Alrighty gang. We at TheWarStore need your solid input. We have evaluated several lines (the process is ongoing so the list will be added to if you don't see your request here at this time).

We need to know if you and/or your gaming buddies will buy the following lines. We have a limited amount of inventory space and these lines will be a substantial investment in space, employee time, and of course money.

Here are the lines that we are considering adding or restocking. We want to know that you will purchase these and not just yeah -- get these they look great -- I might add them later to my mountain of unpainted lead -- I'm looking at all the eye candy on Neal's site. We need to get a solid number of people that are interested in these lines.

Mongoose Publishing Babylon 5
Helldorado
Dark Realm 6mm Fantasy Figures
Urban Mammoth Metropolis


I will be keeping track of the answers and will post the results next Friday.

Thanks so much.

That's very good. Perhaps we'll eventually get Hell Dorado stuff at reasonable prices if there's more than one retailer over the whole US...

[Larkin Vain]

Yep. I hoping that's what will happen. This might break my self imposed ban to not buy anything until an official English release.

[Larkin Vain]

Looks like we have a winner!

And the winners are Helldorado and DRM 6mm.

awesome!  Hopefully that'll either make them cheaper by the Warstore or at least make Fantization creep their prices on them down just a tad.

i doubt they will be any cheaper they are pricey as hell to import considering the craptastic exchange rate ATM.

I haven't bought anything past a starter box and won't until they actually release the game in english (cards and rules).  My gaming group feels the same way.  We all agree that the game is awesome looking though.

The conversion rate shouldn't matter as much as it looks from Fantization prices. 20.6% of the tag in euros is VAT that shouldn't appear on US$ prices, and that largely covers shipping. Either Fantization got a funky deal with Asmodée, or they make us pay a premium since they are the only convenient way to get the stuff in North America. In both cases, having another source to get the figures will give both store an incentive to find a way to propose them at reasonable prices (which is far from being the case right now).
