Listen, my children, as I pass onto you the truth behind Willy Wonka and his factory. For every wonka bar ever created in existance, Mr. Wonka sacraficed a single Oompa Loompa to the god of chocolate, Hearshys. Then, he drank the blood of the fallen orange men because he fed them a constant supply of sugary chocolate so they all became diabetic and had creamy, sweet-tasting blood that willy could put into each and every Wonka bar. That is the REAL story behind willy wonka's Slaughter House!

U.S IP laws, no retailer can sell GW with an online shopping cart. All of the companies in the U.S have to sell it this way.

It is a GW thing, and I really don't want to discuss it as it has nothing to do with my post about my stores opening.

It is a bizarre GW thing. You'll notice no other company has a problem with you setting up an online shopping cart, only GW, who specifically forbids it.

This may be an indelicate question, but it's one I promise is coming at you from someone: What is the incentive to order from your establishment when there are a plethora of e-tailers who offer deeper discounts and excellent service?

That is a great question, and a lot of them when you order you won't get a real person on the other end. Alot of them also don't have a turn around time as we do with their distributors so if they are out they wait 3-5 days for the restock which means you will not get it for that time plus shipping time, plus packaging and so forth. We are on par with 90% of retailers out there with online discounts, but where we excell is the customer service and the shipping. Our shipping rates are low and the free after $75.00 domestic is something you don't see too often. Also we sell things from a number of smaller companies that are just starting up, and as you will see in the comming months we will have our own miniatures lines starting to hit the shelves which will only be sold through us, and a select number of retailers. Most of all when you purchase a product from us you are purchasing a piece of us as we stand behind all of our products. We have had a number of people write us already raving about the service, and how fast we were on getting them their products. In the end it comes down to you the customer, and we know we have to compete with several other companies out there that offer bigger discounts but not the same level of service. We offer products that they don't on some levels. We offer commission painting services and sculpting as well which is something very few companies offer.

Those who purchased from us on our Black Friday sale will no doubt tell you how great their experience really was, and we know that we can count on them to come back again.

Do you offer the same discounts on all products in store that you do online?

Er, actually, do you have your Brick and Mortar location ready to go too?

Ok, slightly different question to the "why should I buy from you" question:

Why, as someone living outside of the United States, should I order from you*?




*That's not a dig or anything. I'm not trying to be insulting, just a general (and genuine) business/purchase related question.

@Cyporiean: thanks .

@H.B.M.C: Don't worry ask away, believe me I won't get offended as you want to know that you can trust somone with your money, as you worked hard for it and I agree that you deserve to know why you should spend with me. Well depending on where you are in the world can really play into this answer. Let's start with the U.K as that is an easier one to tackle. The fact that we don't charge V.A.T is a great incentive alone. Being as I was reading in either forbes, or the Wall Street Journal (can't remember off hand atm) that the tax is set to increase again in January really bumps up the rates. The 15% off you would recieve from a lot of companies is swallowed up by the tax, and then your paying shipping on top of that so in the end you pay more then retail for an item. Now for the rest of Europe currency makes it cheaper to order from us here in the U.S. You will get more for your Euro as it is stronger then the dollar and has been for years. Same with the sterling pound (I used to do a lot of stock trading and I always monitor currency values weekly).

For the rest of the world looking at our prices say in Australia, it is still cheaper to buy from us as the currency value comes into play. GW upped prices there because of the value of currency. As such the downside is you can wait up to three weeks to recieve the item, but we don't take this lightly. I know calling can be a problem for international as time differences and all so all the person has to do is email us with their request, and a paypal to invoice them at and we can handle international that way. No muss less fuss, and you still get the same treatment as I would any other customer. Doesn't matter if you spend a dollar or five thousand dollars with Battleroad Games we will always be your "Cheers"(if you don't know the refrence then ask). Just so you know we have already sent orders down to Australia and believe me their was nothing but phrase. I have to give respect to the land of my father, and grandparents.

I must say, for purely selfish reasons, you need to find a store - soon!

We had one, but contract negotiations fell through saddly. We are looking in the Waltham region area though as since Danger Planet used to be there it would be a great location to fill the void that appeared when they left.
