KANE1203 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I was just on the GW site looking up random chaos stuff and saw that Finecast Raptors ($45.00 US yesterday) are now $72 dollars?!?! I bought my daemon prince about 6 months ago for 33 bucks and now a new one is worth 55 dollars! This had better be a major glitch or im gona have to stop this hobby... Do any of you know whats going on? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/247912-did-gw-raise-there-prices-in-the-last-24hrs/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIIILegionaire. Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I just looked, and they seem to still be $45 (which is still too damned expensive) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/247912-did-gw-raise-there-prices-in-the-last-24hrs/#findComment-3002328 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KANE1203 Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 I just looked, and they seem to still be $45 (which is still too damned expensive) I guess it could be my internet but dont think it would do that... Thats good to know. A land raider and defiler for 110 dollars a piece? I would have to stop this hobby if they really were that expensive!

VIIILegionaire. Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Absolutely, I love this game, it has been an amazing passion for me. Buuuuttttt for 110 bucks for a piece of plastic just is not ever going to happen....short of a pure NL battleforce *ahem* Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/247912-did-gw-raise-there-prices-in-the-last-24hrs/#findComment-3002339 Share on other sites More sharing options...
he_plays_guitar Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Sometimes I accidentally click on the Australian site rather than the American site, and the prices are super inflated down under, so I do a mini freak out until I realize it's not the American site. That might have been what happened to you.

diabloelmo Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Yeah, welcome to the hell that is GW australia. I have refused to buy anything from them because we pay over TWICE as much for our hobby as people in the UK...

Biaz Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Haha, yeah, thats Australian dude. I always shed a tear whenever I see an American complain about the gw's prices. I would kill to get raptors for 40 bucks (or buy them online ;) ) Same goes for FW. If they made any full Chaos models I'd only buy them, the prices are exactly the same as gw. Who knows, maybe some day we'll launch our own Horus Heresy, cast down the false head of GW, and relect our own Horus, one who will support your hobby needs!! ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/247912-did-gw-raise-there-prices-in-the-last-24hrs/#findComment-3003174 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seahawk Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Yea, you simply selected the Australian website instead of American. On the American site it's still $45 for the Raptors, while on the Aussie site it's $72. Since both countries use the "$" symbol, it can be easy to confuse the two with no other markers. Just scroll down to the bottom of the page on the right and select the correct country instead.

KANE1203 Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 My daughter must have pushed something then. Thats BS that you guys have to pay out the a$$ for minitures like that. 110 for a defiler? I dont know the currency exchange rate but damn. Get a buddy back in the states to mail it to you.

diabloelmo Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Currently, the Aussie dollar is slightly better than the American dollar - by all rights, we should be paying LESS than Americans, not nearly double...

Possessed Marine Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I would blame it on the real-life hellbeast that is the Platypus. Think about it... part beaver, part duck, and possesses venomous claws.
