Spikey Bits after-Xmas sale: http://blog.spikeybits.com/2013/12/dont-miss-our-holiday-sale-starting-dec.html

Mantic has been talking about a sale starting boxing day.

from FRPGAMES

Hi Doug,

I am sorry, but this is not correct. We do not have any plans for the end of year sale like last year, instead we have a daily or weekly email notification on new clearance sales - from this list, we will be letting people know when we do extra sales promotions like the end of year sale.

Amazon must have them seized by the base of their metaphorical snarglies. That's the only reason I can think of for shirking the potential interest that holiday sales bring.

Or maybe MM's CEO has been abusing the power of his hypno-ray?

Darn it - that really sucks. I picked up a good bit of stuff last year during the sale and was looking forward to doing it again this year. (Where I'd hopefully have known about the sale sooner, and gotten to it before more of the good stuff was gone). I had a good 10 blisters of clearance stuff already picked out and waiting to pull the trigger on it.

Any suggestions of what to pick up at FRPGames? I don't need more miniatures and I think I have enough boardgames. I saw Race for the Galaxy :Alien Artifacts at a good price at FRP Games, but would like to find more great bargains. Or just post whatever you bought there. Thanks!

I suggest you shop from a store that has better prices than FRP.

FRPGames excels at sale/clearance items. I have gotten an absurd amount of stuff at 50%, 75%, and 90% off.

Left4Dead2 is currently free on Steam.

The War Store is additional 5% off til the 2nd of January. Only issue is the coupon code isn't working. Supposed to be Back to Work!

Has anyone else tried this and got it to work. (Everything is a total of 30% off by the way with the coupon code)

His wasn't starting till the 27th I believe.

If the discount is 25% with an additional 5%, that isn't 30% off. It's 28.75% off.

Spikey Bits needs to update it's cart. Being taken to your cart everytime you add an item is painful.

Looks like this is the Mantic boxing day sale http://www.manticgames.com/mantic-shop/sale.html

Probably won't be getting anything, but the prices look fairly reasonable?

Yep! The $145 undead legion looks great, free shipping over $75. 149 miniatures. Not as good as some KS pledges I have, but darn good for online, and looks like a good set for beginners.

Spent *enough* holiday money this year, but if they have something that good next year, it's that and a Crazy Box and fewer KS. (: Some Crazy Box reviews said no bases come with them, so time to start corking!

OT: Right Stuf just started their "End of Year" Clearance sale. 10% off in-stock titles! Free domestic shipping over $49. Ends January 5th. Prices a little under Amazon and no taxes outside Iowa. Help 'em reduce their Year-End Inventory so they reduce their taxes!

Confirm no bases. My SciFi gets clear acrylic anyway and fantasy likes multi basing.

Grumble, tweaked contents after I have already bought 3 boxes, bah!

I saw that. And after I've already got 2 anne maries too. Oh well, I got two mechs, I just simply can not complain about that.

tweaked contents?

Probably like how they put 'under new management' on the sign for a fast food chain restaurant that's had sucky service or bad practices lately. It likely isn't a substantial change at all, but might give someone on the fence a push to buy it, or get another in hopes of different contents. I'd be interested if I *knew* i could get some fantasy orcs or a different dreadball mvp than the void sirens guard again.

Right but where does it say it's got tweaked contents?

In the email mantic sent round about the sale

"Packed full of goodies (the contents of which have now been tweaked!) the Crazy box is packed full of models at a superb discount - ideal for getting to know our ranges, getting some bits for your bitz box or getting a whole load of miniatures at a ludicrous price! Get two and qualify for free shipping to the UK and Europe"

(but no info on what has changed with the tweek)

Ah cool thanks. The site doesn't indicate that info. I wonder what changed?
