A new(?) UK based GW supplier that ships to Japan. Their prices are slightly cheaper than GW's own. Their shipping is a flat 15 pounds so would be better for large orders.
Has anyone tried them or heard anything about them?
What do you 'orrid lot think?

Re: Geek Games
Let's test it out with a price comparison.
Empire Battalion
MRSP through GW Japan: ¥13,500
Price with Ikeda's standard 20% discount: ¥10,800
Price at Geek Games: £58.50 + £15.00 = £73.50 ⇒ ¥9,500
So, yeah, slightly cheaper than buying local for a large order. It would be more reasonable in the case of GW direct items that Ikeda and other Japanese sellers don't offer discounts on. The downsides are that you have to use a credit card or Paypal, and that their stock seems somewhat limited.

As they say in their introduction, they dont carry stock, they order it from other suppliers to get the best prices. (And also because GW wont supply them directly because they are obviously breaking GW's trade rules).
