Greetings, beings!
Der Präsident wurde von seinen Innenministerinnen über folgende Meldung an GW Händler informiert:
[hr:83fa20b561]
Dear Valued Customers,
There is an old curse you might know: “May you live in interesting times “
I would be very surprised if anyone could look around our tiny world today and not ponder the truism of such a simple remark. There is very little doubt that these current days would certainly qualify as interesting.
Among many other concerns the world has been struggling with the rising cost of energy, transport, and materials. These rising costs have ultimately affected not only the price of gasoline that we put into our tanks, but the price we pay for milk, eggs and cereal. It has also, not surprisingly perhaps, greatly affected the costs for producing miniatures.
Today we are contacting all of our Trade customers globally to announce that due to these rising costs, we too will be raising some of our prices.
We do not do this lightly. We fully understand that the timing of the price rise directly conflicts with our annual July price review and for that we deeply apologize. I hope that you understand that this price rise is not something Games Workshop Global desires to do, it is something we have to do.
That being said, we wish to approach this change with the same dedication to customer service that we do for every endeavor. So for clarity and fairness I offer the following points:
We are contacting our Trade customers this week to prepare them for any questions they may have.
On Monday August 25th a message informing end hobbyists will be placed on all of our websites.
Prices will change September 29th.
A message will appear in our October White Dwarf.
The price increase will affect part of our paint and hobby ranges, as well as a large portion of our metal models and printed materials.
Even with the pressure of rising costs we are adamant that we will not at this time raise prices on any plastic model kits. Providing high quality, great value kits is fundamental to our corporate strategy and will continue to produce and distribute them at the current prices for as long as we are able.
Sincerely,
Games Workshop

Es scheint also, dass alle nicht Plastik-Dinge bei GW davon betroffen sind (Metallminis, Farben, Bücher...). Die Details sollen ab morgen auf GW Webseiten zu finden sein.
Bevor aber jetzt das übliche GW Gebashe losgeht bitte dran denken, dass vieles in letzter Zeit erheblich teurer geworden ist. Neben Rohstoffen natürlich Benzin, Gas, Öl, Elektrizität, Tomaten, Artischocken und Ganzkörperenthaarungen. Diese Dinge sind z.T. um 30+% gestiegen und dürften gerade auch eine Firma wie GW treffen.
Ich hoffe mal für die GW Mitarbeiter, dass dann auch mal ne Gehaltserhöhung drin ist, denn die verdienen ja nicht so dolle. *Daumen drück*

. Naja es wundert mich nicht, dass da wieder eine Preiserhöhung kommt. Es ist nunmal leider so, dass vieles teurer wird und somit auch die Produktionskosten steigen. Auch die Automobilhersteller heben die Preise an. Nur geht es den meisten insgesamt so schlecht, dass die ihre Autos nur noch mit Rabattaktionen verkaufen können.
