Mantic Games Announce Price Increase For August
June 23, 2022 by fcostin
Given the way of the world, we are seeing more and more increases in prices across all tabletop mediums. Whether it be games themselves, miniatures, or accessories - there's been a hike and Mantic has announced a price increase of their own across all products.
Announced yesterday, they have told their community via their blog that there are several reasons for the slight surge. Due to their development of hard plastic in their products, in games such as Marauders, Empire of Dust Infantry and a cheeky hint to a top-secret Kings of War release incoming, it is something they would love to explore further in more products upcoming. Shipping however seems to be the main source of pain for Mantic as a main influence on the price rise.

Retailers are not immune, this goes out to retailers and customers looking to get their hands on some Mantic goods. The combination of raw materials and the upsurge in shipping costs have been the main influence on the price hike, something they are keen on giving everybody a heads-up for before changes are in place.
The price increase is set to take place on August 1st, so if you have had your eyes on something particularly sparkly on the Mantic shelves, it'd be good to get some shopping in before the end of July! They've even mentioned a warehouse clearance sale before the price hike, so it'd be a good time to fill your boots. Be sure to check out the full announcement from Mantic here.
Will you be stocking up before the price increase at Mantic?

Mantic’s clearance sales used to be pretty good (I remember getting a box full of TWD walkers, plus bags of urban terrain, plus that old Mars Attack truck, all for $50), but then they kinda settled into a long stretch where they really didn’t run sales on their website at all, other than maybe some slight discounts on digital stuff. Would love a good Crazy Bobby sale though.
you obviously don’t follow them on that there facebook… https://www.facebook.com/manticgames/photos/a.387258332318/10159746415717319
Difficult decision. Costs going up, but how much of that can be passed on to consumers who have seen a big cut in disposable income. Time will tell how much price increases will hit sales.
with everything going up it’s not surprising everyone is felling the effects.
Compared to other miniatures companies out there like Gee Dubs, even with a price increase, Mantic still remains one of the most affordable options there is for mass-battle and alt-40K/AoS miniatures. It always helps to look at the positive side with how much doom and gloom people try to push.
I.e. the Forge World Terrax drill is currently running about $152 USD where the Veer-Myn Tunneler is only $45; if that for example goes up to $60 or $70, it’s still less than half the price of the GW counterpart.
