    Maybe SaveModifier isn't a fanbody defending GW. Maybe he is just somebody that enjoys this hobby and is sick of all the non stop whining about pricing.

    one clicks arn't supposed to be discount, just a convenient way to buy a prebuilt bundle. the fact that its higher on one is probably an error

    I'm going to be generous and say you're being disingenuous rather than deceitful. The Dark Eldar Ravager /accessory sprue is another whole, full size sprue. You get 33% more plastic in other words for 33% more price. Gasp! 103 vs 157 parts, if you were wondering.

    But yes, GW price based on how many people will buy for their army, and that is their prerogative. See above re: things are worth what people will pay. There is nothing deceitful or dishonest about GWs pricing, they state plainly what the price is and what you get for it.
    Ask not the EldarGal a question, for she will give you three answers, all of which are puns and terrifying to know. Back off man, I'm a feminist. Ia! Ia! Gloppal Snode!

    Don't do that - they'll just put the price of single librarians up to match!

    Look at HQ choices for for several armies, $16 for generic choices and $19.25 Special characters. What's the difference? Look at the Space Marines, $29.75 for a white scars commander, a single model on a bike. Yet you can get almost an entire bike squad for that much. If you examine the value of a mini for it's IG content, you will see a corolation with it's price. Look at a Space Marine command Squad, Essentially it's twice the cost of a tactical squad and for what? A different accessory spru? $33 for a box of 4 masters of the chapter, yet the new ones are $22.50 each, but they are all made of Resin, so what's the difference? I could go on and on for each army having this problem.

    .
    Which is worth more in game terms? The value of these modesl is reflected not only in the amount of parts and plastic, but their value in the game as well, its really simple economics. If you don't like the prices, then, don't buy any more models, its really very simple, try Mantic, you can still play 40K, but if you don't want to pay GW prices for new GW things, don't, no one is forcing you to play the game. People like Ferraris, they don't complain about the prices because they can't afford them.

    This is a hobby, its a luxury, you put disposable income towards it, if you can't afford it, either buy fewer models or take your money somewhere else, *****ing and moaning about it won't do a damn thing

    i did the math the components of the strike force cost $320 individual and the set costs $225 for a savings of $95. witch is quite a good deal considering its a non web excursive and therefor you can get 20% off from some places.

    As some have already stated, do not inform GW customer service. This happened with Eldar War Walkers i believe. GW's response wasnt lowering the apocalypse set price, but raising the single war walker box price. GW caught on to how stupid it was to raise their prices across the board once or twice a year. So now they hide their price increases in the new release pricing. It seems they occasionally miss something.

    Like when they initially offered a free realm of battle board with one of their apocalypse bundle releases till someone pointed it out to them. Seriously though its easy enough to get 20% off on anything that is not Direct only and with the amount of additional bits included in most new plastic sprues you can even shop discount bits sellers for even more savings on some units.
