although, £3 per figure for metals isn't too uncommon
especially considering GW's larger scale, chunkier (and thus heavier) miniatures they're not that expensive...

I don't mind paying £3 for a single detailed full height figure. Paying over £2.50 for a single goblin, that's not all that detailed, is just out of the question. GW are the biggest company around, they should be using that to actually reduce the cost of their miniatures rather than inflate the cost.

Its not just metal costs, I bought a crap load of 1/3000 ships from Skytrex the other day, each weighing approximately the same as a 28mm figure (in some cases more) and they were £1.50- £1.10 a model.

This post was originally much longer I just deleted my rantings.

GW were great company, and still have a great IP. They just don't listen to the people that have been giving them money for 20+ years, instead they listen to the people that take that money. Doesn't make much sense does it?
