

All of the newer models should not* have their prices increased.

*this may or may not be true
