Why a gimmick? They're useful tools to have. Many long term hobbysist may well shrug their shoulders as they already have similar tools or other things which do the job as well. They won't need these things.
Newer hobbyists will need these tools.
Heck, I've been doing this for years and I've bought a scraper just because it's easier and safer to use than a knife.
I will admit that it could be a useful tool for new gamers, but many of the hobby supplies that GW sell are not worth the price. You would be surprised how many things you could find lying around a house with a sharp edge, that could easily be used instead of a $15 GW tool. Of course I don't want to discourage people from buying something if they need it, but it seems to me like another unnecessary GW item. Oh, and there is this...

the liquid green stiff is there to fill the air bubbles in the fincast models. I am not talking about miscasts with large voids, just the small air bubbles, which they do not seem to be able to avoid in these "fine" models.
They want you to pay extra for their resin casts (Which I actually believe are cheaper to make, I have seen other websites turn metal to resin, and either lower the cost, or increase the amount you get for the same price), and then they want you to buy their new product to help even out the more expensive and "superior" new molds of theirs. I may be wrong, it's just my opinion and I mean no offense, but this sounds like a gimmick to me.
