I am writing this in the hopes I can encourage all Australian (and NZ) players to act. If you are unhappy with the pricing structure that has been set for GW products and LotR &The Hobbit SBGs in particular, I would encourage you to write, or email, or phone (print is infinitely better) GW customer service and voice your concerns.
I need to emphasise that this needs to be done in a polite and businesslike fashion. Don't rant and swear and carry on, but tell them how disappointed you are that the products are continuing to skyrocket in price. If you are having trouble getting decent Finecast figures, mention that too, and include photos if you can.
GW needs feedback to supply to the UK, where the prices are set. The actual prices are out of their control down here. I have been told that by a member of customer service here in Aus. They do read these mails and forward them on to management in the UK for review. So we need to give them a polite and ordered series of messages to send back. If they don't know there is a problem as far as we are concerned, they won't try and fix it.
Give them your name and request that your concerns be forwarded to the appropriate departments for review and action. But please, be polite, your contact will be taken more seriously if its not a rant.
Give it some thought, and if you agree, send something along and reply to this thread. I have already been in touch with GW CS here. Add your voice to the chorus!
