Nearly fell off my seat when I saw this...

As someone who is admittedly fairly quick to bash GW whenever they do something ridiculous, I feel I have to balance the scales a bit by mentioning this:

Yes, your eyes did not deceive you. That's 50quid for 74minis, including big monsters n things. That right there is a Good Deal. See? I can say nice things about GW, when appropriate :)

eh, y'know. Stuff, and things

Wow. And then Corona happened. Just....crickets, all the way through to 2023...

It's the starter set from the last edition (Island of Blood), repackaged with round bases.
Not saying it isn't a good price for that many minis, but it didn't cost them much to produce beyond a new box.

Well, I mean, cost of production is never really a factor in GW pricing, though, you know? Their MO has pretty much always* been to charge as much as the market will bear, full stop.

*Well, you know - for the past 15 years or so anyway.
