Aussies, prepare to mortgage your house!
$50 for a Codex! I hope that is a typo or the thing is hard cover and as thick as an IA book! - Wild Bill
That's standard for new codexes. Hardbound and approximately 100 pages.
I used to buy all of the codexes when they came out but I don't see that as being something that I can or want to do now. It was cool to read the fluff and check out new models even for armies that I don't play but it was also helpful when playing against those armies. Also with all expense with getting a new army or just getting into the game itself the codex(and fantasy army book) should be affordable because it is the gateway into getting that army.
Oooh Wild Bill... your nostalgic expectations of high quality for low prices is ever so amusing because it reminds me of what tt's like when I was a teenager and I wanted a pair of chucks and my mother gasped at the price tag "$32.98" and her reply was...
"This must be wrong I remember when these were 15.00"
It's cool though, 50 is great, after all...
It's for the greater good.
My last codex purchase was for Necrons at $33. I just hope the $50 is worth it, otherwise I will need to spam info off of the net and wait for Christmas gift certificates. With all the economy stuff going on, "disposable" income is at a premium anymore. - Wild Bill
I'll say one thing Mr. Bill, those hard back books ARE worth it... they're sexy.
That hard back cover is rugged and durable, pages are of a thick paper stock and matte coated, just in case you drool a little, and those quick reference guides in the back are handy.
With that being said, the hard back is going to last a long time, and save you from needing to buy a replacement due to torn covers or faulty bindings in the past, the pages won't be as brittle over time, and you'll save your self from doing all that page turning with the quick reference guide being there, so that'll help preserve the binding as well.
So whether or not you treat your book like a lady and finger though the pages gently, or rough it up like a kinky dame in black leather, you won't be sorry you paid 50.
Sadly, I'd contest the "rugged and durable" comment on one front: the covers warp incredibly quickly. No joke; find a game store with codexes that aren't pressed in; the front and back cover bow outwards in the center. So either you have to take exceptional care of them by putting them under weights periodically or be prepared to bend them back and risk putting unsightly creases in your codex.
Don't get me wrong; the codexes are great in general and probably less likely to fall apart as easily as the old paper codexes. But GW cut some significant corners with its binding process.
