According the the Pound to Euro exchange, which of those should be "correct"?

I looked at the same three items with "Canada" selected, and they're all (ridiculous) different prices as well.

While I can't speak for other locations, I can tell you that the last two things I ordered from Specialist Games Direct came with free shipping.  It appears that whatever price increase they have had in the U.S. has had the shipping rolled into it.

My favourite absurdity is this:

Warlord Titan: $45.00USD

Space Marine Landing Craft: $57.75USD

Which is why you shouldn't buy anything from GW. They don't want our cash and they offer nothing worth the price in return so why waste money to them?

If the pound gets wose that $57 for the anding craft will be better than 35 pound it is in the UK!

The pound is currently about 1,165 euros (according to x-rates.com, at least), so the 'correct' price for those blisters should be a bit under 14€.

So, um, 20€?  :sulk:

that's the reason why I am always ordering directly from GW UK via online store.

I'm in Austria, so the logical choice would be to order from GW Germany. But because of the price difference you mentioned and the exchange course for the Pound Sterling I order in UK.

Shipping is also cheaper from UK....

Here in the UK you can get your stuff sent to your local store for free. In theory it should turn up when the store gets their weekly order.

If you're going to a GW store might be worth seeing if they offer a similar deal.

Same here in NZ. Still ordering from UK rather than OZ.

Even with postage now costing 29 GBP (vs free from OZ!) it was still cheaper to order from UK.

Ridiculous...

Don't get me started on the OZ prices (I think the only thing I bought from OZ gw for epic was raffle price cash in!) seriously $85 for a warlord?! :sigh:
I'm just praying that one day maelstrom does specialist games...
