Alright, I don't know if you are kidding, but if not, check this out.
In the old Swarm box you got: for about $14.00
                
10 stands termagants
5 stands hormagaunts
5 stands gargoyles
5 lictors
5 stands genestealers
5 stands tyranid warriors

In the new box you get: for about $10.00
(I don't have it in fron of me, but I was looking at'em just the other
day so correct me if I'm wrong.)
4 stands termagants
2 stands hormagaunts
2 stands gargoyles
2 (or is it 3?) lictors
2 stands genestealers
2 (or again, 3?_ stands tyranid warriors

Now, don't go thinking that we're getting a better deal with the new
plastic. Granted, with E40K, you don't absolutely have to have five
stands of genestealers to be able to field them at all, but its still
more expensive.

PS: I didn't mean to come down on you for thinking that your were
getting a better deal. I'm just kind of angry with GW for raising the
plastic prices. But, I am kind of happy with them for making another
really playable and fun game. I'm still going to play Space Marine/Epic,
but E40K is really a fun, if different game.
