New GW site

Post by Powerfulfawn »

Okay just went on the new GW site for UK/GB.

I'm confused. Why have all the prices for everything gone up considerably? For example, army books are now £22 instead of £12. I'm currently assuming they've got something wrong with the site and put in the wrong numbers here, or just used the US dollars or euros prices by mistake. What do you think? I find it impossible to believe that there could be such a substantial price rise across the board, just thought i'd post this to see what everyone else thinks. :(

I'm looking at the online store right now - army books are still appearing as £12.

Must have been a glitch.

Looks like they still are, and the phone number is even the wrong one (presumably that's the US one).

The Store link from the UK GW (uk.games-workshop.com) website still links to the old store with the correct prices (which is what I had a look at).

Looks like GW needs to fire its testers.

Heh. I just logged on via a link on a different thread, and found the DK prices on some of the various miniatures. Judging from that, I'd say that the price conversion factor is screwed up, and only the currency indication changes, depending on which country you choose. If not I'm getting another Malekith with dragon for around 5£ converted (50,- DKK according to the site) *LOL*
