It's shrink-wrapped, and that makes it awesome. :D

That's *two* sprues in there... *sheesh*

And things can be *re-shrink-wrapped*!

Didn't the first release have 5 sprues per box with almost the exact same box design?

Of course, it's almost as ridiculous for 5 sprues as it is for 2...

The "Hive War" release, in a purple/pink box had five sprues.

The E40k box had only two sprues, as far as I know...

I could be wrong, but there might be a difference between the SM2/TL sprues and the E40k sprues. In any case, it's a ridiculously high bid for two sprues, shrink wrapped or not. It makes me wonder what I'll get for my 5 sprues worth of Nids.

I have examples of both eras of sprue, there was a minor recut applied to the E40k era sprues (Very minor, they just changed the positions of a few of the feed channels, not the models themselves).

I don't know how many sprues you got per box in the E40k era.

Yup, 2 sprues in the E40K box....it was fantastic value back then for $14AUS when the 5 sprue box sold for $18.  Just one of the other things I loved about E40K :p

54 Quid is getting kinda out there.

Gah... I've bought 25 blisters of Epic metal minis for less than that.

That's just plain barking mad IMO.
