Sometimes the arguments and memes about crazy pricing really do match with reality.  Behold a Games Workshop pricing “enigma”…

Inspired by BoLS Lounge reader: CaterpillarHomicide

First, in case you have been living under a rock, This last weekend, Games Workshop released a huge wave of  previously metal Space Marines in stunning Finecast (coming up fast on its one year anniversary).  The wave included this classic:

Space Marine Apothecary with Chainsword
You’ll recognize him the moment you look. Price?

$16 USD

Next some sharp eyed readers remembered Forgeworld’s very recent addition of:

SPACE MARINE APOTHECARY SETTWO brand new  Mark III and IV Apothecaries dripping in detail. Price?
£20.00 ($32 USD)

So, umm, ancient static model, finecast vs forgeworld brand new multipiece kit…. Hmmm… In some currencies, the Forgeworld ones are actually cheaper!
