Subject: US discount store for BFG?
|
|

So, I'm looking to get into BFG. I checked out the prices on the UK, Canadian and US websites (I live in Canada). US prices win hands down. Does anyone know of a US-based discount retailer for BFG? I checked the Warstore, and it looks like Neal doesn't carry BFG (grrr). I know of a Canadian discount retailer ( www.gc-minis.com) that carries BFG, but even at 25% off the Canadian prices it would be more expensive than ordering direct from the US GW-online store... Ideally I'd like to find a 20% or more off discount US retailer. Anyone know of any?

chaosorc.com might have some BFG. Otherwise, check EBay and B-town.

Guinness: for those who are men of the cloth and football fans, but not necessarily in that order.
I think the lesson here is the best way to enjoy GW's games is to not use any of their rules.--Crimson Devil |

Good to know, thanks Hellfury.
I went to the Drop Zone but it didn't mention specialty games, just a blanket "GW" (so I assumed it was only Fantasy and 40k). Glad to know I'm wrong!
I wonder if the free shipping applies to Canuckistan... even if not, it'll still be cheaper than buying through GWCanada, even discounted.
There's been some stuff on Ebay and Btown, but usually painted and assembled (in which I'm not interested), or else brutal shipping charges from the UK that push them up to retail equivalent prices anyways.
Thanks guys,

It is not free to Canada, it is expensive too. More than anyone else charges.

He suggested it would be around $15 for the starter + 2 more boxes and a few blisters. Not exorbitant.
However, my reality sensor kicked back in and I realized I have neither the $$ to get into a new game right now, nor the time to paint them. I'm already in the middle of trying to get 4 armies (IG, Nids, Deathguard, Menoth) painted up, and I've got a WH army waiting too.
Maybe next year...

Great Canadian Miniatures man: http://www.gc-minis.com/ Click on catalogue and have at thee! (30% off usual GW Canadian prices!) EDIT: Sorry the 30% is for regular 40k stuff, it's 25% for Gothic, still though!

Just go to eBay, BDFg doesnt hold value, so you can pick up a LARGE fleet for little money.

It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion. By the juice of the brew my thoughts aquire speed, my mind becomes strained, the strain becomes a warning. It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion. |
