Contrary to popular belief, Chuck Norris, not the box jellyfish of northern Australia, is the most venomous creature on earth. Within 3 minutes of being bitten, a human being experiences the following symptoms: fever, blurred vision, beard rash, tightness of the jeans, and the feeling of being repeatedly kicked through a car windshield.

We have a patent on "Chuck Norris" Anti-venom.

Did you hear about the "Big Bang ' Theory? God annoyed Chuck Norris, so when he did a spinning Round-house to Gods Noggin, the BIG BANG occured.

Every day, on his birthday, Chuck chooses a lucky child to be thrown into the sun.

Chuck does not believe in the Periodic table, as he only recognises the element of surprise.

God Believes in Chuck Norris.

Locally, Both Milsims and Scrapdragon offer discounts on GW (usually around the 20% mark). They can't match the OS mobs and don't try to.

Scrapdragon also gives a 5% discount on any subsequent sales to you (you get a 'voucher code" for it on your invoice. Enter it in the box when you order and it is deducted, so yes, a discount on a discount.)

They're North Coast NSW (not far from Mullimbimby), so Brissy wouldn't cost that much to ship to. I live in Newcastle, and it's a 2 day shipping time to my door (at most) and usually under $10 for freight (average is $6 so far).

That's 3 working days from the US.

I live in Australia.

They've always been fast in the past... but this was faster than some domestic services!!!

BYE


Agreed.

My preorder containing 5th ed stuff was on hold until last Thursday because it was a pre-order. When it did ship, it was on my doorstep on Monday morning! Only 2 days after the official release. Only 3 working days in total. I live in regional Australia. Very good service.

Perhaps I will have to send a thankyou email as well?
Damn, thanking people for good service? What a concept!
Danger! it could catch on!!

"But remember that there are over 1000 chapters of spase marienz! So the SM codex has to cover over 1000 different kinds of spase marienz! Codex CSM only has to cover 1 kind (the Chaos kind). And I don't even think Eldar are a kind of spase marienz at all. Hurr!!!" - Abadabadoobaddon

"Before Eldar, all the other 4th ed codex's were pretty tough near eachother. Not anymore with these last two. Eldar are like Mike Tyson at kids boxing camp (where everyone has big ears), and Dark Angels got lost on their way to the special 40k olympics." - Voodoo Boyz
