So, here's a good general 40K question for all of you, if you could have one model taken off forge world and be made in plastic and sold in stores (like the baneblade and stompa) what would it be? Discuss!

That fancy land raider people love to talk about.

That is a cool one Chase. If I where to pick one (keeping in mind something that I could auctually see myself buying in the next few months) I would have to pick the Eldar Super Heavy grav tank, the point value is close to the baneblade as well so it (by GW logic ::)) should cost the same as a baneblade.
-
I dunno. Prolly Grot Bombs.
-
A giant Eldar tank to throw on the shelf would be cool if:
1) It wasn't superheavy and could be used in normal games.
2) Eldar was a popular army currently.

Angron, Primarch of the World Eaters, just to have a painting challenge with him since his model is beautiful. :o

I would say mine would be a Wraithseer, just from its epic rules and its low cost!

Sorry to be rude, but you want to pay 54 euro for 3 bikers? THATS MENTAL!

No, I want it to be in plastic and sold in stores. With plastic, I'd imagine there would be a lower price tag.
So yeah. Calm down, kiddo.

It's mainly because it's resin, and well, people are willing to pay for it. I mean think of it, (almost) all of us have paid $35 for a squad of infantry that costs about $0.75 to make, the cardboard costs more than the plastic, lol. So to pay a lot more for resin bikes, and for the designs on some of these bikes, are expected. Plus these are for serious collectors anyways.

While I do not disagree that GW's prices are rough it is good to remember that more that $0.75 of plastic went in to that squad you just purchased. The tooling for the molds alone is amazingly expensive, then there is production, shipping, engineering, sculpting, marketing, design, legal, development and so on.
At least that is what I tell myself when walking up to the cash register with a box of GW models ;)

There's QC costs too. I can tell you for sure that the amount of complaints, missing pieces, or screwed up sprues related to GW models is far, far, far less than any of the other product lines we sell... And we sell a lot more GW product than the other minis lines.

I have only had 1 problem with any models regarding GW. I had just bought the Eldar battlebox, and I noticed that quite a few things where wrong about the wave serpent. After I had talked for about 10mins with the guy from GW regarding my problem, he said he could just send me a new one. I was quite surprised by this, they did not ask for any pictures or anything, I could of been making up the entire thing. I like to rag on GW alot but they do have great customer service.
