    Default Ships and Planes for Sale

    Our FLGS is no longer carrying WoG, SoG, and A&A booster packs.

    I spoke to the owner, and I can get the following at these prices which are between 40% and 50% off MSRP. If you're interested, please respond PM me.

    I can accommodate if you purchase 5+ items. I am not set up for a shipping business, if you will, but I will find boxes and do the shipping for larger orders. You'll have to pay postage.

    As I will have this on the Anchorage, also, I will take all orders on a first-come-first-served basis based on time either by post or PM.

    Thanks Eric for posting these items and offering to accommodate folks who might be interested. I'm going to pass as I'm still trying to downsize the entire game collection. Out of curiosity is your FLGS changing focus? Are these games just of no interest locally?

    Magic and Heroclix are the words of the day at our FLGS. When he told me he was parting with SoG and WoG, I asked for how much. The prices seemed pretty good, so I said I will post and try to help out - win/win for members and him.

    Thanks for sharing the information Eric.
    The prices are good, but with shipping, the SGN's come out close to the same as the prepaid ships from CSI.
    Is the store dropping them because of poor sales, or the old wave 2 problems?

    That's real sad to hear. It doesn't bode well. And I thought they were doing good with the sales of V&C.

    This is only one store in some out of the way place called the Chicago area.

    For comparison - only one stand at Partizan (UK show on Sunday) had ANY WoW or SoG: they had about two dozen mostly wave 3/4 WoG, and 8 wave 1 and 2 SoG ships, all overpriced (I'm not paying Ł19.50 for Royal Sovereign when I can get it on Amazon for Ł2 less) in tatty boxes that they really needed to have taken better care of, with at least one broken mast (a wave 2, unsurprisingly....)

    I was not impressed (with them, more than with the lack of stock).

    Went to Little Wars in Melbourne yesterday just to have a look and one vendor had a good supply of WOG right next to a much better supply of X-Wing. No SOG at all.

    On the happier side, there have been four starter sets purchased by our club members so far in May, and we've had games three weeks on the bounce with new faces each time :D

    Last Sept at Hurricon, one vendor could not keep enough starter sets on the shelf. Sold all of them. This year in April at Recon, it looked like several starter sets sold, and there was a good turn over of wave 2 items. I was pleased to see the interest.

    Doesn't look like any ship sales here though? Only planes selling from the list.

    No problem, Bob. I'm heading to Origins, so I can ship these when I return.

    Are you going to Origins?

    Have a great time at Origins, Eric. I hope you find some time to play games outside of running SoG and WoG events?

    Thanks, Jim. This year, I have time for one non-Ares game - Hunt for Cthulhu; I believe it is a house-ruled game. Between running SoG, helping out with WoG, and volunteering at the Ares booth with SoG demos, it will be a bit busy, but fun. One day, I hope you can join us.

    Hi Eric,

    Would you ask your FLGS if he/she would pay shipping if I bought all of his listed SGN's.

    Ed, I will pick up the shipping. I owe you a ship from long back, so this is the least I can do.

    Ed, you can send me a check, made out to me. I have people buying from both collections, the store's and mine. In the end, I will cut Jamie a check for the total owed him.

    I will keep an eye on other items he is not selling, and if I think they would be of interest to anyone here or on the 'Drome, I will ask about a deal. I know he has some wargames that might not sell. I know he has had less than anticipated sales in the D&D Attack Wing sector. If it ain't Magic or Heroclix, and now DiceMasters ....

    I will add it to the ships. I was going to mail the ships tomorrow (today now that midnight has passed), so this is perfect timing. If you want me to wait another couple of days in case you want more, let me know.

    I very much doubt it Pete. This was 18 months ago, and also Eric is on extended leave for personal reasons, so you probably won't get through to him anyway.
