Beasts of War Christmas Sales - Thanks Orlando

Tabletop Gaming News posts sales during the year and announces KS projects.
No info yet on DickBlick's "Low Shipping Threshold" day in December.

Amazon already has its Holiday sales event, but hobby games are pretty infrequent.
See BFAds forums ( http://bfads.net/forums/ ) for non-gaming US hoiday sales.

Hopefully the Only War core book will still be there tomorrow night. *crosses fingers*

Is there anything "wrong" with any of those RPG books? Is anything being phased out? Like Deathwatch or RT?

They did the same holiday sale last year, so I think it is just a seasonal event and probably a chance to clear inventory up a bit.

The War Store has put up a note but no details.

http://www.thewarstore.com/index.html?p=2696

In the past it's been an extra 5% off GW (comes out to 24% off) and I think an extra 10% off the rest of the store.

Nope. It's probably only the DH1.0 stuff that's going to become harder to find, so get The Lathe Worlds before it's gone for good!

(/obvious bias)

I'm really thinking about getting some of the Dust stuff. Even with the shipping of approx. 60$ to Germany it is still a bargain.
As good as I find the packaging I would like to ask the FFG-guys to remove the big models from the boxes as otherwise mostly air would be shipped

Are they not planning to reissue the 1.0 sourcebooks with updated rules? I got Lathe Worlds a while back, but I'm still short a couple of the others.

Ouch! I see what you mean! You can buy a ton of stuff for $100 with some really good savings versus UK prices but the shipping for said goodies is in excess of $100. Curse you, oversized DUST boxes!

I couldn't resist, Dust tactics campaign packs for $9.00, heavy Mech for $9.00 and infantry for $4.00. Even with P&P to UK it's still only 1/4 of what I'd pay here...

Me too

FFG had a decent sale last year on Dust, but wow, those are some rock bottom prices. I'm not sure what this says about the popularity of the system that 18 months after changing rights, they still have this much stock on hand and need to practically give it away. Regardless, wish I needed some of those units.

TBF it's mainly units that a) came in starter sets and b) have limited battlefield application or c) were brand new when FFG transferred Dust to Battlefront (SSU). It's like when Miniature Market dumped GW at 50% off and they had like 30 plastic Space Marine captain kits and no one was buying them.

So is the FFG 40k RPG system being dumped or revamped? Those prices have me tempted to buy a lot, just not sure if its the end of the line for the rpg or not.

I hope we some of DH 2 on the list.

Miniature Market sales used to be great, but now they are so much bigger and widely known their site falls over every time they have a sale, to the point where everything is gone by the time you can checkout. Hope they fix that this year but not holding out much hope.

After reading Miniature Market's FAQ about black friday, I guess I'll remain cautiously optimistic.

I'm hoping they can match FFG's Dust prices. They've done it in the past, so we'll see.

I've sadly been able to hit that free shipping threshold within the span of a few moments every year.

Supposedly they've upgraded so the server can handle 4x the load. Which means it'll just take 12 minutes to check out instead of 48 minutes!

Megacon Games have a sale on till 25th Dec

Wild West Exodus are supposed to have one soon

Dropzone Commander Xmas sale

http://www.hawkwargames.com/collections/christmas-offers

No European Sales?

Edit: oh I see Hawks are British. Maybe you guys could label the links US/EU?

OMG! Those are some insane prices from FFG! I have never seen a game-sale coming near it in Sweden. Sadly the shipping costs here are as insane as the prices. I could easily spend 60-100 $ there but the P&P would double that.... sigh...

I went in for Black Crusade and Only War even though I've heard the writing is...sub-par.



Seriously though great deals on stuff. I just was looking around at the site for fun and the holiday page was giving errors and stuff that was available earlier is gone now so I think they are getting slammed.

I'm hesitant to pick up any more of the rouge trader stuff. I'm still waiting for them to update it.

The Rouge Trader? Is he red in the face, or does he just wear a lot of makeup?

Well, the game is part costume porn, so probably the latter.

Why does everyone assume a Rouge Trader must be sampling his wares?

When you have a big ass ship, a private army and the finest clothes decorated with lace, braiding and epaulettes, why stop there?

Yup, couldn't resist that especially as there is no additional shipping cost.

No, obvious wink-wink nudge-nudge is obvious. If I actually had any qualms I wouldn't have ordered them, nor written it with a pause in there for comical emphasis or posted a picture of Dr. Evil. Plus if it was bait, which it was not, you did bite at it, so I suppose you are hooked now. The question is are would we throw you back in or put you in the little freezer? Your fate is now mine to control! MWAHAHAHAHA

Freeze him, then thaw him out later when we need him to save the world.

That FFG sale, holy crap. The prices on those 40k RPG books are insane.

Bought what I was missing from my allies and gf's axis army, and also picked up everything for the SSU super cheap, awesome sale! My wallet hates me now though, especially after going in on the kings of war ks.

Snapping up some Rogue Trader books... curses, still no Into the Storm though, and we needs that book, precious...

Well clearly I didn't fall for your bait because I didn't reply.



Wait...



Damn it!

Look, it's an easy decision: do you want your stuff delivered by singing turtle or not at all?

Yes, yes I do.

While I too balked at the idea of paying $100 shipping for $100 of stuff - and out of principal I almost didn't place that order - I realised that even though it doubled the cost of each item, $18.. or ~£12, is still a heck of a lot better than ~£30 + shipping for the same item from the UK

I wasn't ordering enough stuff to make that worth my while. Even with a singing turtle doing the delivering.

Even after VAT adds a further 20% on top of that?

And after Royal Mail seizes your package at the border and charges you a "handling fee" for holding your stuff hostage?

Oh yes, customs is going to kick all of us in the balls. But that's 'Future Money' which is only slightly more valuable than 'Past Money' and barely worth 1% of "Right Now Money'.

Books are VAT free in the UK, so as long as you avoid the minis and board games you can avoid the extra costs

Man, I wish Dust had some flyers that didn't look like they came out of a Ghibli anime.

That dust stuff is absurdly cheap, they may get me but I'm trying to stay strong =/

 GrimDork wrote:

The Dust flyers are cheaper than toys at Walmart. Buy two choppers and convert them into one incredible transport for only $18--you know you can't resist that.

Think of all the tank hulls you could buy at $9 each instead of $18 through the War Store!

SHUSH YOU! I'm on a hobby budget freeze and this is killing me! 9 dollars a tank is approaching the ridiculous teknolog (or whatever) Russian tank seller guy. And the local library game day has me *seriously* considering getting some X-Wing...

Maybe I'll turn the FFG website dust section over to family for xmas =/

Got the collector edition for black crusade and deathwatch as present. The shipping was 32$! Anyone have these collector edition to warrant the shipping?

They're huge, one of them coming in a big metal case, the other in a big moulded resin case.

If you play pirate or island RPGs, you REALLY want the Descent Sea of Blood expansion.

28mm island map, 2D ship, shark fin standees. No mini's. Five bucks, but shipping might hurt.

Components: http://boardgamegeek.com/images/boardgame/55150/descent-sea-blood/page/3?sort=recent&gallery=game&date=alltime

hm... might have a look at those this week. I wonder what the postage would come to?

From FFG? Significant.

It wasn't terrible in the states, somewhere between 4-10 of those tanks was running 15 bucks via UPS but I could only imagine the violence they'd visit upon your foreign wallets :(

Oh no! You gave in!


Noooooooooo!

No way! I simply added items to my cart and asked it for shipping costs. A couple of times. I may have also roughly compiled a wish list... but nothing purchased as of yet....

How nice are those Special Editions? I already have the regular editions of the books, so I'd just be spending a fortune for the fancy cases. Against all common sense and my better judgement.

thanks for the info. I was like OMG at first because I could have gotten three more RPG for myself. Well the receivers will be pleasantly surprise come X-Mas!

It's a fancy case and some certificate, and I'm pretty sure they don't do the personalised certificate any more, so it's probably generic. I don't know if the book is different - it might have some fabric bookmarks inside, but that'd be about it - beyond that it's a case to put the book in. A very nice case, sure, but still just a case.

Well if you're just throwing money at whatever's shiny, GrimDork could really use some new tanks. Just look at his big sad eyes.

It isn't just the case if I recall as the books themselves are leather bound with insignia and book mark instead of standard hardcover with graphic.

Found a picture:

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....

A lot of that DUST stuff, especially the tanks, would be great and easily converted to my Ork army.

How long does it take FFG to actually ship items? Been sitting at "pending shipping" for three days now. Usually the only time I have to wait this long is if I go with free shipping through Amazon, but since I had to pay a fair amount for shipping I am a little confused.

It's a major sale so expect long delays (took about 2 weeks before anything was sent last time I bought from them in sale time)

What are FFGs shipping costs to the UK like ? Stupid high?

edit: ignore me, just read page 2 $100...sigh. And customs would double dip us as well the SOBs. Looks like im paying full price.

 Pete Melvin wrote:

From what I understand, yes, but still not high enough to invalidate deals (for instance, the Dust modular buildings are like 25gbp from Wayland, or about 5 gbp from FFG, so even doubling it for shipping, you'd still be getting a massive deal)

sadly to make it worthwhile as you say, you need to order loads of stuff. Its christmas and i dont want customs to mash my wallet.

shipping cost to the EU is 100%-125% extra.

Taking the example of the building, it's $9 + $9 (shipping) + $4 (VAT) = $22 => €17,50

For the entire shipment You'll need to add €13,50 for admin fees. Let's say add another [b]€1 to the price, that's €18,50

It's available for €27,91 here:
http://www.bookdepository.com/Dust-Tactics/9781616614140?selectCurrency=EUR

That's about a 35% discount, a lot less then the 70% discount for the US branch ;-)

It's just not what I'm going to spend my money on right now.

I was thinking about ordering the limited edition RPG book for $40 (€32), with shipping and taxes that went up in price to €90.

I'll keep an eye out for good sales here in the EU if you don't mind, like the AT-43/Confrontation4 sales at one time...

You also have to factor in that should HMRC inspect the package, you're looking at 20% on the declared value in VAT (sales tax in Murican) and Royal Mail seem to feel justified in charging a $13 "handling charge" when they don't appear to do anything that they wouldn't have done anyway.

Doesn't eliminate the possibility of savings, but does probably require a large order to make it worthwhile (no point in ordering $20 worth of gear then paying another $13 handling, $8 in tax and shipping.)

Ouch! Sorry gents :(
Well, Miniature Market has traditionally had relatively reasonable overseas shipping and their sales start Wednesday morning (USA time). It looks like they might be clearancing off DUST as well, as many DUST items are already on sale. Could hold out for them and compare deals.

Not long usually, but they're not usually in the middle of a massive sale. This is a "all hands on deck" thing for them, so even people not normally involved in the retail/distribution/warehouse side of things jump in (or so I've been led to believe).

Wyrm's models look great and are unique, but I've always seen them as outside of my budget. Any suggestions on how to best take advantage of their BF sale when it starts would be appreciated!

I don't think I'll have time to play the game, just would like the models.

FRPGames also has them on sale, up to 75% off: http://www.frpgames.com/cart.php?m=overstock&div=0&level=0&mfg=WYR

So... does anyone have experience with FFG's customer service? I made an order of some Dust miniatures for other projects, but now some of my friends are planning on getting into it too, and I want to add the rule books to my order. So far, my question about editing my order has gone unanswered since Saturday, and I am concerned they may not respond before the sale ends.

I sent an email four days ago and still have received no reply. My order still hasn't shipped either so I imagine they are quite busy so it is possible they won't get around to responding anytime soon.

Hmm... I can understand being slow to ship, but not responding to e-mails during a major sale seems like a very odd decision, as it only has the potential to hurt their sales.

At least with FFG it makes sense (large volume of DUST boxes or heavy games or both), but two airfix kits that weigh maybe 250 grams total can go Royal Mail Small Packet for like 6 gbp or less. Their shipping calculator is totally wonky!

yeah they want £25 shipping for one 1:48 helicopter.

IMO, the only things worth getting at the sale are exclusives and their clearance metals/resins. Anything else you're better off buying from an online discounter if you dont mind waiting a few extra weeks.

I'm picking up an alt perdita, carver and the clear green pandora box, and if there's a decent selection of clearance items, probably using that to get me to the $150 mark.

Since you don't play, its hard to suggest what to get beyond that. Pick up things that interest you I guess. I'd try and stick within a faction on the chance that you do start playing, as the game is quite fun and you can build a nice crew for under $100. My only tip is to grab the metal Colette crew/avatar if its available. The art for the new plastic versions is god awful in comparison, as their outfits lost all flair. Actually I'd recommend getting any master you might want to play in metal, as many of the plastic masters are just bland in the face department due to less of texture.

Also Wyrd's limited editions tend to sell well. Odds are you could pick up some of them and resale in 4-5 months for a nice profit if that's your thing.

So it seems that FFG's shipping department is in a bit better order than their customer service department, as they already shipped my order, before responding to the email I sent them about adding items...

I ordered the day it went up and my order still hasn't shipped. This does not please Ahtman.

TotalBiscuit posted a vine of the Black Crusade collector's edition he received. It's very pretty.

Wow that Dust stuff. If I lived in the US I think I would have bought it all.

As it is I have a ton of Dust collecting dust on my shelf... yet I'm still tempted to buy a heavy walker or 5.

I pretty much gave up on trying to get Black Friday deals online, always the same story. By the time you get it working all the good deals are gone.

I took a quick look on MM's site, downloaded the Excel sheet...there didn't seem to be anything particularly awesome in there.

Maybe more will be added later?

I think I'll be getting another Sedition Wars. At $17, the game and figures are just bonuses for all those nice bases. Maybe I'll give it as a gift for my cousin.

MM is still just trying to pawn off their old stock of AT-43, Alkemy, Monsterpocalypse, Arcane Lesions etc, just like every sale they've had in the past 5 years.

Heh... I happen to like all those games too! They dump the prices down low enough, I'll keep partaking... every year for the last 5 years too.

Yeah, I managed to make it in to MM and get to my Wishlist. Didn't see anything discounted there, so managed to download the Excel sheet as well and nothing compelling that I needed to have. A lot of stuff on that list that they've been trying to get rid of for years.

I’m doing a Black Friday sale for Mechadrome

I'm happy to announce my first ever Black Friday Sale! From now until November 29th you can save 20% off your order. All you have to do is use the Coupon Code CHRISMECHS when you check out.

Happy Holidays!

http://www.gangfightgames.com

MM are doing 50% off some Mantic battle zones. If I didn't have a gigantic box of them already I'd be all over that deal.

Not much else that interested me unfortunately. Tempted by Sedition Wars just for the bases (and the strain are good substitutes for DZ plague).

Hmm... thought I would check out Coolstuffinc., but I am getting a "403 forbidden" on their whole site, while, as others have said, MiniatureMarket is already down...

Went and got The Pathfinder Skulls and Shackles game for 25 from Cool Stufff. Not a bad price. Cheaper than MM at least.

Also went and got The Battle at Kemble's Cascade, which is a cool board game intepretation of an old school top down shooter a la games like Tyrian, Truxton, and the Star Soldier series.

Still waiting on Miniature Market to actually load and let me complete the order.

I have attempted to check out about six times now; each time the payment processes for 5 minutes and then kicks me back to my shopping cart.

Good job again, miniature market.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
7th time is the charm!

Grabbed a bunch of discount Avatars of War minis, starter sets for Dropzone Commander, and some Warmachine dudes.

Cool stuff had even a ton less then MM has. After fighting through the long load times and crashes, managed to pick up Neoterra PanO starter and Morat Agression Starter for 64 shipped. Cant pass that up, even if I have no clue when ill build them.

I was at the miniaturemarket store at 10am, all the employees were walking into the room asking is your system down? I thought we tested this! After 20+ minutes of trying I gave up and put down $50 worth of stuff from the shelves (no extra discounts ) and left. Got home and finally got to order infinity Morat stuff.

Eh... for those sleeping on it because its a dead game, i'd recommend buying some Arcane Legions. Last year on Black Friday I probably spent $120 on it at Miniatures Market, and have since played maybe thirty games with large-large armies for three players.

It won't win any awards, but its light, fast-to-play, and at that price you could split some two/three ways, and everyone comes home with a mountain of minis to muck around with.

I picked up a bunch of the arcane stuff to use as KOW human army, the Han figures are decent enough and the slightly smaller size I write off as them being the Asian faction.

WOW... I am not sure I just read that correctly. :-p

I'd actually been thinking of taking Arcane Legions figures and trays, and using them to play Kings of War. None of us bothered to read the Arcana Legions rules, and KoW is pretty easy to play (and I know how, which helps).

Getting pissed that MM won't let me check out. Getting really annoying, as I've been trying the last 20 minutes and it won't even let me get to my shopping cart. Ugh.

Managed to see what MM had finally.

Meh...

Cyber Monday had died, I think.

FFG, Miniature Market, Cool Stuff Inc., and a few others.

The first post lists start dates.

www.cardhaus.com sale has started. Boardgames mainly.

I somehow got through Miniature Market's sale. Got myself a Panoceania Military Orders starter for a reasonable price.

Wait, this is how MM's webstore behaves *after* upgrades? How bad was it last year? Cause this is basically unuseable. It's already dumped my cart once.

I've been trying all morning. Still haven't gotten through. Getting kind of sick of it. Chances are the bulk of what I'd like is still going to be there at the end of the day when the deluge should be finished.

2000AD is having a small sale as well: http://shop.2000adonline.com/cheap_thrills

Some of the prices in that sale are ridiculous!

Funny to see some old AT-43 stuff still in there, a bit shocked to see that new Infinity Combined Army set for $30 - an absolutely steal for what I think is probably the best miniature set of 2014.

Just got an email from iplasticsupply.com
14% off all orders starting Friday the 28th through the 30th. Just enter code IPS2014.

They sell bulk sheet plastic (HIPS) and other plastics as well. Think evergreen plastic sheets, but far far cheaper. Shipping is the biggest hurdle, but I ordered 96 sheets of roughly 1'x1' over a year ago and the price with shipping came in around $.50 a sheet compared to evergreens sheets that are normally $3-5 a sheet. Great for terrain builders


That's what a stack of plastic card should look like , found it in my gallery. I ordered .30mm, but probably would go .40 next time for extra thickness.

Miniature Market is driving me nuts.

Why you tip-a my cart-a!??

Which CA box is that? The new Starter or one of the sectorial boxes?

Looks like MM is throwing their "Temp down to prepare for our sale" page occasionally now.

Instead of buying 4x the server power they bought 1/4 the server power.

Eh, why invest into something that only happens once a year?

I've seen that "Black Friday is coming" page every time I try and load my cart.

So frustrating. It's like they don't want me to spend my money on the junk they still have sitting on their shelves for the last few years!

I just finished struggling through their order process, so yes, it's occasional. At least for me.

FFG stuff arrived even though their website says it hasn't even shipped yet. I got an email today from UPS saying it might arrive and it also showed that it had actually shipped a few days ago.

Here's one that was missed -

Fantization Miniatures

www.fantization.com

20% off sitewide - carries Raging Heroes, Avatars of War, and other high quality and boutique ranges (coupon code TURKEY20)

Additionally on Friday the 28th and Monday the 1st there will be additional sale items/special deals.

Wild West Exodus will be 35% off Friday through Monday. Best discount they have given to date (and to my knowledge no other websites sell it)

Any of these holiday sales include Dropzone Commander stuff?

Miniature Market's does. If you can get it to load.

I would have bought a bunch of the DZC plastics, but I couldn't get the page to lead to find out if they were the plastics or the older kits. Then the cart loaded so I checked out while I could.

Plastic starters for $34.

Hmmmm, MM really needs to fix something. The Nomad Geckos say 20+ in stock until you try and add them to cart.

Is the stock function not working? I basically walked away every time I hit add to cart due to the lag, then checked out semi-blind. Hope there won't be any problems with the order.

(deleted -- Zombicide Kyoto box OOS)

Contacted them. There's a disconnect between the sale frontages and the product pages. The product page stock levels are accurate, the sale page is not.

Did they mention why they suck at internet?

skarsol wrote:

No, they were pretty quick to disconnect from chat after they answered.

Miniature Market's mailing team is really on the ball today though. The stuff I ordered has already been shipped!

Pretty sure the sales page was just a PDF file and not attached to the store, that's why it shows the stock still there. They can't get web traffic working right you expect them to get the stock levels linked . I asked them out of curiosity last week how many sedition wars sets they had, 135 was the answer......that we know of . Seems they take quantities out of the system when there's THAT many of them and store them differently. Their facility is huge, and they have room to grow and later do big open gaming, the only problem is parking. They have 6 parking spaces in front of the building for customers, one of which is handicap parking.

^Ouch on parking!

I still can't get over how cheap sedition wars is. I don't really need another but dang.

Still have 2 urban quadrants for what maybe half off. That's a good buy, huge chunky box.

White Dragon Enterprises has the base set for $19, no BF sale necessary. Free shipping at $100, I think. BGG has a thread of purchaser's experiences.
http://www.wdeinc.com/
http://boardgamegeek.com/thread/936613/experiences-white-dragon-enterprises

They have auctions, so when you buy stuff at an auction, add SW to your purchase to get free shipping!

EDIT: Cardhaus has SW for $20. Useful to top off the cart to reach their free shipping at $100 for their BF sale.

I may put in another order later for DZC plastics, and Sedition Wars for $17 will not escape again. I already have the game, but for that cheap I would definitely buy another set for the Samaritans.

Got some Mantic terrain for kit bashing, too.

TheWarStore BF sale started. Mostly of interest to miniatures players. At $50 or more, you get free stuff: random HeroClix booster, 12 purple dice, etc. Besides select items on sale, 5% off the entire store.

Yikes! For $17 it's worth it just for the bases! Heck, I'd pay £17 for another copy!

Also for anyone planning to buy Star Wars Imperial Assault I see that Miniatures Market are selling off two of the Armoured Cartographer map packs for $8 each. These will be ideal for the skirmish game rules that come with IA

Wyrd 1st edition stuff OOS fast!

Terraclips Prison and clips set 1/2 off. Haven't put my copy together, but I'm glad I got it!

Too slow on the draw to pick up some cheap infinity starters for the wife and I at MM.

And then 5% off Heavy Gear at the war store isn't really enough for me to get into that with. Plus their stock was a bit off before the sale started.


Sad face.

Not sure if its because im out of country but the isupplyplastic.com website takes me to the department of homeland security homepage.

Must be because your out of country, I went through to look at another order and everything was fine.

Also it's iplasticsupply.com I left off the y, and you typed isupplyplastic.com (wonder if there's a gun runner selling c4 on that site )

And be ready to wait until after Christmas for your Battlefoam order to arrive. The bags and basic pluck foam seem to ship quickly enough (they're just a matter of pulling them off the shelf and putting them in a shipping box), but anything that is a custom cut (even the predesigned trays) is what slows down the process.

KR Multicase is having a free case giveaway when you buy a Kaiser or one of their more expensive cases, which seems like a better deal than 30% off a battlefoam order to me. I'm really tempted to pick up a Kaiser 2 as most of my minis are sitting in plastic tool boxes at the moment. Now there's only the issue of what I'll do with the toolboxes after I've upgraded haha.

Triple loyalty points plus usual discount from element games is best I've seen so far

Anyone know if litko is planning on doing anything this year for black friday?

I broke down this morning and went back to MM's site to see if there was anything still around. Grabbed a Dropzone Commander PHR and Shaltari starter. Was surprised there was still some PHR, although they're sold out now. Also, some Alkemy as my 4 year old likes to paint the kitties.

I was after the Infinty stuff by the time I got to checkout everything was out of stock.

Sabol Designs, the guys who make Army Transport, are running a 25% off coupon (gobble) through Monday.

Talisman app is now on sale for $0.99, down from $6.99. And this is why I bought a couple of discounted iTunes cards!

Placed my order with Battlefoam (UK) this morning.

Got my shipping notification a few minutes ago.

Fell off my chair.

Were those two things related?

Does anyone know what's going on with Spellcrow? There's a note up on their site offering a Christmas deal - buy 4 blisters, get 1 free, buy 6 get 2 free - but no way of redeeming it I can see. Is it an upcoming deal not yet in effect?

They do have 20% off currently, which almost makes up for the 23% VAT they charge to US residents who should not be charged VAT anyway.

Anybody else had issues with Fantasy Flight mystery refunds? I ordered a damaged gears of War game + 5 Dust buildings last friday for $88 ($23 shipping is stupid, but still worth it for that deal). Got a confirmation email and everything, online bank statements showed the charge as normal.

My bank account as of wednesday was normal (i do not recall if that particular charge was still noted as pending or not), but today when I checked my balance it was nearly $100 over what it should have been, no credits or refunds noted anywhere. Took me a bit to realize there is now no charge from FFgames, but also no email from them or my bank about a declined purchase or refunded/refused purchase. Now I have to track down who and why reversed the charge, and decide it it's worth trying again, or if it's a hiccup and the order is still placed and FF is going to charge me again and ship it :(

Ordered nearly the same thing. Six Dust buildings and Gears of War, plus a few other things, on the first day of the sale, received it Wednesday. Definitely got charged though.

Do the Miniature Market points do anything other than take pennies off your order? If so, should I contact them over a glitch that removed over 110 points? If they're just pennies, I'm not even going to care.

Yeah it's not a lot. It was all of $1.10. I'd look into it though, that's kind of weird for that to happen.

Actually, I had the same thing happen, with the charge disappearing from my account. The weirdest thing is, the order had already shipped when this happened, so I have been waiting to see them charge me again.

Oh, and if by any chance you have to place your order again, the Operation Cerberus box is actually a better deal for Dust buildings than the separate building box, as it comes with components to make a 3 story building (and some miniatures) for $9, rather than components to make a 2 story building for $9.

Wow, thanks for the heads up dude! Much better option for getting buildings Ordered some now at not much a difference in price and shipping to me here in Australia.

Well, I made an order last Monday with fantasy flight games. I just checked and my card never even got charged! So now I have no idea whether I will get the order eventually (and get charged) or not. This almost makes me consider just cancelling it with the credit card company, since it seems dicey.

Their website says I have an order pending, but the order contains Christmas gifts and if I'm not going to get it for 3 months (or ever) I need to know now.

I've never heard of a retailer not charging your credit card the instant the order goes through.

Anybody have any contacts at FF that I could get in touch with?

Okay, it looks like FFG did charge me again for the order that was shipped.

Kalamadea and I had the same problem, thought it seems they charge the account and then the charge disappeared with us.

However, I have just been charged again, one of my orders has shipped (even before they charged my card again), and I know a number of people have already received orders from during the sale from them, so it seems their shipping is pretty good and the charging problem seems like it is being fixed.

You weren't kidding, and at a fair discount for most of it. The munchkin on amazon ended up at 16something so I skipped, same price for the pound of dice by chessex. The dice were a bigger markdown from MSRP but not enough for me to pull the trigger.

Be aware, the MSRP is something like 400 dollars so the replacement parts are a little on the high side.

FFG sale was awesome! Got all this for $105 shipped! Can't wait to try it out, really looks like a lot of fun and the miniatures will be a blast to paint and weather.

Just got word that my FFG shippment finally shipped (10 days after order) The mechs mostly aren't my style, but I picked up 10 of the tenement kits (should have gotten Cerberus for the same price…) and some aircraft for my sci-fi games as well as a couple of card games and a metal Descent miniature. The FFG sale was probably the best deal of the season. I've not seen much that approaches the 65-80% off deals they were offering.

The Darice type storage boxes are very useful. They, or nearly identical boxes are often available for $2 at places like MIchaels, JoAnnes, Hobby Lobby, etc Sometimes called "craft organizers" and sometimes called "bead organizers". There's also a bead organizer available for 3-4 bucks that's the same size but with rounded bottoms in each compartment that makes it really easy to get bits out. The neat thing about them is that they will lay flat in a plastic letter sized file box. Something like this.
http://www.staples.com/Staples-Handy-File-Box-with-Organizer-Top-Black/product_757448?
You can usually stack 5 or 6 of them in there.

There are also half-size, half-height versions of the bead boxes for bits you don't want to bury quite so deeply. I've used this method to sort my bits for years now. I've got about 4 full size and 4 smaller size and they all fit in the 1 File box. With different theme bits in different bead boxes. It's a great way to be able to bring out a selection of bits on the table without doing alot of digging.

Wait, the core set was in the sale too? Awww nuts! Between that and the Operation Cerberus box, I really missed a trick with my hasty FFG order :(

Oh well, I shall have to console myself with my 6 SSU helicopters. How do you say "Get to the choppa" in Russian?

Could you link to the 1/2 size bead boxes? Can you stack, say, two of them, on top of a Darice box? Thanks!

Yeah, it was marked at $40. Well worth it! Everything being marked down so much sold us on the game. We were hesitant with the original prices.

I think they added the starter in later, because I did not see it when I made my orders.

Still, got 6 Operation Cerberus sets and a large SSU army (including 4 helicopters), so I am pretty happy...

Yeah, I didn't see the starter either! That's new, what the hell.

the revised core wasn't part of the sale. you had to navigate through FFG's website and look up Dust as opposed to clicking on the link at the start of this thread. I believe it was $40.00 not as deeply discounted as all the other Dust items but still a little off Suggested Retail Price

On a side note I just got my FFG Dust Order in which included my first pre painted Dust Premium Models and I got to say they are rather nicely done. kind of wish I picked up some more pre painted models

oh well maybe the'll be on sale again next year. Dose anyone know of any other annual liquidation sale FFG has? I kind of remember a spring sale once perhaps an Easter Sale.

Sure!

Here's the Darice17 sized box that has the curved bottoms. Really makes it easy to get the bits out. only $3!
http://shop.hobbylobby.com/products/clear-curved-compartment-storage-box-231100/

It's not the exact one I have, but here's an example of a smaller sized boxes. This one will fit 3 in the same footprint as Darice17.
http://shop.hobbylobby.com/products/plastic-box-with-6-compartments-406157/

I'm pretty sure this is the smaller one I have. 2 will fit side by side and take up about the same foot print as the larger box. It also has the rounded bottoms and lower height.

Warstore had most of their Dust stuff half off, but I don't know if it's still on.
Apparently FFG is losing the distribution rights. Battlefront is taking over and all the units should transfer over, but unless they have a ton of old stock, I don't think FFG will have Dust this time next year.

I have a couple of those gadgets and gizmos boxen. I can't remember but I think they were just two bucks in the store the last time I was there.

Not as solid or secure as various tackleboxen, but a fair bit cheaper and good enough as far as I'm concerned.

From what I read, however, Battlefront will not be taking possession of all the boxes branded FFG. So FFG will either dump the stock next year or sell for pennies on the dollar to someone like Miniature Market (which they also did for all Rackham stock)

That is correct. I probably read the same wording that said that FFG will be selling off all they had. Either way, I don't think FFG will have Dust this time next year. I will be watching to see what sales come in the future from FFG or whomever buys the stock. There are a couple of units I didn't get that could be cool additions to my sci-fi games.

Thanks for the info about Rackham. I was wondering how Miniature Market ended up with so much AT43 and Confrontation. Didn't Warstore also have a big surplus supply for a while also?

This would be "transfer up to the helicopter"
Ordering someone to get to a helicopter would be <<пошёл (or пойди) в вертолет!>> Pronounced "Pashol vertolet!" Any russians feel free to correct me.

Isn't it a case of "In Russia, chopper gets to you" though?

Yup, but Minimarket literally made offers via distributors to buy back all stock. They also bought a pallet, twice, from Ludikbazaar in Europe (who had bought all remaining items in distribution in Europe) to restock. Which is why over the last two years MM has had two major restocks. However, from what I understand, all the remaining sources of AT43/CaoR are dried up.

According to the online tracking, my Dust order sits at German customs. So I have to wait for the nice invitation letter to pay for the extra storage time
The SSU helicopters seem to be very popular. I ordered thee (one of each version) to boost my SSU force.

My FFG box should be here in about 5 hours!

Good to know. For some reason I'm fascinated by tidbits like these about how the business works. That would also explain why the selection seems to be dwindling.

I do still hope to find batches of NewOldStock AT43 at shows and such. I buy any unit box I can find for $10 or less if it has a shipping container in it. Then I sell the fig and usually get at least half my money back. I've only got 6 or so shipping containers, but I hope to grow that over time. Someone really needs to buy the tooling for that container and sell it again. They'd make quite a bit of $.

Rackham-E owed their creditors, and plastics/painting factories, millions of Euros. Last I heard, Paulo was offered to buy the steel molds for a small percentage, but it was still hundreds of thousands of euro. That was a last resort, and the steel molds were rusting, and were most likely sold as scrap metal. AT-43 would need to be resculpted - everything that exists in the world today is all that there ever will be.

I've seen a few random ebay sellers post like 50 sets of Bane goliaths or something - obviously a big crate of them found somewhere in a warehouse. That's about it nowadays.

I own like 50 or more of those containers, but I also started playing AT-43 since it first came out

Speaking of AT-43, I cannot for the life of me find a Dragunov Spetsnaz squad for Red Blok anywhere but ebay, anyone know of any stores that carry them?

You mean Dragonov Kommandos? Good luck, they were selling for around $50 for a unit box last time I checked, more for the attachment box. There's a unit of 9 on ebay right now (w/ sniper rifles) http://www.ebay.com/itm/AT-43-Full-unit-of-9-Red-Blok-Dragonov-Kommandos-Box-Rackham-OOP-ONI-/151497244533?pt=Games_US&hash=item2345f07f75

Spetsnatz Kommandos I've noticed are a little cheaper.

Brookhurst Hobbies has Mantic KOW boxes at about 65% off! but they mostly have elves, dwarfs and undead in stock with maybe a couple Orc regiments. They also seem to have found a new supply of metal Rackham minis, but I don't think there's a discount on them.

They have an online store, but according to their website you can also order by phone. They've said they were trying to eBay the Mantic away, so they'd probably be fine selling it over the phone. I just doubt their computer is correctly kept up to date on the inventory since it is clearance. I got 30 elves for less than $11 and 20 dwarfs and 20 undead for less than $8 each, if that helps decide for you. The only issue I can think of is that some of their employees specialize in other hobbies and may take some explanation.

Is the store local to you? I'm desperately needing a box of zombies and ghouls, or the 1-player battle set. Will pay you extra for your trouble if you can grab it/ship it.

Basically I'm out of zombies and ghouls and want to assemble my Deadzone zombie dudes but want to mix all the kits together.

Found this one on Amazon under Toys and Games. Choking Hazard: Toy contains a marble *and* a small ball.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006L6WSIY/ref=gb1h_img_c-2_7042_070bccf7?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=0KE9CE2CT6QF0FX5BJRY&pf_rd_i=5550342011&pf_rd_p=1990147042

-- Toy contains a marble. Not for children under 3 yrs.
-- This toy is a marble. Not for children under 3 yrs.
-- This toy is a small ball. Not for children under 3 yrs.

So just what the hell is it now... Is it a marble? Or a toy that contains one? Or is it a ball that contains a marble? I mean a marble is technically a small ball if you're loose with your definitions. SO, I'm guessing we must assume this is a marble that also contains another marble, both of which could be considered small balls. None of which should be considered suitable for children under 3 years. Or anyone really, I mean a glass ball with another glass ball inside is just asking for trouble... Kind of like upgraded/high-tech dried peas, for all of your modern pursuit-defeating needs


But really, it's a small pocket knife that costs almost 200 bucks. I would much rather buy Bilbo's Sting replica for 30-50 bucks less which was in the related items

Hell Bob, you must be pretty local to myself and Barzam then, as we frequent Brookhurst when the men of the family are all able to gather accordingly.

How were the Mantic stock levels in store? I might grab a few boxes if they're still selling them for those prices.

How was their Confrontation stock? I was there around Sep./ Oct last and they had RACKS of Rackham stuff. I want to go get some more orcs.

Seems I might need to make a trip to OC in the ensuing weeks...

I went back today and it was somewhat reduced. They have lots and lots of elves and dwarfs, but the orcs are gone, and so are all the zombies. They have 3 or 4 boxes of skeletons and another couple Revenant regiments, as well as a couple balefire batteries. There was also one Orx raptor marked at $7.99, but none of the other Warpath stuff is on sale, so it might be a mislabelled item.

They still have about one spinner of Confrontation, although I haven't looked at it closely. A few months ago, though, I noticed that they still have boxes in overstock (near the plastic Age of Ragnarok stuff, not the spinners) labelled Confrontation, which I assume are full of metal blisters. However, they seem to have had a reorganization to make room for paints and non-GW games, so it might have been moved. Also, not on sale.

Not a specific sale per se, but I did notice this whilst browsing:

http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-X-Wing-Miniatures-Game/dp/1616613769/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1417979280&sr=8-1&keywords=xwing
X-wing main game/starter box/whatever they call it.. oh Core Set, apparently, for 23 bucks on amazon. If you're a Prime subscriber (or they're still giving away free trials for a month...) that puts it down 3-4 bucks cheaper than Miniature market (one of the next lowest prices for it I've seen) with 'free' 2 day shipping.

Considering it myself, thought I'd share.

X-Wing is back up to $29, that might have been one of Amazon's lightning deals for $23

Fantasy flight did wind up charging my card and shipping my order, which came in friday (2 weeks after ordering). My email from the 28th wasn't answered till the following monday and they claim that the initial charge is just a pre-charge and isn't finalized until they process and ship the order and supposedly some banks will automatically drop the precharge if it hasn't been finalized within a certain time period.

Which would all have been fine if the answer to the second part of my email requesting a change to the order hadn't been "it's already in process and we can't make any changes to it" despite not getting a confirmation email of it being processed and shipped until later that day :/

So they sat on my order for a week, sat on my email for another 3 days, then claimed they had already processed it which they hadn't. Between that and the high shipping I don't think I'll be ordering direct from FFG ever again no matter how good the sale is

Huh if it was I didn't see it. Guess I ordered it at just the right time.

I can recommend the minitaire stuff. I use it for both air and bristle brushes. It's a touch satiny in finish rather than really flat, but if you're going to matte seal your work, you likely won't notice in the result. The 3 included varnishes are pretty shiny though, even the flat one is eggshell/satin rather than proper flat.

Anyone know anything about the Patriot? I've heard the name but I really like my Sotar 20/20.

I use my Patriot 105 to base, and do major highlighting. My Sotar 20/20 goes in for details.

Ahh, I've got some kind of Chinese Iwata knock off I got to practice with that I use for similar purposes. So maybe I don't need the patriot.

Picked up the Minitaire paints today. I told myself that I wouldn't pick up any more toys unless it was a deal that was too good to pass up. It was a deal that was too good to pass up. Kinda kicking myself for not getting the Patriot 105 at the same time.

Yeah I was busy during those. I think I spent somewhere between 130 and 170 on the paints, I can't remember the price. I think current sale price is 150. Probably worth it for that, a bit under 2 bucks a paint. They're also bigger than vallejo.

For 100 bucks, the paint set was practically can't miss.

Bagged a Patriot.

Ludicrously good value, came in at £50 with shipping and taxes, the typical price in the UK is £100-120.

Cannot believe my luck on this, I was all set to spend around £62 on this anyway, so the saving was an absolute genuine bargain.

Thanks Grimdork for the heads up.

No no thank Ced1106, so far all i've pointed out is an almost ended x-wing core set flash sale

Totally worth it for that price. I paid a bit more a few months back and don't really regret it. One of the black friday/cyber monday sales saw them going for maybe 17 dollars somewhere and I *almost* got another set.

It is almost worth that price for the Bases alone. Some very nice plastic bases.

White Dragon Enterprises has 'em for $19, plus shipping. They also have auctions. Which I keep missing! Grr!

Speaking of Sedition Wars, does anyone know why they never released the baby drones or the bonecrabs to retail? Those were awesome kits. It makes no sense not to sell them.

Drat, found the Sedition Wars Amazon deal really tempting, but they don't ship to the EU.

Kickstarter exclusive. But maybe change them just a bit for retail, or since it has been so long and they've ticked off the player base they could probably sell them no problem.

Thanks so much for the heads up!

Just went in on this with a friend. I've not got much interest in the rules or other components, but the scenic bases look great and I could use the Vanguard faction as my Maersk-Tesla Corporate Marines. I get all the bases and the Vanguard, He's taking everything else (and I give him plain bases if he needs them).

22 figs and 50 scenic bases for $14 is my kind of deal!

Yep! The strain and Samaritans are both pretty easy to paint up in a hurry, if one is so inclined, they've got enough detail to be interesting but they don't have lots of little skulls all over the place to bog you down

Its like a parody but they are not in on the joke..

Putting the Minitaire back on sale? I'm telling you folks if it goes back down to 100 dollars that's a steal. The bottles are 30ml as opposed to 17ml for a vallejo or reaper paint, and pending the sale they're approaching a dollar a piece. Even at $150 it's not a bad set.


Thanks again for sharing ced, I'm gonna have to look into the micron pens and maybe the business card magnets... They aren't quite the right size for fantasy mass battles regiments but a few of them could be cut to the right size to make a whole regiment base magnet down to a metal container if I'm thinking right.

Not just that. You get a big box, and inside that box is another big box, and inside that box are all the things you ordered.

So many boxes!

Good luck, Grim!

I've also seen Microns at MIchael's craft store, and you can get a 40% off coupon, so comparison shop. Also, even Walmart has magnet sticker kits -- see if your local Walmart has a garden section, so you can check out in a shorter line!

That's a great deal! My buddy has a force of Bronze age not-Tharks (6 limbed green martians) and they are really cool miniatures.
