Besides the price hike and new Fine Casts replacing the metal models, Games Workshop has done something that has me thinking wtf: Created an embargo. That is, they have restricted all products sold to another country. This doesn't affect us so much, but is a strange thing for them to do.
Famous online retailers, such as TheWarStore (US) or Maelstrom (UK) now cannot sell out of their respected countries. Places like Australia, New Zealand, Canada, etc. would often buy from them because 1) It was the only way to get them besides buying from GW online and/or 2) It was cheaper (GW Online's conversion rate may be higher than TheWarStore's conversion rate, for example).
Just seems strange to me.
