I understand the price increase is inevitable but some of these just seem inaccurate it is so insane. Stormraven looks the craziest to me. Currently: 66.00 as of 6/4: 82.50 +20%

Well... That stinks.  Here I was thinking they had sorta reached a plateau, with reasonable prices for most big kits... and... tolerable? prices for small kits... But nearly 60 bucks for a predator?!?  Ouch.  Good thing I love me some Privateer Press!  I wonder if there are any other up and coming tabletop games...

To paraphrase Billy Bob Thornton, "Games Workshop's hard, guys. I mean, it really is. You can love it but, believe me, it don't always love you back. It's kind of like dating a German chick, you know?"

It also seems that wood elf "warriors" have gone DOWN $10. I just wonder what they mean as warriors.

Lord of the Rings is what those Wood Elf Warriors are oh King of Elves. I don't see why they have these increases especially on some of the models. 75$ for a Land Raider now :/. I know the meta-game doesn't support Land Raiders now but seriously 58$ for a Space Marine Tank.

I think 6th edition may just end my 40k Days :/.

Chase, please sell FW with a small mark up.  It will be cheaper for us gamers.

I second that.  I have bought most of my Orks on ebay (AoBR rocks) and will hopefully be filling out my Dark Angels with the new boxed set stuff (If the Dark Angels in the new starter rumor is true).  ForgeWorld stuff is something that I would actually buy in the store.

25% increase in alot of kits is pretty harsh.
