Gamesworkshop is not
The Hobby. We do not owe Gamesworkshop anything. If they do not offer a customer what he/she perceives to be good value, then they have every right to use alternatives.
And besides, they'll still need to buy GW's rulebooks to play the game so
they are still supporting GW.50% support is still support. Surely its better that a player buys GW's rulebooks, and plays using alternative miniatures, than quit the SBG altogether and not buy any GW miniatures at all?

Just gonna say, GW metal prices have increased like £1/£2 in the 10 or so years I have been collecting...not exactly a massive jump there = gw have cheap prices.
Its a shame then that their metals are being phased out.
For all my belly aching over GW's prices, I still buy their metals on occasion because I feel that most of them are still fairly priced (~ £8 to £10 for a single Hero, or a Captain & Banner). My most recent purchase being the original Halbarad Captain of the Dunedan with armour and Arwen's Banner.
I've still not touched Finecast and especially not the Hobbit though (as much as I'd like to do a Forochel themed Dwarf army using Erebor Dwarves and Khazad Guard Converted from Grimhammers).
