What I watched of this was tacky in the extreme-this is not an ad, perhaps not a paid ad (due to the background).
Unfortunately, as with most of the videos from the mini games people featuring this particular individual, I found this to be unwatchable.
I fully understand GW's position on internet retailers. They pretty much are just middle man mooches, making money off someone elses innovation in product and manufacturing. As middle men their primary concern, naturally, is their own bottom lines (perhaps, thus the unpaid ad).
GW wants to promote it's own products and is choosing to do this through it's own retail network.
Can't really fault them there.
(however, GW didn't seem to mind independents until they decided to expand/rely on it's own retail network).
It's kinda hard for me to say that; considering due to GW policies of not stocking a 'full' back catalog of Epic, nor distributing it I ended up getting most of my miniatures via Ebay.
It really didn't end up saving me much money considering the time I spent bidding/looking, and the postage fees for one small lot after another, etc. I think when all would be added up I would have probably paid the same or less if GW would at least sell a FULL range of Epic. But that isn't the case is it?
What GW can't explain away is why is Australian retail pricing nowhere close to the currency exchange rates???? They have a legit desire to be the primary distributors of their own products in a market, but why soak the Australians so bad?
Does Australia have some excessive VAT/import/dock tax that accounts for this??
