Third offensive UK retailers

Shae Konnit, LvL Up, Firestorm, and Ibuywargames all have it up.

 

These are all stores that run regular events and actively support the game too, so money spent there is money spent well (along with buying from @ijw :D)

 

One billion times what Colbrook said. Also, Ibuywargames are running a promo for the book, pre-order from them and you get the chance to win a Harder and Steenbeck Infinity airbrush!

 

For what it's worth, Wayland Games are also taking pre-orders.

 

For those that like an element of mystery with their orders

 

The mystery of whether you will get everything you ordered?

 

Quite so. Along with the added intrigue of when you may receive your randomly selected items or indeed if you will receive anything at all.

 

Funny story about Wayland. I once ordered a set of brushes and minis from them. 2 months later my order hasn't shipped, but being optimistic I made a new order for a couple of minis. Five minutes later, I got emails that both orders were shipped (separate emails for both of course). Coincidence?

 

Wayland are a group of clowns, why people give them money I will never know.

 

Because they are sufficiently large with a sufficiently broad selection to generate a large presence and high hit-rate for online searches. Additionally, they maintain a large enough satisfied customer followers so that they are first in mind for ordering stuff that they don't need to rely on new customers only. The broad selection also means that you can order everything you need from one place instead of hunting around and ordering from several places.

Even if a store is utter shite it'll generate enough income to merit it's continued existence. It's like I will never on a personal level understand why Media Markt is still in business (they don't even have a serviceable homepage!), but apparently enough people actually buy stuff from there that their owners continue to think the losses the chain generates in the Nordics are worth it long term.

 

I've never heard of Media Markt and checked the website and oh god my eyes

This is my favourite wargaming model website: http://www.peterpig.co.uk/

 

That's almost as colourful as their trade stand at shows!

 

Peter Pig is literally art in website form. I unironically love it and showing it to people.

 

I've had more good experiences with orders than bad with Wayland, but I absolutely agree that that is a poor review of them at best. Goblin Gaming also have pre-orders up (for Third Offensive at least, not the other November releases), and they've always been good with order fulfilment and communication, in my experience.

 

Goblin is where I source my Infinity stuff these days.

 

I clicked on an 'x' floating haphazardly in a box and it took me somewhere. Is this real life?

 

The check out screen is a different website

 

I find shaekonnitgames.com to be a great UK retailer. Very responsive and helpful. Also runs split box deals for Infinity.
