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

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.Primarch wrote:It's the starter set from the last edition (Island of Blood), repackaged with round bases.

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