koronuslight Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 8 minutes ago, Artiee said: I like that we are able to get access to some new LE models. But I have to say this again. These sales (3 times a year) hurt the LGC. This is less money Malifaux addicted players will spend at the LGC. With access to all the pre-release models, there is nothing left to buy at the LGC when the $60 promotion comes around. Truth. Especially when multiple people already jump on one sale for the limited edition "free" minis. You get four people each throwing money to hit the $300 mark as a group, and some people doing this multiple times, all that money isn't going to an LGS. One store I know stopped carrying Malifaux entirely, and a few others don't keep much in stock besides decks, bases and crew boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artiee Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 I understand GenCon. Few other big companies have online access to the same pre-releases as the GenCon attendees do. It is the other 2 times of the year that is hurts. Easter and Black Friday. I try hold off from buying pre-releases so I can support my LGC. I try to buy Shirts and other items the LGC does not order. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gen Con is always my big purchase for the year and I feel bad for depriving my FLGS that much business, but I've passed up purchasing things at Gen Con before and then they weren't available for another 6 months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll notice that last year's Black Friday specials have become available in the Henchmen store - these as well will do so in time. What's the Henchman store? Do you mean the LGS Promotions or is it something special? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love the models from the Guilder's store to be available for Black Friday purchases. Seriously, some people do not have flesh and blood communities or the resser skills to create one! Since it's only once a year and still costs $$, it shouldn't hurt the community scene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfpact Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 In fairness, my 'local' game shop is 200 odd miles away and I specifically called and found they don't carry Malfaux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudgeDread Posted November 18, 2016 Report Share Posted November 18, 2016 @Aaron as this will be my first time getting an alt master, will she come with his upgrade cards and totem. Or am I still going to have to buy that box to get the cards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadowopal Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Can anyone estimate the cost of shipping the posters in the states? I assume (hope) they will be shipped in poster tubes. I also assume that will add to the costs. Trying to make sure I have enough for my plans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Toboggan Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Does anyone know what time (roughly) the shop will update? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrflamme Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 I want - want - to say that I remember the store opening sometime Wednesday evening last year. Hopefully they'll be kind enough to give us a timeframe, but even then we'll get a vague estimate. Partly because they might not be sure exactly when they can pull the switch, partly because it helps stagger people and keep the store from experiencing a fullblown meltdown.

Mantis Toboggan Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 Well, looks like I'll be refreshing the store page a lot tonight. Another question, one of my friends has a voucher for the webstore, does the voucher count towards the freebie mark or subtract? As in, if he makes a cart of $150, uses the voucher and it takes him to $125, does that mean he won't get the free models? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aj46 Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 In prior years, discounts have not counted towards the spending goal for the bonus models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sillybrian Posted November 23, 2016 Report Share Posted November 23, 2016 I'm a big fan of Wyrd and am looking forward to picking some items up during this special event, but I really do have to say here... I'm not sure why anyone would advertise that the sale will be starting Wed. Nov 23 if the store is not going to be open on Wed. Nov 23 (potentially until some undisclosed time)... it seems like a rather annoying and unnecessary level of secrecy with no real benefit. If you want to wait to start the sale until the evening on Nov 23 or whatever that is perfectly fine... but just come out and say it, so folks know what to expect. Keeping the customer in suspense about when the store will be open is not really a popular business model. I guess one could hazard a guess that they are trying to limit the spike in instantaneous webstore transaction traffic, but I really find that hard to believe... besides, there are other ways of dealing with that issue that don't include misdirection. Anyways, I'm a fan and will purchase stuff when the store is up... but really, the misdirection is a bit frustrating and unnecessary, so please figure out how to not do it in the future.
