Welp. I'm pretty irritated about this. You can buy the pieces individually for less money. Here's the retail price of each of them. Trencher Cannon Crew 32.99 Trencher Infantry and 3 Weapon Attatchments 49.99 Trencher Infantry Officer and Sniper 12.99 Trencher Master Gunner 9.99 Commander Anson Hitch 12.99 Patrol Dog 8.99 Total: 127.94 There is absolutely no reason to buy this box. I wonder if this is foreshadowing of a coming price hike? It's the only logical thing i can come up with past "there's other swag in the box we aren't privy to yet". Because if there's nothing else in the box, and there's no price hike coming, you're absolutely correct that there's literally zero reason to buy this. You're paying more for less models (box only comes with two rifle grenade WA's, your breakdown above comes with 3). And no cards any longer, to boot.

But I know that the only players who will buy this will be new players because: 1. Cygnar players already own Trenchers. (Having a second unit can be good. But nobody wants the cannon crew). 2. Veterans aren't going to pay full price or more for a bundle of models. This seems so weird to me, because the Grymkin core box is a really good deal.

Wow....I hadn't done the math on this one, but I'm glad you did...what in the actual hell? Maybe there are 3 trencher cannon crews included in the box? Though that can't be right...

The number in parenthesis is the model count in the unit. Next to the trencher infantry is (10).

If its true that the box costs more money than the singular pieces, and also has less models inside, than it would be a very crazy move from PP... I used to laugh at GW "all in one click" offers that offered a full army (1500 euros...) in a single boundle with exactly 1 euro discount, but this would beat even that BS (1 euro discount is better than an extra charge! ). Either some info is wrong, or Haight is right and a price rise is incoming?

another price raise will sink PP in deep water, I hope they don't go that way.

Jackson Wood (a PP employee) said this in regards to the weirdness that is the Trencher theme box and the price not coming out quite right on it It's being looked into and will be clarified soon. As an entirely new product questions have come up beyond just the oddity in price. So, neato, sounds like it was (probably) just an error on someone's part, and not some totally bizarre attempt at price gouging or whatever.

Even dropping the price by $10 would at least qualify as a (minor) discount.
