Games Workshop Sudden Price Hike?

[Baineblade]

I was just browsing the GW site here in the U.S., it's 1:10 in the morning, and from what I can tell, almost everything has been bumped up, the $82.50 Stormraven is now $110.00. Same price for both Land Raiders, and practically all imperial tanks have been boosted up to 83.00 including all similar kits of the other races. The super heavies for the Imperial Guard are now $165.00!! What the heck is going on to warrant this sudden price hike?! How the hell do they expect anyone to keep playing their game with prices like these?!

Just checked the uk part of the site. In good old fashioned pounds we are still paying 50 for the raven and 45 for the land raider so no change.

set your country to the US, seriously, we get this thread about once a week. Also, lets not get into the "Aussie's pay more" debate because the facts all point to them paying about the same when you take national average wages of demographics into account.

Also, this should be in Wargames corporate...

Plus, GW doesn't slip in a price change. They do it with great fanfare and you'll know about it before it hits.
