hmmn. If sufficiently lovely, may have to consider it. Itll come down to bling, mind you...

I won't be buying any more GW stuff, with the exception of the very occasional or one off-type character models e.g. Kheradruak. (I gave that specific example in my initial post.)

I also made it very clear that GW =/= FW. I like 40k, and want to see it do well. I do NOT want to see GW come crashing down. I do want them to change their prices and shipping policy.

FW have not raised their prices. Nor have they changed their shipping policy. I have no problem with FW. Never have done, which, again, I made clear at the time of my initial posts on the subject. I am aware that they and GW are essentially the same company, but one side of that company has consistently raised prices and also made shipping changes which offend me, and the other side has not.

Thus, I am quite happy to continue to buy from FW.

capiche?

oh, why am i so misunderstood?
