LOL. Is there any other response?

It's not that crazy I guess. I have 180 or so Vallejo - retail would be at least that. (I found about 80 one day at a clearance sale, picked them up for $1 each! Score!)

HOLY CRAP.

I just checked out the Canadian website out of curiosity. Exchange rate on 333GBP would be ... ~ $535 Canadian. Actual retail price: $645 Canadian. HOLY ARBITRAGE, PAINTING FANS!!!!!

Individual price is now $4.45 PER POT!!!! Insane in the paint game.

And how about $59.50 for a spiral bound painting guide with DVD. LOLWUT?????

GW is right off their rocker.

Most importantly. GW has put out a colour conversion chart so we know what our old paints are called now.

That's handy of them. Better for them to put up a chart showing old GW colour, and new Vallejo convert colour! http://www.dakkadakka.com/wiki/en/Paint ... lity_Chart

As long as they kept that Mud Wash alive, I'm happy.

Why the name change on the pots???

Uh, because they are GW and they will do whatever it takes to make people "buyz morez hobbiez suppliez!!1!1!"

Seems they are the same size and price as the old range.
Not much of a saving buying the set (50p) although you do get an Army Figure Case thrown in.

Those cases are expensive - around $120 Canadian.

Still:

UK Price 333
US Price 536 (about right with exchange)
Can Price: 645 (109 more, as we are par with the US)
Aus Price: 800+ (freaking insane...)

edit:
Funny things is - the colours and the variety of bases, layers, shades, etc. do seem appealing. Just not 645 appealing.
