40 Years of Warhammer – Celebrate With a Box of Exclusive Goodies

[Emperor Ming]

40 Years of Warhammer – Celebrate With a Box of Exclusive Goodies - Warhammer Community (warhammer-community.com)

 

£125....

 

For a mug and some stickers....

[WrathOfTheLion]

It has a hoodie and shirt as well, but yeah, a bit expensive.

[Frogian]

Looking at the prices of other things on the site

 

Hoodie - £50

Tshirt - £25

Mug - £13

Notebook - £16

Poster - £15

 

So if £6 for the stickers its a grand saving of zero. Oh you get a box I guess. Everyone loves a box.

Don’t the Warhammer+ subscriptions come with a discount for the merch store at the point? So potentially useful with this box - if someone was daft enough to want to get it…

[Nova-V]

It's a bit of a miss I think.  That T-Shirt is a pretty poor design which is a shame as I think the idea is sound.  The hoodie is very low effort.  I can't believe there is anyone in the world that needs another mug.  I do like the poster so if that pops up separately I'll take a punt.

That was my first thought too, but..,

oof yeah thats a bit much, a shame really. Had the included some decent reinventions of classic miniatures I could see it having flown off the shelves.

Anything else people might have liked to see?

"you will also receive a code for a 20% discount on a future purchase at merch.warhammer.com in January 2024."

 

Not that I expect this generous "bonus" will sway anyone's decision to not buy but I thought I should highlight it for completeness.

 

I quite like the t-shirt and the back of the hoodie but not enough to spend that sort of money.

i didn spel to gud

Feels like a car boot sale of stuff they had knocking about. Slap the 40 years fluff on it and sell it for £125. It's a no from me.

[painting.for.my.sanity]

In a word, underwhelming.

[CL_Mission]

Although I do like the poster everything else is a big ol' miss for me. Now that I see this one I feel like a sticker sheet would be a good point of sales display item, an impulse buy when picking up something else.

[01RTB01]

There's a Mister Man parody with "Mr Yorkshire", that immediately comes to mind when I see the price. "Ow much?!" is the polite, forum friendly version.

[Ubiquitous1984]

Why does GW constantly want to sell us tat?

 

There is a significant following of middle class, middle aged fans who have the disposable income to spend £125 on some ad-hoc 40K guff, if it’s decent quality!  This gear just screams MUG to me.  If it was decent stuff I would consider buying it!

 

I’d expect guff like this for sale on Blackpool promenade, not from a £3B company celebrating a 40th anniversary.

It shows their mindset. They have little respect for the product as they are corporate creatures and not fans.

The hoodie actually looks nice and I seen crappier ones going for over that. If it's not Walmart they are gonna go for around 80-125 Canada bucks so unless it's made of acrylic wich is actually recycled pop bottles I might get one. If they are selling an acrylic hoodie for a hundred bucks then they really are nuts. I wanna say it's all overpriced but stuff I seen lately not really. Geuss it all depends on the actual quality and material and wether or not the shipping is free.

[Kastor Krieg]

Overpromised and underdelivered. Classic GW.

[MithrilForge]

“This item is excluded from being good value”…

[irlLordy]

It's even worse value for non UK folks as GW doesn't cover the customs charges the way they do for their regular store.

[Xirix]

Ah yes, let's have a long-running series on Warcom celebrating models, boxsets, all the neat stuff GW has made throughout the years, culminating in... this. Not sure what I was expecting, but wow that's low effort.

[Progenitor]

Once I got to the price I was suddenly a lot less interested considering how generic the items in it are.

The poster is awesome, stickers are good too

 

Whatever about the whole thing being overpriced but jeez its low quality

[FarFromSam]

Of the past 40 years primaris have been around for what?  6 years?  Yet it is over represented.   These are promotional hand outs they decided to slap a price tag on. 

[Redcomet]

Well at least all the influencers are getting theirs for free. So the sales are bound to explode now #sarcasm
