Hatchethead Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Oh QQ. The fact that we at home have access to GenCon stuff AT ALL is beyond the norm. I don't begrudge the attendees at least one exclusive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukrocky Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Ha. Healthcare. Give the UK 2 years and our new government will have stripped us of everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lheugast Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 i, in germany, am under the expensive but caring wings of a private health insurance... it's great, because not long ago I got my appointment with my doc immediately instead of "in 2-6 weeks" like the regulars... I still feel unsafe, because some angered regular might murder me =P as for the topic...I can only agree with HatchetHead, calm down *gets some cookies and tea* ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orboros Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 I don't want to begin with praising our social security system because it just wouldn't be fair ^^ But back to the topic : i have to say i want those teddys too but i'm sure there will be a way to get those for us "non-genconers" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChefsDad Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Im not getting into a healthcare debate...as long as I can keep my job ;-) It does indeed suck, but I really cant complain. Even with the shipping costs (reasonable for the distance), I feel like Wyrd still looks after its customers. The opportunity to get the gencon exclusives AND prereleased models has been fantastic. That said...i want a puppet teddy :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tograth Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 you must be *joking*. the socialised medical services in the EU and the UK are a joke. You go to a hospital and they overcharge, give very substandard service, and if its any way urgent, you'd better hope you dont keel over, because you'll be waiting hours to be seen. Take Ireland for instance. The doctors and nurses here are competent in the most part, i'll give them that. But you go to a hospital to be seen and you'll be waiting forever. Like, the average wait time in cork for anything other than *triage me now or im gonna be dying on you right here right now* is close to 8 hours. Longer during busy times and around holidays. You know the worst part? When folks from the states complain about the cost of medical. Sure, its expensive, but when you do a comparison, the quality of healthcare over there is not only much, much higher, you also have much more access. And its not actually more expensive than over here - you go to a doctor or hospital over in europe and you're gonna be paying almost as much immediately, and more long term, than if you were in the states. Now, the exceptions to this are in eastern europe, especially around Poland, but the prices there are coming up as well. /end rant. But yeah. Im just glad that Wyrd are letting folks order online, and even more that they extended the web order cutoff to wednesday. I'd go nuts if I had to wait till february to get my marcus fix.

Dark Alleycat Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Well,I would point out,if you feel it is really that unfair and that important to you,that you do as I am going to do,and go to gencon next year lol. Otherwise,accept that Wyrd cares for its people far more then other companies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchethead Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 What the hell is a Teddy 5 pack Each faction in Puppet Wars has a unique Teddy. I assume the 5 pack is all of 'em! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder_God Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Really, a different teddy for each faction? BTW, when will we get The Hooded Rider, Teddy, Sword Mistress Viktoria and the other figures? Hmmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
