Hi. I really believe that Epic is going to become popular again. It's a good solid system that will develope over time. The way I see it, the current release is just round 1, like a beta release. Over the next couple of years the core system will remain pretty much stay the same but there will be alot of refinements and additions. Sooner or later GW has to give up on Lord of the Rings. I have never seen anyone actually play it. And if Epic is hitting its stride, look out. A complete revamp of the minatures and maybe the reintroduction of unit cards (this would really make it a winner). I'm hoping for the best and enjoying it now. Ed Raith

Hi!
Its all a sign of the current fad. Epic is GW's new "flavor of the month" so the once "good" deals you could get have pretty much shriveled up and gone.
On the positive side, at least there is an attempt from GW to keep producing the game and making new miniatures. we all benefit from this.
I just keep my fingers crossed that epic has enough "steam" to get a good amount of releases out. Of course a release schedule measured in years doesnt help.......

Hello to all! Yes the prices for Epic at GWUS is steep, especailly those of us that remember GWUS dumping it's Epic miniatures at rock bottom, near give away prices. The game will soon be released and 2004 prices have hit. Even Epic on Ebay the prices have gone nuts, 2 SM INF sprues for $26.00!? I used to play games from Avalon Hill and SPI (gaming giants of the 70's and 80's), go to their tourneyments, suscribe to all their magazines, I thought it would never end. And they are now gone. Cash is what makes business go. I hate paying the high prices but I hate the closing of my favorite game company more. Thanks, Ed Raith

Hi!
I was pretty shocked too Maksim. I can understand the new cast being
more expensive to recoup the investment, but an old reaver 30 bucks? Old
epic40k sculpts more expensive than they used to be? Come on GW, I paid
from your own website 5 bucks for great gargants now FOURTY dollars.
FW here I come!
