Weird web page layout. There's no 'next page' button even though there are more 'deals' than fit on the page  ("Showing 30 out of 51").  ???

According to them on Twitter, there are only 30 deals, not 51. So you aren't missing anything.

Why it's claiming there are 51, I have no idea.

Copy of Carrier and Raid on St. Nazaire for sale from a private seller on CSW:

Note that he does say his copy of Carrier is "worn" so I'd inquire first.

Also note the items for auction below, a good sized ASL collection for $500 though it looks like most of the stuff is 1st edition.  Still, not a bad price if you're looking to get in and get lots of scenarios/units to play with.

Amazon seems to have a lot of Fantasy Flight games on sale right now.  Around 20 to 25% off.

I picked up Arkham Horror.  Never played it and it is a Lovecraft theme so the purchase was inevitable.  May as well do it on a sale.

Attention Canadian people! Cult of the New is having a rather insane sale for the third weekend in a row. http://www.thecultofthenew.com/active-deals/

Every four hours until Sunday at 9PM EST, another batch of 75 games will be randomly picked by their system and given an extra markdown of anywhere from 10%-30% off on top of their usual discount. If you see less than 75, that means there were a bunch of other deals which have sold out already. The fine print :

Quote1. The Cult of the New is not allowing any 'Hold Orders', 'Local Pick-Up Orders' or the combining of orders during the duration of this Promotion. (From Friday at 9pm EST til Sunday at 9pm EST)
2. The prices of the "Prolly Won't Arrive Before Xmas, But Who Knows?" Even More Insanity Sale!!! are valid only for the 4 hour window and will revert to the normal (though awesome regular pricing) at the end of the four hour window. (that includes items held in 'carts').
3. Again, stock is limited and we fully expect to sell out, so if you want something, you may want to snag it when you see it.
4. The Cult of the New reserves the right to adjust or modify any aspect of this promotion, its rules and its duration as we see fit and with no advance notice.

And EVERYTHING is up for the system to discount. Eldritch Horror came out all of 2 weeks ago. I just grabbed a copy for $32.55.

While we're waiting for the UpFront reprint  ::)

I came across two copies of the Avalon Hill edition of UF on eBay. Currently at $20 for both with two days left in the auction. I have a feeling the bidding may not get to crazy due to the sellers description of them being in poor condition. Judging from the pictures, the boxes are in a horrible state while the other components look to be in rather good shape. The cards have even been sleeved!

Shipping seems a little steep. I got my copy of Ogre shipped to me for less and that weighed as much as my 32" TV.

The shipping for this item to Canada is $28, which is about what I'd expect to pay for two bookcase games from most online retailers in the US. It still seems like a ridiculous amount to me as well. How much is shipping to your region?

Actually, I forgot to log in and, being the ebay.ca site, assumed I was in Canada as well. Once I did shipping dropped to $13.20 ($14CA) and there was no $8 import charge anymore. Looks like my eBay and eBay.ca accounts are linked as my watch list shows on both.

Did you bid already? We could always split the auction since there are two copies (assuming the components are complete) and I could parcel post you one. Would you still have to pay the import thingie?

I already own 1.5 copies of UF, but thanks for the offer. I pointed it out as the game is sought by many, with sellers often asking for an arm and a leg for a used copy. Prices for the AH release seem to have dropped somewhat since the kickstarter campaign surfaced.

Too bad you didn't say something sooner. I gave away 1st Edition copies of both Up Front and Banzai to a friend because his son was interested in WWII card games. The more tactical the better.

Good Hunting.

normally, a game-edition magazine is $35-40 or so, so it's a good bundle deal
