primarch, it should be cheaper. GW's prices are pretty universal. If you just compare the prices of their products in the UK and the US, it is easy to see the price block the minis will fall under. GW prices by block codes (for lack of a better word), not by individual prices. They assign a pack to an existing price block, not the other way around.
Anyway, I remember my jaw hitting the floor when Epic 40k came out and a Space Marine Battlegroup was 9.99 lol. Well, I have to admit it is an excellent sprue, but 3.50 is a much better deal. Anyway, the EpicA sprues suck when it comes to variety, so I can't justifiably pay more for less, if you know what I mean. I feel really sorry for new players. Hell, back in the day six warlords was $30. I could make a massive army for around $40. That is why I laugh when Jervis wants to make ATII. How many titans per side? five? great, that will be $150 and u get five moves per turn. No way.
Everytime I brought up the cost of playing EpicA in the playtesting vault I was told to wait till the prices came out, which is bull-poop. The costs of playing should be considered in the rules of the game, and what you can do with you armies. That is why I keep saying the more you can do with your formations the better. If I pay an extra $40 to bring my 2000 point army to a 3000 one, I get a few more choices, but in the long run it will get boring.
Imagine playing the IG with one support choice!!!!! And I was settling for that. I would have loved to see them get three. Can you imagin buying a company each time you bought a cool support blister?
Maybe it is my delivery, cause I feel I have been dead on with EpicA from day one. No game should be too expensive to play, and I really feel Epic A is. For newbies that is.
