GMT newsletter says their big sale is starting October 20th, with select stuff @ around 50% off.

Unfortunately, it also mentioned setbacks that have become the norm at GMT lately:  Shipping Delays  (and misprints having to be redone but that shouldn't affect their Sale products).  So I wouldn't expect any purchased sale items to show up for awhile afterward.  :-\

Cool.

For the cost of Star Wars Armada at full retail I got a couple of expansions for it. Sweet!

Probably a good thing that I already own the ones I would want on that sale.

Although I've considered picking up Through The Ages, the new version is going to be out soon so I may as well wait.

Fantasy Flight Games is having a holiday sale.  I picked up some Wings of War out of print minis for $3 each (just ordered the same ones for $29 off some guy in Newfoundland  :tickedoff:) and some Cthulhu novels for $1 each.

Awesome. Thanks for the heads up!

The FFG games on sale aren't nearly as impressive as the sale they had last year. I grabbed Blue Max and Arcana last year, but the remaining ones aren't grabbing me. I wish they offered the full base Tide of Iron instead of the expansions, otherwise I won't be spending money over there this year.

Though if you want something I highly recommend going with them...their customer service is second to none. I had issues last year and they were super helpful.

ToI Second Wave is the base set.  Sad, though, as it likely means FFG has passed on ToI and 1A would.seem to be no more...

Agreed. However, their WH40K RPG books are $5 each. I bought about $250's worth for the cost of one, though the shipping was $16.

I can't remember if it was last year or the year before, but I managed to pick up Horus Heresy (two player version) on the cheap. Still haven't played it, of course, but I think it was ~$25.

:o  That's an AWESOME price for that game as if you try to buy it today from Amazon or eBay it's selling for well over 100.  That's for a used copy.

Yeah, I knew it was a hella good deal. It's opened but unpunched. Not sure I want to sell it, but for $100 it's tempting.

I'm trying hard to not buy the Westeros games.  That's a really good price for them...but do I really need more board games?
