Don't know that it has anything to do with the economy.

Remember that old Duncan Donut line of commercials?  "Time to make the donuts."  Supposedly, it was always time to make the donuts.

Time to raise the prices!

Those are correct.

I've got a list of everything but pasting the excel stuff here doesn't format correctly.  If anyone has any sort of solution to this, or can "host" the excel file somewhere so we can link to it I'll be more than happy to give you guys all the info.

Also, every model that we have to get through "bitz" order (what GW calls "direct") has gone up in price.

It's crazy, I know.  That's the price of the 3rd edition rulebook, which was huge.
It's the throwing phase now.

i was on the receiving end on occasion

Paper costs, production costs, etc. have all been going up at a rapid rate over the past few years.

I was having a conversation with my younger brother the other day about the price of his college text books.  I understand what a ridiculous scam the college book market is to begin with, but he just shelled out 130 bucks for a statistics book last week.  That's pretty crazy to me.

Anyways, as I'm sure you can all imagine we sell a lot of books at Battleground.  I can say for sure that MSRP on books have been going up steadily over the past several years.  Other companies increase prices on their core rule books a couple times a year.  Sadly, GW increasing Codex prices does not come as a surprise.

Is it just me or are these GW's top seller's?

-on a side note I still don't understand why they make a hammerhead and a skyray boxset. the skyray has all the parts to make a hammerhead and they are the same price.

Maybe they're just too lazy to do so or for some reason haven't realize it.
