I really like that Reva model, but not 150 dollars like.

I'm bummed there's nothing really new outside of her either for this sale.

From the sound of thing, they aren't going to have The Other Side for sale on the site either. Lame. I'd love to pick up a few of the kits once they're out in the wild.

My FLG mats were probably the star of my Black Friday shopping last year, amazing deals on them. I too would love a couple KT mats. Mats By Mars has some, but I can't really dig up what they're doing for Black Friday. That and I think the mats are vinyl rather than neoprene, and seeing as I have some MBM mats and don't really love them, I'll probably keep looking for lil' mousepad mats.

There are a few things I'd like for TOS as well, but I'm not seeing anything but preorders across web stores. Also I'll note that despite the influx of listings on eBay following the KS deliverers, I'm not seeing those any more either - not saying Wyrd pulled them per se, they could just have been way popular among those who didn't want to pledge and then wait forever

If GW does a Black Friday sale like they did a couple years ago, I'm doomed. The Buy 2 Get 1 Free Mumakil deal almost meant that I had like 8 mumaks and I'm still mad I didn't buy the Champions of Erebor discounted collection.

**BobtheInquisitor**

How did you get 8 mumaks by buying packs of 3?

I admit that question crossed my mind as well

**Nostromodamus**

Maybe he already had 2?

I will start by saying I do work for Battle Foam for full transparency, and wanted to shed some light on your past experience as well as answer any questions or concerns about this Black Friday sale and anything going forward for that matter. First, I am fairly new to Battle Foam as I started this past January, but can explain a little on the issue you experienced. Now you did mention your experience was from a few ears ago, and I can say we changed a lot even from Black Friday 2017. I don't want to make excuses for the past, but I do want to apologize for the experience that you had that made you feel second string to post-sale, full-price customers. I can say we do not prioritize post sale customers over non-sale. It is just certain orders require more time, especially custom, and some custom is much longer than others. Either way, it comes down to how our customers feel and interpret our product and service, and obviously your experience wasn't good, so again, our apologies.

Now, for this year, I can say we have new processes in place that will just make everything go by a LOT faster. Will we have orders from the Black Friday Sale in February still? I will be very disappointed if that is the case. Even January is worse than we would want, even for custom orders. We will be doing everything in our power to get every order out as quickly and as accurately as possible. I personally feel anyone who places an order and is a part or becomes a part of the Battle Foam Family is supremely important. Whether it is a $10 bag strap or a $1000 custom order, we try to take care of everyone on equal footing. Now this all sounds great on a forum, but actions speak louder than words. I can only prove our mission every day. I will make myself available to anyone at billy@battlefoam.com and our Facebook page to answer any questions or concerns.

I appreciate you making an account here and posting a response. As I said and you quoted, my experiences are both from a few years ago but were echoed by others in that thread so hopefully things have changed for the better since. As a note, I've been very pleased with my purchases and the delay was the only part of the transaction that I wasn't happy with.

Gamecraft Miniatures is having a 20% off sale. They have a good range of things at different scales.

I personally picked up their 28mm ruined tank factory that I’ve had my eye on for a couple of months

Er.. they don't sell giraffes either, so it's not really beneficial if you're looking for one.

The thread isn't GW only, neither is it solely for US residents.

They don't sell giraffes? Disgraceful.

As if the community needed another reason to dislike Wayland...

**lord_blackfang**

Deep Cut Studio will have mats up to 50% off starting Friday.

EDIT: Only on a couple of 3x3 mats with preprinted Malifaux or Guildball zones. Normal stuff is just 10% off.

**ingtaer**

Shapeways is apparently running a 15% off printing your own designs starting in a couple of days.

**Monkeysloth**

Mierce is having a 30% off sale.

I was just kicking around trying to find confirmation of this, saw the tweet from last year that was the same and got my hopes up.

Annnnd just found the newsletter from ~20 min ago

Game on

Just as a heads up, you have to use it in the app to get the discount.

Though I managed to get a Gates of Antares Freeborn Attack Skimmer for $14, when it's regularly $29. I'd call that a pretty good deal.

**Mc Devil**

Friday will be good time if somebody wants to jump into Kingdom Death universe. Core and expansions and white boxes should have some good prices.
Raging Heroes & Aeon Trespass plan some sales to.

Wayland eh last place on earth when I buy anything

GW absolutely does not do black friday sales, they havent done so for the past 15 years Ive been in the hobby and there are zero rumblings of them starting now. Any claim of them doing black friday deals in the past few years is the result of a faulty memory.

They have done though. 100%. Perhaps UK GW only, but they have done Black Friday the past few years. Not very well, I'll grant you.

Prodos are 35% off plus each order has a limited edition model (pick which one at checkout).

yeah they've done several in the USA. They had a HUGE one in 2015.

I'm getting flashbacks of not actually receiving anything that I ordered during Black Friday last year...

That being said I used that eBay app coupon to pick up Blackstone Fortress for $108. Good looking out!

Good saving, though can you see what the Lim Ed models are, or only if you go through checkout?

Also I bet their UK shipping isn’t the best..

Those "Black Friday deals" were basically the christmas/holiday bundles which are releasing on December 1st this year, the difference is that now they have bespoke packaging and a standardized price point nowadays. Retailers were even able to order those packages (my FLGS had one of them for months, it was a cardboard box with a sticker on it showing an image of the kits contained inside, when you opened the box you were met by the actual kits in their individual packaging)

Warstore Black Friday sale is available to newsletter subscribers.

And it's complete trash.

5% off with coupon (woo), free shipping on $100/$120 orders (depending on product) which other online retailers offer all fething year for a lower threshold and the free stuff is random now instead of being able to choose.

Quickest pass of the year from me.

**Monkeysloth**

It's been that the past few years. Sometimes there's something good but generally their best bargains are around gencon.

**BobtheInquisitor**

It's depressing watching the War Store slide into irrelevancy.

Shove things in the cart and you can see the options at checkout, no need to sign in. Shipping was £5 internal UK for the six boxes I ordered last night. I think I need a second order... I picked up the USCM Sergeant with shotgun last night, but now want either the jungle hunter predator or the valentines 2017 predator (I dislike how the non-limited edition predators are all in action poses whereas those limited edition ones are in a much more static, hunter style poses).

**Malkyr**

Bah I missed the Ebay coupon. Anyone know if they usually do another on Black Friday/Cyber Monday, or just in general how often they happen?

**OneManNoodles**

Ziterdies has a "20% Discount on everything!" using the code: " Happy Friday "

Multiverse Gaming has a 15% off discount using the code: " BlackFriday2018 "

Fenryll has 30 % off accross the site using the code: " BLACK FRIDAY "

Mini Monsters , 20% off using the code: " FRIDAY "

Also Gripping Beast has a sale coming up at sometime.

The above are all EU based.

Edit:
Green Stuff World now has 15% off using the code: " Friday ", but I think it requires a minimum order of €50

**Sunno**

Privateer Press are having a Black Friday “benefits” deal. https://store.privateerpress.com/

1 - Spend $50 and get free domestic shipping and $5 off
2 - Spend $100 and get free domestic shipping, a pair of Iron Kingdom patches (value $9.99) and $15 off
3 - Spend $150 and get free domestic shipping, a free Privateer Pin (value $6.99 or higher) and $25 off
4 - Spend $255+ and get free domestic shipping, 2 IK patches, a Privateer Pin, a free Saxon Orrik mini and $40 off

They are also doing another round of Mystery Boxes. $124.99 box containing over $400 of minis. Each Grab Bag is guaranteed to come with at least 1 huge-based model (A Colossal, Gargantuan or Battle Engine)

Sadly, UK/EU will still get hammered with import taxes etc. But many of the UK online store have Black Friday deals
