Given that, at current exchange rates, in New Zealand we're paying around 60% more for the rule book than people in the UK and US it's a little hard to be quite so enthusiastic.

Wage rates in this country are less than the other two so I just don't get their pricing policy.:confused:

vehicle type 'chariot? probably be venoms, vypers, and landspeeders. perhaps they get the rumored 'jink' 5+ cover save. i wonder who else besides the monolith will get the 'heavy' type.

loving the flyer rules; can't be assaulted, minimum movement, limited maneuvers, can shoot four weapons, can leave the battle and then return...

im excited.

A straight conversion would never work for prices.
GW sells regionally, so each region needs to fund itself to be able to grow, aside from an an initial region launch obviously, so although the prices are higher, the player numbers are lower. As this excellent article (http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2012/06/editorial-gw-double-edged-sword-of.html) explains lowering their price doesn't mean more players and therefore would mean a cut or loss in revenue. Other consideration also need to be taken into account, differences in local taxation, cost of transport from Nottingham to wherever, also, the cost of living. So while the wages are less the cost of living could be less (I don't know, I haven't run the numbers). I'm sure none of this goes to make you feel any better :( but I am sorry for you.
