[FW] Buying a FW dread...

With the price raise on the FW dreadnoughts coming, I'd thought I'd
grab a Death Guard dread now. Going by the FW website:

(Product Code IA-CSM-D-017) DEATH GUARD DREADNOUGHT £20.00
(Product Code IA-CSM-D-018) DEATH GUARD DREADNOUGHT LASCANNONS (RIGHT
ARM) £6.00
(Product Code IA-CSM-D-019) DEATH GUARD DREADNOUGHT CHAINFIST (LEFT
ARM) £6.00

At first I worked it out in Euros, not realizing they were in pounds,
and it worked out to $38 - $40, which wasn't so bad. I should have
realized it was wrong since it was the same cost as a normal stock
dread.

Then I put it in correctly, in pounds, which works out to $61.51, not
including shipping. Damn! That's twenty bucks more than a normal dread,
but it's not so bad, considering the amount of detail and the fact that
it's a resin model.

But going by the war store:

FWIAC028 CHAOS DREADNOUGHT DEATH GUARD $44.99 $44.99
FWIAC045 DEATH GUARD LASCANNONS (RIGHT ARM) $13.99 $13.99
FWIAC046 DEATH GUARD CHAINFIST (LEFT ARM) $13.99 $13.99

Subtotal: $72.97

I can grab a few things to get the free shipping, but damn, SEVENTY TWO
dollars?!...

Is this what it would cost if I grabbed it from a GW store? Checked
with them, the dread is $38.00, which isn't so bad, and the arms are
$11.50 each. So it's $61.00 total.

Oh, but wait, it gets better, cuz the GW Battle Bunker doesn't have one
of the Nurgle arms.

Arrgh!

See, there you go thinking again. They want you to buy their
products - they didn't say anything about you enjoying them.

much you are going to have to make per year in order to play.
