I've learnt that the last people to ask about GW releases are the staff at
GW stores. I had to tell the ones at the local store that Bloodbowl is being
re-released, they didn't know and wouldn't believe me until I showed them a
print out from GW's own web page.
I agree about being a friendly bunch but find them over enthusiastic myself.
I feel like I'm getting mobbed every time I walk in and consequently avoid
the experiance as much as possible.
As far as pricing goes got a huge surprise this week when I got a mail order
catalougue for DBM stuff. I am buying a full rule book, an army list book
and two full 6mm armys (French 100yrs war and Vikings) and with postage will
get change out of $70 ($47 US) and these 6mm figures are all metal ! Now
lets see if I used that same $70 on GW what could I get ? I always knew it
was bad but hadn't realised it was that bad.
Cheers
Alun
