Ahh Crap (Price Rises?)

[mysterex]

I hope Forge World stops charging VAT on sales made overseas now that it's reached ridiculous levels. I always understood that it didn't apply on exports but they don't take it off.

?! They should not be charging VAT on exports, might want to ask them about that.

Unfortunate but necessary, massive guvmint debt=bad times. I just hope GW don't use it as an excuse to raise prices in foreign currencies as well.

Agreed. You cant blame the current Goverment for the mess the previous goverment made of things.

Dont buy from GW direct where possible, the internet is your friend.

Makes me glad I emigrated to Canada. The HST in British Columbia doesn't seem so bad after all.

Don't forget - you voted for the c*nts

it was either that or the bnp/snp/greens

hard choice eh :P

Goodbye Games Workshop, its been fun for the past ten years but now we must part ways.

You still havn't done any 5th edition codices for my many xenos armies and now I can't afford to update them if you ever do release the books.

You have just priced me out of the hobby.

You can get cheap GW from the internet and ebay.

And GW have not put VAT up yet, and when (if) they do it is not by the choice of them. Its the governments choice.

Plus you never know, GW might be kind to us and not put up the VAT on there products and just absorb the extra costs. Just as the Games industry might do and is currently thinking about doing.

This Price rise would not be GW fault at least.

In Uk buy from Gifts for Geeks, all their products are 20% cheaper than Games-Workshops'

The lovely Conservative co-alition Government wish to raise have just restored VAT from 15% to 17.5% which resulted in a GW price rise over here. Now however they want to raise it a further 2.5% to 20% to reduce the Dept owed by Britain.

Woe on us over here is that's the case as it just gives GW an excuse to bump up prices....again O_o

Warhammer 40k, and table top wargaming in general, is still a very cheap hobby to get into.

Compared to what? Flying a personal jet?

Anyway I don't understand why people are blaming GW for the UK gov's actions?

Oh yeah, and probably the #1 reason Americans pay so much less in taxes is lack of services like universal health care. Most Canadians simply could not imagine having to pay for medical treatment.

I've played airsoft and paintball, as well as cycling and climbing, and a host of other hobbies/activities, as well as drinking heavily, and miniatures is probably the cheapest of them all. I don't have an XBox, but for the cost of one, plus a few games a year, I'm imagining it's comparable as well. I won't start in on golf.

The only thing I do/have done that is cheaper overall is running...and even then, I eat a lot more when I am running significant daily distances than I do when I'm not, so you could probably factor that in too.
