I'm sorry, how much????

I would rather drink a cup of herpes than buy those figs.

You do have a way with words mate.

I did a quick conversion :

GWJ price for the white council (4 minis) is 1man.
At current rates that's £75.70

Seriously, is anybody not offended by that?

[Primarch]

I'm not!

But then again, I have absolutely zero interest in the game and was never going to buy any of it anyway. Bursting a blood vessel every time GWJ gets new stock in probably isn't good for your health. Relax, chill out and just don't buy it.

It is stupidly expensive though.

The old Ash would have been fuming, writing letters to Jervis Johnson, picking fights on the forums and calling the Tolkien society. The new Ash? So jaded by GW and their meaness can only smile and say Oh well, never mind.
Also anything like that that happens I manage to keep seperate from the original book. I felt the same when I saw the cast for The Hobbit film to be honest. At least it will introduce a load of kids to the hobby and the books. No doubt some of them will buy the white council and have them for years to come much like we treasure Rogue Trader and Heroquest minis.
Mind you what parents can afford that with the current economy I don't know?
