I'm done.
I've sat through the ridiculous price hikes in GW's models and materials, and turned a blind eye to their treatment of their customers and fan sites.
I was even willing to sit by when GW switched to a cheaper material whilst upping their prices.
But then they did this:

This really hurts a large amount of GW's fans, especially our Australian brethren. Without the ability to purchase from other sellers, they must purchase directly from GW; who, for some reason, have decided that the price should be roundabouts doubled, after conversion rates.
I cannot support a company that will throw their customers under the bus for a small profit.
So I'm done. Goodbye.
I may be switching to Infinity and Warmachine, but I'm not sure. All I know is, unless there are serious changes in GW's policy, I will not be touching their products again.

Sad to see you leaving the hobby. Best of luck to you.
I've come to the same conclusion, as have a number of friends and other bloggers.. It's a shame but I'm just not interested in supporting GW with their current direction and policies. I'll probably still play with the Deathwing army I have completed now but I can't see me investing in anything new from them.

Sorry to hear that dude, just do what i'm doing and refuse to buy from their stores ever again. I'm sticking to sites like Wayland and Maelstrom.
Sad to see you go; who else will I spar with on differing ideas of strategy?
Infinity. Join us. Join us. Join us.
I had similar thoughts.
Infinity looks good, but I already have a Tau army. Sure GW sucks but I only buy via eBay or the FLGS.
Hope you change your mind.

Not to pester but the Elven Magic faction from Hordes runs robot suits of the same scale as the Crisis Suit.
They're more Escaflowne than Robo-tech but you can play one using the other.
Firewarriors make decent Gun-Elves.
