Tamwulf Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Right now, the British Pound Sterling is trading at £1 = $1.25. Looking between the two online stores, US site has a 10 model Space Marine Squad at $40. The same box costs £25 at the UK site. £25 = $31, or a savings of about 23%. It varies from box to box, but it's around 25% off if you order right now from the GW UK site. The UK site also offers free shipping on orders over £40, or $50, even on international orders. On top of that, the VAT and export tax are already included in the price, so if you are willing to wait an extra week or two, you can get GW stuff from the UK Website at 25% off. I'd expect the exchange rate to remain the same or actually decline a bit more until January 1st, when GW UK will "adjust" the online store prices to reflect the falling Pound sterling against the US Dollar. Or they might wait until after President Elect Clown takes office. Economics and politics go hand in hand. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 You can also go down to Astral Games and get 20% off GW everyday. And not deal with all that sheet. However, now is a great time to buy Forge World! Get that Titan right Meow, while it's $400 off!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPaceORK Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 I think you can stack your 10% as well at Astral but I'm not 100% sure on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamwulf Posted November 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Awesome! 330 mile drive to save 20%! Let's see, six hour drive there, six hours back, 42.6 gallons of gas at $2.50/gallon... $106.45 in gas, plus food... Alright! See you on Saturday! LOL Nah, that's awesome that Astral Games gives that much of a discount. Wish I lived closer. I used to get a great discount like that when I lived up in Alaska. This is just one of those weird times when it's actually cheaper to buy at the UK Online Store then the US Online Store thanks to exchange rates. I'm pretty sure that's why the limited edition Thousand Sons stuff sold out so quickly in the UK, but it's still available on the US Online Store. It's also a fantastic time to get Forge World! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcat Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 If you can purchase though a third party in the U.K., they will deduct the VAT. On orders shipped to the USA. Gw UK and forgeworld refuse to deduct vat because they are crooked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the Ordofanaticus Forums, shadowy orc person! Yes, you can! However, 99.9% of the forum isn't down here in Rogue Valley earning that extra 10%, so didn't mention it. Like Tam pointed out, the cost of the commute wouldn't make it make sense for people, and that's exactly why I said it like a braggart. Nothing like getting the box sets for 100 bucks, though.

pretre Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Big orders, I just use FLG. 25% off with 6.99 shipping isn't bad. Little orders (paints, etc) and board games, I mostly go to Guardian or Amazon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfestedKerrigan Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 I'm surprised I don't hear about more of the PVanc stores matching online retailer prices. Especially when losing so much business to San Fran. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
