fivepointedstar Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 On GW US under storm raven they have it listed for 82.50!! That's insane if they expect that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Juan Juarez Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 On GW US under storm raven they have it listed for 82.50!! That's insane if they expect that price. Insane is that some people will probably still pay, without a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fivepointedstar Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 I hope that a serious typo on there part because I would never pay more than 82.50 for some thing non- forge world. 50 dollars was nuts but 82 dollars is a big ripe off. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglespuss Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 £50 here in the UK... I'm waiting for the Storm Talon to go up in price... can;t stay that cheap for long.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Juan Juarez Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 ...can't stay that cheap for long.. Nothing will stay at release price if they think they can up it and people will still buy; even if you won't use GW they get their piece of the pie when a stockist buys merchandise.

daveclark890 Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 They prefer you buying from independant stockists because then some one else has the over heads and the profit they make is larger even though they sell the product for less! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DominicJ Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 glad i bought two before the increase, but it is what it is. I remember nearly 20 years ago when everything was lead and a basic marine was an hours pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fivepointedstar Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 The LR is cheaper that just's crazy who do they think we are? I for one am boycotting GW as of today no longer will I support there crappy price inflations. I'm just going to have to rely on EBAY, or discount sites for my crack...

Drunken Angel Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I have 2 assembled Stormravens and another new in the box, I just made some money haha. Buy GW items and speculate on them is another way to finance more models ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leksington Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 On GW US under storm raven they have it listed for 82.50!! That's insane if they expect that price. Not a typo. Bunches of other things went up in price too, but I think the SR was among the hardest hit. Here's a 12 page thread on the price increases (the first post has the old price, new price, and percentage increase of everything that saw a price hike): http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...howtopic=252827 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demoulius Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 like the others said its not a typo :) Im also refusing to buy at my local GW anymore. i have long since stopped gaming there because off the annoying 10 year olds and most of these prices are insane! If i need anything il go to the discount store... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Fury Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I think the crazy thing is the MSRP is a 100% markup over cost. Most all shops, either online or retail, will happily give 20% off of GW stuff except actual GW stores. So really this hurts GW stores the most I think. The higher the price, the better a discount looks. Imagine an indy store buying a raven for $41.25 and selling it for $66, not bad and made $25. The local GW store is handcuffed to charging the full $82.50....good luck with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunken Angel Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Take the out of proportion price increase and put some good spin on it. Does this price increase indicate stunning new rules to be released for skimmer/flyers in the 6th ED BRB ? Is the Stormraven going to be a must have vehicle for us ! is GW putting the price up of anticipated 6th ED favoured models? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortis909 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 not sure what you guys are talking about, the price on the Aussie site hasn't changed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodsurfer Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 The prices increased a while ago... I managed to get a couple SR's before the price increase but its definitely not a typo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahawk Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 This isn't a surprise. I'd posted almost two months ago that the SR was going to $82.50, so...eh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Fury Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 not sure what you guys are talking about, the price on the Aussie site hasn't changed Maybe that's just down under. I got an email a month ago showing GWs upcoming increase with a 'last chance order' before the new prices. So maybe we are just catching up to AU crazy prices? I hope not, I'm sure your increase is coming very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morticon Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Not a typo, as mentioned and this has been dealt with in the Annual Price Increase thread. New price of the storm raven is $82.50. Going to close this thread here since it exists in entirety elsewhere, and the point has been made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
