A thread came up on WargamerAU recently with someone asking where they should buy their models now that the overseas stores have locked us away from fair pricing. The discussion devolved into a more general discussion about what we should be doing about buying models in general. I made a post that seemed to resonate with a few other posters, so I thought I'd repost it here for the blogging crew to ponder:
DON'T buy from GW
DON'T buy GW models from your FLGS
DO support your local FLGS by buying non-GW products. Now is the time to replace your green sheet and books with proper terrain. Or get into Flames of War.
DO buy second hand rather than new. Sell those minis you will never finish, so that others can avoid buying GW too.
DON'T introduce others to the GW hobby. Point them to other systems.
DON'T be afraid to flex our collective consumer muscle.
Good idea, i don't introduce people to GW anymore> I tell them about dystopian wars which is waaaayyy cheaper and still has a pretty cool atmosphere to it
ReplyDeleteI've seen people playing it at my FLGS, where it is pretty popular.
ReplyDeleteAt the moment I'm most interested in FOW and Warpath.
