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

No thanks.

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....

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.

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.  :D

I must admit fully:

Yes, it is horrendously overpriced  :o

Yes, it is gimmicky salesmanship  :-[

Yes, he is a fantastic sculpt  :-*

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

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