Sweden ain't cheap. And the prices of GW products are equal here as everywhere else.


But I said before him
oh poor you, the prices are the same in Norway, but your sek is worth about 80% of our nok. And the price in most shops lies at 270 nok.


All GW price equal? take 250 (nominal norwegian price) divide it with 12 to get the Norwegian price in pounds and what do you get?.

about 20 pounds! and the price in mosts shops lies closer to 25 pounds and you say equal.

Our SEK is worth about 80% of your NOK? One English pound is 12 NOK? Well, one English pound is 15 SEK. Look at the prices again. We are about equal.

Is that so? In that case, I'm still waiting for them to open a single shop where I live, which is, after all, the second richest and the most popular department of the entire Ile-de-France region.

the price rise makes complete sense really. Oil prices are rising and oil is needed to make plastic, simple as that.

Okay maybe it's more like 90%, (Maybe I'm just trying to be a bit patriotic it's 100 years since we got free from evil sweden, this year) but one english pound is 11-12 NOK.

Do you really think GW would mind if you protested. Im not saying that raising the price is good, i hate it. But unless you are all willing to switch to another game system there isnt much we can do about it....

Who said protesting never did any good? That's what they said to Ghandi when he took on the British Empire(gits) and look what happened! Granted, India and Pakistan are at each other's throats now, but that's all down to the early British propaganda, saying that Muslims would be persecuted by Hindus after the British left India.

Anyway, all non-violent protest isgood, but it needs organising to be effective.

NK, this is thread necromancy. I've seen at least 4 threads "raised from the dead" by you today. At least 2 of them were made with replies that made no sense. Please be careful about that.

How about we protest to GW about the lack of Highborns and Nobels...and not about pricing. By the way, here in the United States, plastic regiment sets are not going up, only some metals. Also, plastic and metal miniatures are also made here in the states. From what I understand, the reason why prices went up is because the price of oil has gone up. Oil is a key ingredient in plastic and metal minatures.


By the way GW's key demographic group is 14-16 year old males, before they get drivers licenses and girlfriends....like they have money.
