Then I asked him if he saw the list of could give me some examples and his response was I have not seen the list yet...then I showed him the list from the WarStore and pointed out some of the HUGE hikes and he kinda just got red in the face stared blankly then he said yeah well 70% of our products are not going up. That whole 4% average increase and 30% or 70% is all the company script. Everyone I spoke to in the store and showed the list to said that they would were just going to stick with what they had and were not going to be starting any new armies anytime soon...the other regular staffers even quietly confessed they were probably not going to be adding much more to their collections or starting up any new armies even with their employee discounts.GW Blowsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195382392714943771.post-46601363362892327122012-05-29T15:01:07.688-07:002012-05-29T15:01:07.688-07:00Check it out. http://www.thewarstore.com/pdf/TWS20...Check it out. http://www.thewarstore.com/pdf/TWS2012GW_priceincrease.pdfAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195382392714943771.post-1692205951281946602012-05-29T14:34:04.853-07:002012-05-29T14:34:04.853-07:00http://www.thewarstore.com/pdf/TWS2012GW_priceincr...http://www.thewarstore.com/pdf/TWS2012GW_priceincrease.pdfAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195382392714943771.post-92105563658558666492012-05-29T14:26:48.964-07:002012-05-29T14:26:48.964-07:00All spacemarine tanks are all + $8.50.

Chaos Maurader Horsemen, Empire Pistoleers, and all boar boys are up £2.00.<br /><br />All LOTR box sets are getting a SECOND price hike this year as well.

But Son of Dorn what you post seems rather clear too. <br /><br />But even a 4% hike is much more than that in real terms, as in my country (NL) the average purchasing power is earmarked to decrease by 15% due to increases in utility bills, petrol, vat and food prices (according to local business news report).CLBenariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06039429347625762825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195382392714943771.post-78377509664568965772012-05-27T12:14:51.765-07:002012-05-27T12:14:51.765-07:00I dunno, Alec.

GW are masters of spin, and it's likely your buddy has to drink a lot of kool-aid to work in that environment. When listening to GW information one has to view it through a filter that we should all use when listening to politicians. The truth is in there, but it's probably a lot closer to the opposite of what they're saying.chaplainaerionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00204823268026732867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195382392714943771.post-39638119089432548742012-05-27T09:21:14.753-07:002012-05-27T09:21:14.753-07:00I saw the new pricing the other day.
