Why are there so many skeleton moulds?
I've counted about 6.
Thinking about buying them to cast a massive skeleton army.

Yes skeletons are cool.
Saw a few in a box yesterday at a crazy price!
They were plastic too.
Makes you realise how much value for your money buying a PRINCE AUGUST skeleton mould would be to cast as many as you want in metal.

Was it Games Workshop? Look at those prices and you may faint.
10 Greatsword Men at Arms are $40.

The prices shocked me. How do kids afford these? I'd rather buy moulds. The cherry on top of the cake were little tubs of scatter material for a fiver a pop! I made up 4 big containers of scatter material for next to nothing. There is a wargaming shop in the nearest city to me but i'd be wary even walking into it at those prices. Takes the fun right out of it. |

I'm no economics expert, but it seems to me that the way GW constantly jacks up their already astronomical prices is by very aggressively pushing any and all competition out to the very fringes.
They often seem to stipulate stores carry only their product, which helps them create the illusion in new customers (mostly boys ages 6-15 or so) that there are no other figures/games than theirs.
Thusly, they can charge whatever they want.

Some retailers do try to 'rebel' and stock other manufacturer products but it takes a strong owner to argue for that freedom. |
