It’s in Austin which is like in the middle of Texas.

It’s not like you can day trip to Austin from out of state like you can day trip to nottingham from elsewhere in the UK.

Frankly: I’m going to Nottingham from Scotland next month, and because I don’t have a driving licence It’ll be a three day round trip.

Even if I was a driver it’d be more practical to make it at least a two day journey.

You must be an exception, Nottingham is a day trip for 90% of the UK population, Grapevine TX is a day trip for maybe 5% of the US population. From the North East US, it is a 3.5 hr plane ride, or 3-day drive (each way).

Grapevine, TX, is as far from Houston & Austin as Glasgow, Edinburgh or Plymouth are from Nottingham.

So, 3-4 hours there, an hour to get out of the DFW airport (or more) half an hour there and back, and then another hour to get back into the DFW airport, and then 3-4 hours home. Still sounds like a hotel stay, particularly if you don't want to ride the red eye home.

And, of course, will that save on what you'd have to pay for in postage + "fees" if you just order it direct?

If it's to buy forgeworld, the fuel costs probably make Scotland to Nottingham inefficient if nothing else.

There are more people who live in London alone than Scotland, yes. Scotland is roughly 7.5% of the total population.

Which is why my example of the difficulty of “just making a day trip” even in a much smaller country is relevant to the absurdity of just making a day trip to a specific Texan town.

It may be a day trip to most of the UK but that would still involve 3+ hours of travel each way for most, it vcan take that long just from london to nottingham.

Hell, i live 30 miles away from Nottingham, and it can still take the best part of an hour and a half to get there.

Certainly far more convenient ordering online.

Can take 30-40 minutes just to get across Nottingham some days in car ..... the tram takes over an hour to go one side to the other.......

FW does need to sort its postage out as if they were an eBay seller charging those prices they'd be getting hammered on feedback.

Grapevine, TX is a 24 hour drive from NYC and a 25 hour drive from San Francisco. 3 hours is a day trip. But, it's a 25 min drive for me.

I used to wake up Friday mornings hoping that the House Vyronii decals would be released. Now I wake up Friday morning dreading what will be put on LCTB this week...

I don’t really resent FW for doing this - they’re a company and have to manage inventory. I do resent the lack of communication on their end. When is this paring down of kits going to end? Can you just list them all at once, but give it a 2-month order period so people can save up and order as needed?

Well, we missed the 2 new small bundles up:

https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-GB/Secutarii-Hoplites-Squad-2018
https://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-GB/Secutarii-Peltasts-Squad-2018

Resin upgrades with the skitarii plastics - saving about £2:50p. Approximate 5% saving, slightly less than the usual Forgeworld 12% bundle saving.

What was it that needed to be fixed? I don't recall much from the initial draft of their rules.
