I ain't paying £50 for a set of rules!

No.

My Gods!
I just popped onto the main website this morning (since it's pre-order day).

I was looking forward to this, really looking forward to it.
But its $90 here in Canada. Ninety-freakin- dollars, plus tax (at 15% that puts it over a hundred). I'm not putting down that kind of money right now, even though this edition looks really fun.

I'll just wait for the Island of Blood release, and hope for a minibook (I mean, only 175 pages are actual rules, the other 300+ are all fluff sections). When I want to spend that kind of money for fluff, I'll go to Black Library, thank you very much.

Soooo... slightly off topic but I wonder what the cost of living is like over there... I only ask as I was offered a paramedic job which equated to $2 per hour which seems low compared to the £17 ($27) I'm on currently. The fact you're paying £60 for this book makes me slightly suspicious...

Minimum wage in Ontario is over $10 per hour, and I make more then that. A single day of work would pay for the book.

As for value of the dollar.
The Canafian dollar is .97 to the American: we're 3% weaker, but are forced to pay nearly a 20% mark-up (and we have generally higher taxes). If the book was $75 here, like it is across the boarder, I'd be a little less cranky.

Ohhhh no you don't! The War Of the Brush is elsewhere.........

Go Back to the 40K forum, The Power of Aldramelech compels you!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, but could you imagine what his communion wafers would look like, or his exorcism kit?

I believe that smuggling across the Canadian / US border is a time honoured tradition... and you may have found a product that has escaped the attention of most of the cartels

I HAVE A SOLUTION! Save the trees, be an E-pirate.

Not that I would condone such behavior of course! But, options are options.
