You're in luck! E-mail just went out, they're done with inventory, and there were enough left to offer a few "Player" tiers on W23.

Ouch.

$40 is much higher than I was anticipating for a Set 2 based on the GitD and non-GitD prices for Set 1.

I fold.

Set #1 on W23 is presently $39.95, and includes two Ogres.

Set #2 on W23 is $40.00 and includes two (different) Ogres.

GitD Set #1 is on W23 for only $30, but to get both the Ogres, it's $45.

So the value is roughly the same as we've previously seen.

I went ahead and ordered a Set #2, "just in case", and another pair of the black Ogres ... one cannot have enough minis.

The first pair of non-GitD Black Ogres is 2/3 the price of the pair of GitD Ogres. I had been anticipating similar pricing this time and a full Set 2 around $30. Oh well.

They are pricey in some ways -- but I only really buy Ogre stuff, so my budget isn't too stretched.

Unit count for unit count, Set #2 does feels slightly more expensive than Set #1 though, even if you do get a lot more LGEV and LT --- they're still LGEV and LT. The trick is Set #1 is heavy on INF, and Set #2 is heavier on actual armor units.

That is a fortuitous!

My budget is stretched right now with WW2 in 28mm for Bolt Action and 15mm for Girls und Panzer homebrew gaming, The Fantasy Trip Kickstarter billing in a few hours, and hoping to add to my Dragon Dice Kickstarter in pledge manager at the start of the next fiscal month. ^,^

Oh, and some routine but big repair bills on the Cat Mobile x_X

I wasn't too surprised to see it at the same MSRP [due to number and size of sprues], but am in a similar boat. The next 45 days, I've got enough red ink to wash a WAAGHs' worth of minis.

It had to be $40, because that's what they charged the folks on Kickstarter who just wanted a single copy of Set 2. If SJ Games charged less to its retail customers, there would be rioting.

Huh. So they did. And 78 backers (minus any drop-outs) bought that.

On a per-mini basis, its a really good value, particularly considering the quality of the minis and the relatively small production runs.

Still, $40 plus shipping is a chunk of change at the moment.

I've got a "many minis" coming with the rulebook in Nov, but its hard to wait.

I probably have as many Set 1 minis as I'll ever use, but I'd still like a reverse set & a green set, if i can ever find them.

Probably should just save up for MK VI & Battlefields KS

So conflicted...
