It looks like there is no discounting of GW products more than 15%, that I can see.

Is that correct? Did GW finally beat the discounters?

It's GW's products, they can set what ever conditions they wish to sell their products. Good news, there are a ton of equally nice and cheaper alternatives.

Haven't they been this way for many years?

I have sold GW in the past as a retailer and that is their policy.

This is only true in the USA – in the UK you cannot set a maximum discount level for your retailers… Most seem to be at least 20% over here.

Black Hat Miniatures, that is on top of the U.K. 27.8% discount over U.S. prices…the Brits already enjoy. Primarily why I have refused to buy any of their product for well over a decade. Not because it is bad, not because I don't like it, not because I hate GW..none of it. I just refuse to pay a premium add-on because I'm American. Yes I know Canada gets a hard hit and the Aussies and NZ get a swift kick to the jewels, but I can't imagine living their and putting up with that screw job. My hobby money goes anywhere else.

Good god that's disgusting why do people buy this stuff?

Quatermass, I have yet to truly fathom that yet. :)
