And already we see a veritable tidal wave of hatred... I'm just going to sit back, crack a beer and watch the proceedings... |

This is just fucked up. Seriously, what are they doing? Edited by Frank, May 18 2011, 07:21 AM.

Thats pretty messed up. I mean, they could have just deleted it. had they have re-read the comment, they would have seen it was a ligit question from a FAN of the company. Edited by Memento Mori, May 18 2011, 08:40 AM.

The dude was friends with GW on Facebook, GW told people to ask any questions they might have regarding Finecast, he asked a couple questions (nicely, presumably), GW proceeded to block him and everyone else that asked questions. EDIT: The dude in question was uberdark, of The Back 40k Edited by Frank, May 19 2011, 07:44 AM.

It was a copy of the post he put on their FB page. He started by telling them he is a huge fan and enjoys their games. Then he politely asked about the switch to resin hybrid (which the gaming world already knows about, even if GW think no-one does and think they're tickling peoples balls by giving them little bits of teaser info) and the fact that resin would be a cheaper commodity, but why the price was increasing. Next thing he know's they've banned him. |

we all know GW is bad at the Internet. I'm just going to sit on the sidelines of this one. The hobby's still cheaper now than it was when I started playing. |

Not a bad idea, I feel like the general nerd-rage will subside to it's usual low simmer after a little while anyway. |

While I disagree with whats going down, we all know that in a couple of weeks everything will be business as normal. If people really wanted to make a stand, send a message and really really try and change things, they'll stop buying the product altogether. I don't see that happening any time soon.

Worked for me. The only way I'll ever buy anything GW again is off of craigslist and or a trading site where I can name my own price. It's gotten to the point for me where its not fun spending my money on these things. Other games, yes. Gw stuff, not so much. |

I have no proof, but this doesnt sit right with me either. Sure the detail has gotten 300x better, but less expensive? not buying it. |

I found a price list from 1988. After adjusting for inflation, a squad of 10 marines should cost $72 today , based on the 1988 price. They only cost $35, which is, I believe, only a $15 increase over 20 years.... so yeah, the hobby is actually "relatively" cheaper- the kind of cheaper that matters.

Perhaps my eye is not as discerning as some, but I think they look fine. |
