I got the EfGT(LE) and the Flames of War:Open Fire box sets. Then I noticed the boxes were essentially of identical dimensions. Both contain a lot of minis and dice and so forth, but the GW box costs £75 rrp and FOW costs £50 rrp. So I was wondering how could you get an objective comparison of value for money. Then I weighed the boxes with all their contents in situ -
GW: 1.1kg; FOW: 1.8kg.
I like both box sets, but I have to say FOW is better value for money, though my heart lies more with The Hobbit.

My dear Sir, its been a very long time since GW has produced anything that's been a better value for the money than any other company. :-X

That's very subjective.

To me everything GW sells is better value than anything produced by any other company. First in terms of actual quality & sculpts; second, I can actually find people to play GW games with. I'd get so much less use out of anything non-GW.

Got the starter set today, very impressed, should have everything painted before the next movie comes out, haha. Love the Dwarves, not looking forward to painting them.
