Exactly. Who cares though? AT-43 is hard plastic, non-randomised AND sculpted beautifuly! Also- fantastic rules. Seriously though- I love you Rackham

Becuae, and this is off the top of my head, the Warstore doesn't actively seek to pay the lowest wages possible, purposefully hire/exploit illegal/undocumented workers to do so, and try to drive small business's into the ground. That's just a guess.

The constant complaining about walmart revelas how elitist this board is.Yes, it is real trendy to hate walmart. But why? The poor immigrants (legal and illegal)? Do you know why they work there? Because they wre pressed ganged into it? No, because they make more at walmart than staying in their own country. Immigrants and walmart work on the same market principles. Walmart looks to pay the lowest wage. The workers seek to get the higher wage. Each is equally callous. The fact that you are so blinded to the situation says that you are either moronic are wilfully ignorant. Both options are equally pathetic. There is no question that walmart uses some bad practices. Pracices that should be punished. But to hate them so just because they follow the market is just ridiculous. Why not hate Apple for the same reason? Oh, yeah, Bono did a commercial for them so they must okay. Why not ask the people that can afford generic pharmacy options because of walmart how they feel? Why not ask the kids that get to eat because walmart accepts food stamps? Why not talk to the relatives of the illegal immigrants who's livelihood depends upon that evil walmsrt job? I guess that wouldn't be convenient to your simplistic "walmart is evil" outlook. btw, I rarely shop at walmart anymore. I can't stand the headache inducing music, television and announcements. ender502

The only analogy I can see between "The Warstore" and "Walmart" is: - Most folks that DO dislike large, national retailers like Wal-mart dislike them because they supposedly 'wipe out' local mom & pop stores who can't compete with Wal-marts large buying power.
- Most folks that DO dislike online hobby discounters similar to"The Warstore" dislike them because they take business away from local mom & pop hobby stores that give folks a place to play, and cannot compete with an online vendor with no brick and mortar business expenses.
All that said, I'm a free market guy, so if you like mom & pop specialty stores and local hobby stores to play at, buy there. If you like to get things as cheap as possible, buy at Walmart and The Warstore. Remember, every dollar you spend is a vote for the kind of world you'd like to see.

I mix up the two all the time. Probably because they're both evil.

Because they wre pressed ganged into it? No, because they make more at walmart than staying in their own country. So the working conditions of Hatian sugarcane cutters in the Dominican Republic are perfectly justifiable? Ditto with Georgian prostitutes working in Western Europe? Do you retroactively endorse the treatment of the immigrant Chinese workers during the building of the CN railway? The glass ceiling is perfectly fine, is it? Well, they signed on of their own volition, so congratulations you get the coveted Ender Gold Star of Super Approval, mister abusive employer. Walmart looks to pay the lowest wage. The workers seek to get the higher wage. Each is equally callous. Except that the workers are trying to obtain more money because they are people with needs. Or perhaps they're just a bunch of callous harpies trying to extort an additional three dollars a day as if seven bucks an hour weren't enough to feed a family or something. There is no question that walmart uses some bad practices. Pracices that should be punished. But to hate them so just because they follow the market is just ridiculous. In this case, bad practices equals policy equals, according to Walmart, following the market. Union busting is their policy. Finding ways to fire workers who become disabled is policy. Encouraging part time over full time is policy. Undercutting local businesses so that people don't have the option of working anywhere else is policy. Why not hate Apple for the same reason? Oh, yeah, Bono did a commercial for them so they must okay. Walmart has been conducting a massive PR campaign for the last few years, attempting to counteract the (well deserved) negative press they receive. Looks like you bought into their propaganda, sucker. Or perhaps you've simply read Atlas Shrugged too many times. Why am I even bothering to reply to you seriously? You obviously have no time for compassion or social justice when you're working on a time machine to transport you back to the goddamn salad days of the 1930's, you horrible anchor. Make a nice big O and get ready for piss.
