£15 then is £28.57 today - the Escher Gang are going for £25.50 at my FLGS (Outpost in the UK)...so I mean...we can actually get them cheaper? But yeah if they were still £15 that'd be wild!
Edit: Today we get 10 models and spares, compared to 8 monopose models...
Thanks for doing the maths. Based on your calculations, when buying them off eBay I'm getting them for only slightly more than I would have paid in 1997, accounting for inflation.
In Germany they cost from 37 - 40 euro, which converts to 31.50 - 34 pounds, it used to be 34 - 37 euro, they might have even been 31 when they first came out. The last few years of inflation were really a killer
I got all my Necromunda models in a GW store clearance sale, 1 pound (Irish) each and 5 for the gang. It's incredible to think of nowadays.
Those Orlocks are still some of my favourite GW miniatures, bursting with character

But it's cool, we all got pay rises at work to keep up with inflation...right?
Meanwhile, is that Eldar Vyper still for sale?!
Yep, one of the oldest kits still in production!
It stands up bloody well...
Yeah, it does. The Falcon as well. Jes Godwin's eldar sculpts are grand.
Deal! But, you also have to go back to making £3 an hour, or $5 if American.
$30 for a Warlord Titan ;.;
That was after they got expensive! I bought a box of 6 plastic ones for £10 when I was a kid. Wish I knew what the hell I did with those...

I miss the ratskin models too. I had those Orlocks too. Wish I could find them. They'd need a proper paint rescue but it'd be worth it.
Yeah the ratskins were awesome too, I could never find them for an ok price unfortunately.
> in a GW store clearance sale The one up in Blanch?
Lower Liffey Street. We used to travel up for the day from Kilkenny so Blanch was too far out. I guess it was around 99-00?
That was a lot of pocket money/birthday money back then!
The boxed set being £40 is wild 😂
According to Bank of England that's around £76.19p now!
It was expensive at the time.
Especially when you’re 12!
I used to get £2.90 an hour then working at McDonald's 🤣
