As I've been looking around this year for Miniature sales.
I saw that Privateer Press is having a sale for Black Friday & Cyber Monday. [http://privateerpress.com/black-friday-and-cyber-monday-sales (Please Remove if not allowed)
I haven't seen anything about any other companies having such sales this year, unless I haven't been looking hard enough.
I have searched the forums, and haven't found anything other than the Privateer Press for this year, 2013.
I figure this could help a lot of people see what are good deals this year.
Thanks!

Wyrd usually has some limited edition models available, as well as some preordered kits (I'd expect all the kits for up to January's release to be available).

The Warstore always has some nice sales for Black Friday too.

Battleroadhobbies.com is having a 30% off sale from Weds to Monday. Just use the code BF2013.

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!

Not really :-\ Wyrd's postage has always been kind of high even here in the US, and the changes to shipping costs earlier in the year kind of screwed it up even more, though they are not alone with shipping woes.

Though if you buy enough, it might not seem like all that much.

Re: postage to the UK.

The cost for US-UK postage has got horrendous in the last 12 months. When Miniature Market had a special on B Wings a few weeks ago, I roped in all my X Wing playing buddies I could contact and we shared the postage, made it not that different to average UK shipping when shared per head.

I just charge $5 and eat the rest of the cost. Any good business worth it's salt will do that. Personally I just make it up on the volume.

Good to know, albeit a dozen B Wings shipped to the UK, already marked down by ~40% would have been no fun to eat!

Armorcast has a sale going on, 10% off for orders of $25-49.99, 15% for $50 - 99.99 and 20% off for $100 or more. If only they'd restock some of their brick buildings. Still good terrain at good prices.

http://armorcast.com/

Wyrd always does some kind of sale as well. But IMO its only particularly interesting for exclusives, since you can normally find cheaper deals online.

The only things you want to order directly from Wyrd are "exclusive" or limited edition stuff. Otherwise, use a distributor in the UK. Also, check eBay to see if price/shipping of auctions are cheaper than what Wyrd offers.

EDIT: I just got the "sale" email. Details posted in Dakka's Wyrd subforum: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/565303.page

Truthfully England isn't the bad one to ship to Australia is cost wise and my personal take is if I make 5% on an international then that's more then I had. Oh and to stay on topic I believe the Warstore is having their annual sale as well. Usually it's an additional 5% to their discount.

I wouldn't expect it. MAYBE on the Warfare books, but the backstock of minis, iirc, was sold to Battlefront, as a way of keeping continuity of products.

I'd steer clear of them until they get thir act straight. I've seen a lot of complaints lately about armorcast with orders taking months to arrive for stuff listed as in stock and no communication co Inge out o them by email or website. They have great stuff, but if they can't get their act together I'm more than concerned.

Miniature Market's sale has already started, just FYI!

Unfortunately, their game color vallejo paint set didn't go on sale, but I ordered it anyway- for some reason it's MUCH less than the Warstore's price. Maybe the vials are smaller, even though it has the same product code? Either way, less $$$ is good this time of year...

Their model color vallejo suitcase set is on sale for only $155 ($30 off their normal price, which is already very good) with free UPS shipping in the US.
