New GW glue

I don't understand why anyone would consider using a GW-branded super glue, when cheaper and better alternatives are readily available from supermarkets. Same goes for plastic cement - Testors, Revell, and Humbrol all make excellent glues at a much lower price and are readily available from anywhere that sells plastic kits.

Because for people like me, this hobby is the only time I'll use such glues, I can get it conveniently when I pick up other supplies, and the cost difference isn't worth the time it takes to go elsewhere.

Indeed, its all about convenience

I also do a lot of hobby in the store, where we have to use GW glue. The new thin plastic glue is actually pretty good! I think it might be stronger than the cheaper Humbrol I use at home!

The internet is an easy source of cheap supplies and you can shop anything.

In addition to kidterminal's suggestion, the bottle design is suspiciously similar to Revell's own plastic cement: http://www.wargamestore.com/images/T/39604.jpg

Nothing new under the sun I guess, especially in GW's case :p

I personally use Gorilla Glue Super Glue. The stuff is really strong on both metal and plastic.

I bought the new plastic glue because I figured it's the same as the Revell stuff I normally buy but with the advantage of a container that will stand on its end as well as its side. Unfortunately the nozzle came pre-blocked and I haven't been able to clear it. A++ would buy again

Wait a minute, you were unable to use it and so you will buy it again?

I think that's called sarcasm.
