Frankly I will never buy anything local GW retail again either - or at least until they stop being so arrogant (company wise) and adopt something similar to Battlefront's international pricing policies. Perhaps it requires a change "at the top"... Tom Kirby must surely be due to kick the bucket soon?

As a company, they'll still get my money (I can't stop buying plastic crack), but retail GW stores will never see me again.Jestar Thorntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10195755910443784275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2342928539214422457.post-83751938948124876982012-03-28T06:44:29.470+13:002012-03-28T06:44:29.470+13:00Manager waxes and wanes in his support of events. ...Manager waxes and wanes in his support of events.

The local shop goes through various phases of supporting the "community" and local clubs. <br /><br />Who knows? It could all be different in a couple of months.<br /><br />That said, GW have made it clear repeatedly that veteran and tournament gamers are not a target market. And prior to the GW embargo I guess veteran/tournament gamers made it clear by their actions that the local Hobby Centre wasn't the priority supplier.<br /><br />However we are all forced to buy "local" now so I would have thought it was a relationship that had some legs.<br /><br />PeteAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13835921145774599372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2342928539214422457.post-75203450959230346232012-03-27T13:34:19.872+13:002012-03-27T13:34:19.872+13:00No, the same noticeboards are there that have alwa...No, the same noticeboards are there that have always been there.

I suspect they would still be ok with smaller stuff like fliers since they can just sit on the front desk. I guess I need to check if this is the case with the Auckland GW's.<br /><br />I'm guessing this is mostly the fault of the new paint range, the paint displays already take up a huge chunk of wall space, and the size of the range just doubled, so the small NZ GW's struggle to fit everything in.Powerguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03734811960832727828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2342928539214422457.post-35817294429237401042012-03-27T11:14:43.203+13:002012-03-27T11:14:43.203+13:00But the noticeboards were still there, just withou...But the noticeboards were still there, just without your posters.
