Was shown the New table kit thats coming out for Planetstrike by my local GW manager. Comes with the normal table GW makes, 5 Bastions, 7 Deffence Lines, and a landing pad.
Well that is one huge, and sweet, table kit. But i said to him "Sweet, so what are we saving buying it like this?" We did some math, Used the 90dollar boxes(2 bastions, 3 lines) for the walls and bastions, added in one more of each, then added the landing pad.
So, by buying this table package you have a savings of: -$14.00.
Yes you actually LOSE money by purchasing this big "kit". While it is awesome, and now i know how much of that stuff it would take to make a table, i will NEVER get that. Not that i would get the table anyway... But hey, to each his own.
So, just sayin, watch your prices people. If you still buy from GW that is...
I will, however, be getting 2 of the $90 boxes. Thats some sweet stuff right there.

Don't normally buy off of GW but here is the factor in the equation, what is the shipping for that, and also for everything bought at once? This may also only be an online only thing so retailers won't be able to obtain this for what ever reason! If they do sell it I'm finding 30% off from who ever offers it!

Right, however... All of the stuff in the kit can be bought seperately. So you could get it from a local retailer and maybe only buy the table from GW(idk if others carry it, if so then from them). Point is, if you only buy from GW to support your hobby center(me, usually) then you wont ever look at this as an option since they themselves have made it cheaper to buy in pieces.(unlike battleforces where you get 5 dudes "free")

You see, it is stuff like that! That makes no sense! If GW were a dragon I would slay it!

I dont understand those people. Do they even think before doing things or just try and fool us?

It works out cheaper for UK customers to buy the bundle, I don't know what the US GW dudes are doing though.... ?!

Curse you GW. Thanks for the heads-up there, that is very devious of them.

Don't be too harsh on GW. Considering the size of the company, they only made a £127,000 profit last year. They need our support!
