Except in Australia where is is over $5,000 more expensive!
Actually to be fair to them this is probably the best one click bundle they've ever done - you get the copy of codex space marine signed, free signed art prints and other stuff and the delivery is express courier (not surprising given how many trucks it'll take to carry it all). Now, what I would find more interest would actually be the signed codex and art print alongside a company of your choice - whilst still a few hundred points they'd probably sell more, and it'd allow them to for instance offer special companies from other chapters - the definitive Raven Guard Third Company, or Crimson Fists First Company for instance
They sell that with only 12% off
Retailers dont stock up that much worth of stuff and they get 50%
Every discounter would give you better deals... Every flgs would at 12.000,-$
This is just how they think we should collect / buy!
Perverted!!!!
So much blue!
But...I already have pretty much all of that :(
A nice deal from GW; but not practical for the average gamer (he/ she doesnt have $11000 lying around for models once off buy)
Fun idea, but anybody who's buy it, probably already has most of it.
What I think is interesting is the math. It works out to be around $10 per miniature. Tanks, troops all of it. 1200 minis for $12000.
Gives an interesting perspective on the cost of the game
