Should there be anything on that page beyond a "Product not found" sign?

Product not found. I thought you were saying they had taken the GW products off their site? Hence giving them the finger. :?:

Those look pretty nice actually.
I still despise Chapter House though. Stealing ideas from a bunch of theiving scumbags does not make you any less of a theiving scumbag yourself. :D
Still, they are sure to sell a bunch regardless.

have to agree with Prim on this one. Just cos GW are moneygrabbing bastards doesnt make a space marine any less their property. One of the greatest things Jes Goodwin ever did was design the marines (who, lets face it, are pretty goddam iconic. you dont get much iconic-er, really) and for CHS to think it's ok to just waltz in and copy them is asshattery in every way. Yes, GW charge a lot of money for a space marine, but at least it's their space marine. CHS may charge less money, but they do it for stolen goods. That aint ok.

It's not like I can justify walking up to some rich bloke's house, nicking his car and flogging it on the 2nd hand market by saying "well, he's an ass, isnt he? He made all his money from ripping people off." It's still his car, not mine, and I have no right to it.
