I know a couple of people who gave these away because they did not want them. Now look at these prices:

Ruin Sprues

:O  :O  :O  That's just completely insane! I'm so happy I got a load of spures from GWUS while they were still available. -And should I run low on cash they're almost their weight worth in gold...

Cheers! :)

Is it just me or is that actually a fair (ie GW) price?

Thirteen sprues for $100.

They use to cost IIRC ?5 each, so ?65 which is roughly $100.

I am sure that Fanatic will be charging ?5 per sprue when they are re-released.

Okay maybe I am wrong, but how much would be a sane price?

BTW when I said fair I meant fair in relation to retail prices and not real prices.

I just checked with my 2003 GWUS price catalogue. It sais the Epic Ruin spure is $3.50 each. A rough calculation says that the buyer has paid more than twice the retail price. (Imagine that: Maybe someday we'll get to pay ?50 for a Marine Landing craft on E-bay...:p )

Cheers! :)

Hi!

Sorry Tas, thats TERRAIN. Not epic. Terrain is generic. I'll throw it away if I have no use for it. Epic minis are of course.... sacred! :;):

Plus it was in the epic 40k box.... I have a hard time respecting anything that came in that box... [ducks for cover].... :;):

*Throws a lime coloured Leviathan Primarch's way*

How dare you!!! :p :;):  
Though the game itself wasn't very good, the box contents was some of the most well thought out GW has ever made IMO.

Cheers! :)

People throwing these away, and to think I've not a single piece, yet.
Having said that there is no way I'd pay that much for them either!!
