Resin is cheaper BUT requires new molds, new quality assurance precedure, new product cleanings
It's not resin. It's not cheaper, it just wont increase in price as much as the metal does.
They're also changing the molds a little, so that they can spin more models at once and keep up with demand.
The internet is on fire with so many angry gamers,
a lot of what is going around is actually wrong.
There's a generic annual price rise almost every year, this isn't GW being greedy, this is them trying to cover the costs of oil, fuel, transport, materials etc etc all going up in the last year.
Also they're a business, with shareholders, to keep the shareholders happy they have to keep making a profit.
Agreed, They are basicly renewing their manufacture lines. It may sound like a small change to you, but you never know the technology they are updating. For example Mars Co. paid an engineer to make a new manufacture line to pack/cook Lasgane it cost £2 million. Say it costs 5% of that to update a manufacture line thats £100,000 and if you have 50 lines to update thats £5,000,000...
And then in general all costs of everything is going up.. electric and gas bills go up for the public as for businesses. Material costs are going up, they all have to compensate for these rises in profits. And then ofc they want to make money, there first priority is to Shareholders, then to customers... its been shown that sales have gone down but profits have gone up due to price increases, so the incentive is to keep going.
