If you don't know why GW deserves a boycott here is a brief summary:
Games workshop is involved in regional price gauging, prices being cheapest in the UK, and being most expensive in New Zealand in Australia, not by just a small markup but DOUBLE of what is paid in the UK. For a long time gamers were able to acquire minis from maelstrom and other sites where they could buy their models at a fair price, but GW realized this and updated their contracts with these sites so they can't ship to us (a trading embargo). In addition to this, they have the nerve to instigate yet another price rise on top of our already extraneous prices by up to $20 per kit. It is ridiculous and their greed is killing the hobby in my country. If you care about warhammer, 40k, or any other wargames please join and let your voice be heard.

It's actually gotten worse in the last day, prices have risen to almost 100% markup

I know it costs alot to ship things into the southern hemisphere, but you're talking about a 300% price hike. Have they at least given a reason why?

OP
Their reasoning makes no sense, they think they can get away with saying that they buy stuff wholesale at rrp from their uk stores and mark it up for australian store owners and to run events (which are nearly non existent in our country), the facebook group addresses the reasons and why they're false. Some people who are part of the group were once gw employees and got tired of lying to little kids.
