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

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!
