I'm happy if they move the bunker to Laurel, much closer to Fort Meade next time I'm up that way!

As for getting Forgeworld goodies from the Memphis bunker, if it's at all like Glen Burnie then it's hit and miss on what they have. The manager at one point told me it was better to just order it from the FW site.

according to local staff, they are working on making FW more accessible by allowing all (GW) stores to order from FW.

also, if I remember correctly, the group that hangs at the Glen Burnie bunker do a monthly FW order. the bunker staff can probably help you get in touch with the correct people.

Back in my day, after walking up hill both ways, I could go to the Glen Burnie store and walk out with all the Forgeworld, Direct Only, and bits I could carry.

I hope that the bunker doesn't end up in Laurel. If they want it between the beltways, I'd hope for something in the BWI blob.

Surely they have a US legal department, that's gotta take up a fair bit of room.

No love there, why have legal teams in every business when they can have local businesses keep attorneys on retainer? You would have to be a significantly larger company to justify having a legal team on staff 100% of the time. Bonus perk is that most sorts of legal papers get filed in UK courts, so it is easier to just choose to settle rather than going to court overseas.
