BUT, they themselves then said they know what's wrong, "bad habits etc" and that they're fixing them atm, and more effore and time will be going into |WHFB and 40k again.
In other words, more price rises folks.
The traditional method for GW to pick themselves up out of the poo is to increase prices. They do this like other companies axe jobs...
I heard that the factories were in Brimingham somewhere near HQ
I live around 8 miles from Birmingham, GW HQ is a good 50 miles from me....if the factories are in Brum
and near HQ, then they are bloody large factories mate!! I think they do a lot of their stuff in Nottingham.
Does anybody know where GW produces their products? It can´t be in China or somewhere over there. Prices would be much lower then. That could be a reason why others tabletop firms are less expensive product wise.
Don't tell me you honestly believe that? The prices would not change, all that would change is a price rise to "smooth-out" the transition and set-up costs abroad, followed by the same prices we see now, making bigger profits for GW.
If you think they are remotely concerned about you, or saving you money, you're kidding yourself.
When's the last time you saw GW have a sale?
If it was that big of a deal, they would at least start thinking about dropping prices. I would expect lower prices and some advertising if they saw they were going down.
I've been playing GW games for over 20 years. From my experience, they would cut jobs, axe shops before lowering prices.
As Roy mentioned, they are still reeling from their LoTR "hiccup"......eventually, you'll see an improvement. It wouldn't hurt for them to make more friends where the gaming community is concerned, rules updates/errata etc....the guys in the shops are usually great, but the company suck.
