So I just pre-ordered the new Great Unclean One, Horticulous Slimux (I've been waiting for him to come out separately), Spilpox Scrivener, and the Maggotking book (I like to read the lore)!!!! Pictures pictures pictures! Overall this release has been good to Nurgle. Hopefully we'll see one of your new slimies in a painting challenge.

You'd think that GW would be pricing themselves out of the market, but the prices keep going up! That means somebody out there is actually buying this stuff for those price points! As you say, nightbringer, insane. I'm refusing to pay full price for GW anymore. It's kind of my own silent protest against their pricing model. I'll look to eBay and secondhand. If it means I have to wait a few months for the price to be right then so be it. In the meantime I've got Skaven and Dark Elves to work on so I won't run out of models to paint anytime soon.

Yeah, that's what I do as well. Even if I only save $20 buying off eBay, hey, that'll add up! But yeah, I don't want to support that kind of price gouging.

What are your independent retailer prices like? Most here give significant discounts but by far the cheapest I’ve found in the uk is www.Darksphere.co.uk (which handily is also within travel distance of my work). For the new unclean one, GW charge - £85 vs Darksphere - £63.75 same type of discount on everything. Bloodbowl GW - £65 vs Darksphere - £48.75. I still cant justify buying some of the larger models but it definitely takes the sting out of some purchases. I will admit the above prices are mail order (in store purchases are a few pounds more expensive), so you need to add mail costs but if you buy a number of items, it is still a huge saving.

My independent retailers aren't any cheaper. They usually don't stock any boxes but for a couple that they know will sell, and even then just a couple. They will be glad to order any for you, but it'll be the same price as if you order directly from GW's online store (and they send your order straight to your house). The only discount I've ever received (and that was only once because they had to wait because it was back-ordered) was only for 10%, which basically canceled out the sales tax. I tried for a long time, to support them, but it became abundantly clear that they just didn't care are weren't going to do anything to help me save any money, no matter how much I spent with them (which was a LOT). After a couple of years of that, I just went with what was easier. A lot of eBay sellers will also give Free Shipping which is a boon as well.

My local flgs offers 20% off models only which is nice. They do some weird system though where you keep an account and pay full price and the 20% savings is applied to your next purchase. Every time I've tried this though I've had to remind them that I had made a purchase so they would apply the discount to my sale. It's something for sure; I would never pay full price for GW product if I can help it. I'd still rather buy used these days or keep my eyes out for deals that are better than 20% off (usually ebay).

Ah so I’ve just rubbed it in about the further issues the ‘colonies’ have with GW pricing. Sorry!

Lol, well, there really aren't too many LGS options here in Mississippi. I pretty much have to drive 2 1/2 to 3 hours before I get to a decent store, so shopping online is a good option for me.

There is a game store about 30-40 minutes from my house that offers a 15-20% discount on GW stuff. Best gaming store I've been to.

Sizr comparison vs the Forgeworld one for any interested. Also the mouth guy looks absolutely tiny next to them. I like the gut mouth more than the FW guts.
