mantic has 50% off Deadzone and Loka

I see they are still working hard to improve their relationship with retailers.

Let's not pretend anyone is buying Loka or Deadzone at retailers

Okay then, let's not pretend anyone buys Mantic at retailers.

**GrimDork**

I think with DZ2 around the corner sometime in 2016, this can safely be called "clearance stock"...

A shame they only have 10%. I didn't have the cash when they had their 20% Halloween sale. I was hoping to grab some stuff, but 10% isn't enough to bother with when there's so much out there right now.

**BobtheInquisitor**

Isn't it impolite for Mantic to clear out their stock at lower prices than their retailer customers can clear it out at?

**Azazelx**

Black Friday is an excuse from heaven to clearance stuff. Retailers might not like it, but they don't stop stocking Warlord when they have 50% off sprues...

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

Well Tuesdays BF order from Wayland Games arrived today which I feel is pretty impressive

**Ibis**

Any other UK retailers doing Black Friday stuff? Wayland and Darksphere's haven't really caught my interest given the dearth of Infinity and Malifaux available...

I understand that Wayland did have some DZC at 40% off though? Shame I missed that one! Dark Sphere's 30% off is pretty tasty though.

**OrlandotheTechnicoloured**

Element games have thrown some more stuff into their clearance sections

http://elementgames.co.uk/clearance-sale

and various small UK based ranges are having sales mentioned earlier in the thread

I can tell you right now that it's ridiculously expensive to ship large amounts of foam. For many years, the major carriers charge either weight based, or "fake weight" called "dimensional weight" where the dimensions of the box are calculated and a fake weight created based on the size - and whichever is higher, the actual weight, or the fake weight, is what is charged. I write shipping software and one of my clients sends gallery wraps up to 4' wide - and while the box it's in may weigh a total of 4 or 5 lbs, they are charged for something like 30 lbs because the dimensions are over x number of feet.

And yet there are plenty of stores on the internet that aren't the actual manufacturer who manage to ship for free or for set amount ($5-$10). While I understand there may be some costs higher than what we see to ship I don't like the way Battlefoam handles shipping so I won't purchase from them.

**RiTides**

Speaking of foam - is there any store with a sale going on that carries KR Multicases? I want to try out their softer foam but can't find a place to get them (Warstore / Miniature Market don't seem to carry the their foam).

I can confirm it works on preorders too.

Not that I've seen. MM used to carry their foam, but looks like they just carry some X-Wing foam trays now. I prefer their foam to the harder battlefoam personally as it's less harsh on metal spear shafts and such, but that didn't stop me from ordering 2 of the Merc Bag standard loadouts from BF today at 60% off.

From KR, orders over $110 ship for free, so you can get a cardboard double-case (up to 400 standard size minis) shipped for $119.99 over from the UK.

Because they're eating the shipping cost. Battlefoam's cart though is pretty intelligent and if you're placing a large order (for example, today) it's often better to jiggle around into separate orders to get separate shipments and pay less overall in shipping.

Well other than Kings of War rulebooks, my FLGS can't keep them in stock and there's a pile of instore preorders for Uncharted Empires

Judgedoug, do they discount it at all? If not and it still sells like that... I don't know. I thought I understood how the world works.

If you live near the west coast of the US and are willing to drive up to Vancouver, there's an outfit right by the airport that carries KR. Everything in the store (other than super-cheap red tag clearance) should be 25% off on Black Friday (weekend) and Boxing Day (weekend), and you have a crazy strong US Dollar (I think 1.33), making the actual price you pay in USD spectacular. Most of the CAD MSRPs are based on about 1.15-1.20%, so that's like an effective discount of 35% from USD MSRP.

**Resina Planet**

We are still having customers buying so we have decided to extend our black friday to saturday.... Red Saturday???

BF was piss poor in the UK, I didn't spend a penny despite being ready with my credit card. Missed the Dark Sphere USAriadna deal and that was BF over really. Wayland have an Infinity sale on at 5pm Saturday but as they are only putting one item on sale I'm not holding my breath. Really disappointing considering all of the deals in the US, was expecting much more.

Spending $100 gives you a 10% off coupon in-store, and they're always generous with little discounts. But Kings of War rulebooks have exploded. They are one of three FLGS in town, and the only one stocking KoW. It also helps that I ran a demo and that was well-attended (and I'm gonna start playing in store occasionally too to garner interest)

Agreed, however if you're into 15/20mm World War 2 then Battlefront and Plastic Soldier Company have some really good deals on over the weekend! They've been the only thing to catch my eye that I hadn't missed out on already

**BobtheInquisitor**

Brookhurst Hobbies' BF sale is over, but it looks like they just put a bunch of stuff on general clearance, such as DnD Attack Wing and Heroclix at around 40-50% off, and AT-43 at MM prices or less. The TacArms and STAR troops were a few dollars cheaper. They still have some Therians, UNA and Red Blok vehicles, as well as far too many Karmans.

If you don't want to spend $30 on bearded tanks, this is a great opportunity to spend $20 for far superior walking tanks.

Was it in-store only? I don't see any online AT-43 stuff.

They were on a table in the back, so yes? BH just expanded their premises and dug a lot out of stuff from storage to fill up their old game tables with clearance. Is there anything in particular you were looking for? They also have some Starship Troopers and DUST stuff, but those aren't discounted.
