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!

Cause virtual servers available by the hour are money well spent when compared to lost orders and good will?

Occasionally?

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

Infinity: Combined Army - Morat Aggression Forces Starter Pack
http://www.miniaturemarket.com/catalog/product/view/id/39460/s/cvb280658-0453/

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?

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.

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.

EDIT: And free Long John Silver's Ciabatta sammich with overpriced drink and side! : http://www.ljspromotions.com/free-ciabatta-jack-sandwich.html

EDIT EDIT: Funagain Games 10% off sale : https://www.funagain.com/control/rc?p=bf2014&utm_source=funagain&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=blackfriday2014&fromrd=32653

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.
