Is now the time to buy Forge World as Britain’s pound is a tail spin Friday morning as it has plummeted past a 30 year low overnight, and crashed the popular banking app XE.com
According to Bloomberg’s the Pound was at about $1.30 to the US Dollar overnight, but this morning after erasing nearly £200 BILLION (yes with a “B”) from Britain’s total worth. Currently as of this writing no one seems to be able to get an accurate exchange rate for the pound as things are still developing in Europe?
So there may be a bit of a delay in actually being able to order Forge World today, as no one seems to know what to convert to…
UK’s the Telegraph is reporting:

Attempts to access XE.com’ssite and app failed – leading to a message that said, “An error occurred while processing your request” – after the pound tumbled to its lowest level since 1985.
British travellers who are currently abroad aren’t having much luck, either.
Just to give you an idea of what Forge World would have cost you before and now:
CERASTUS KNIGHT-LANCER £175
Before Brexit: $262.50
Now (?) $227.00
It may just be a case of buyer beware this morning for hobbyists looking to stock up on England’s goods. Check with your back to see what the exchange rate will be on your order if you want to jump feet first into the shark tank this weekend!
