£10 for one mini? It's a piss take  .

That's a lot of money. I can think of another company that does that sort of thing. Hmmm...

No thanks.

Precisely! 

Bad karma!

Well, this isn't one of their regular stock items unlike other said company but a special edition figure...plus the base is unique so some extra work went into making this figure unlike a standard figure. I wanted one....

Hey, if it works for you, don't let me harsh your buzz. It's just expensive - in my opinion

No harm my friend!  We all have our breaking point of what we call expensive or what we are willing to consider what is worth the price or not....

I wanted to buy it. But when I see this price? Hell no.

[Gibby]

It's a nice figure actually; it lacks the weird pantomime muppet face of a lot of Warlord's WW2 figures. However, £10 is a tad much for my taste as well.

£10 is step bit as a die hard band of brothers fan I just couldnt resist and bought 2 one for the field the other for display (more money then sense)

Sorry, too expensive. If this is successful, I fear it will drive up prices generally.

I don't think so, this is limited, Warlord has to stay in the ball park of other companies otherwise they will put themselves out of a job....Stallard is a pretty savvy guy and won't let the company fall to crap, that is why he left GW as he didn't agree with how they was doing things.

Although I have already said it is expensive, I also don't think this is true. A one-off, over priced model won't drive the prices up. Warlord, like them or not, have always had pretty good prices on their non-special models.

I must admit fully:

Yes, it is horrendously overpriced 

Yes, it is gimmicky salesmanship 

Yes, he is a fantastic sculpt 

And yes, for some reason I was compelled to purchase it! 

Please don't berate me too much, I promise I am not one to make such purchases ever before, or will likely ever again!

No berating! Hey, if you want it, then enjoy it. It's a nice sculpt.
