Wrong. In every respect except the pricing comments. Who is this
idiot?

I have the _real_ info to hand, thanks to GWUK mail order.

sprues are �5 each

Marine Inf Sprue
3 tactical squads (6 bases of 5)
1 devcastator squad (2 bases)
1 assault squad (2 bases)
1 Terminator squad (1 base)
1 scout squad (1 base)
4 bikes
6 character figures

Tank Sprue
2 land raiders
4 rhinos
2 whirlwinds.

Epic 40k box contains 2 infantry sprues, 3 tank sprues (�25 if bought
seperately)

Ork -
tanks are on sprues of 3 bodies plus a sprue of 3 weapons for �2.5
infantry - 1 stomper, 1 boarboyz stand, 1 bikeboyz stand, 2 nobs stand,
2 gretchin stands, 1 shooty boyz stand, 1 stormboyz stand, 1 shok attak
stan, 1 commandos stand, 4 boyz stands and 6 characters.

the box contains 12 tanks total, and 3 infantry sprues (�25 if bought
separately)

Either the sprues are overpriced (yes), the box is a bargain (no) or
everything is overpriced and we're all mugs who are prepared to
willingly shel out every time GW wants some more of our cash (of
course).

Some other one, with the facts.
No relation to the first idiot.
Honest.
