Privateer Press Announces Price Increase
Privateer Press (of Warmachine and Hordes miniatures fame) made an announcement regarding a price increase. Here’s an excerpt from their announcement:
… You’ll be seeing some amazing and innovative ways that we’re engineering the models in the future to decrease metal usage. While these measures have mitigated the increased price of metal and have allowed us to stave off adjusting prices for a while, these efforts are unable to completely neutralize rising costs. In order to continue the production of certain items, we must adjust their MSRP to reflect the material’s current price, which constitutes the largest portion of their manufacturing cost. …
They even have a chart that shows how the cost of tin has been rising the past few years. Nobody likes rising prices, but the reality is, when your cost of production rises, there’s a limit to how you can control costs and still sell your goods for the same value.
Good thing I managed to buy a good stock of figs months ago.
