A Couple of Bargains for UK F:ATies

Online store Boardgameguru has Marvel Heroes for £20 and Warrior Knights for £22, as well as BSG:Pegasus for £25 - they have a flat £6 shipping (for the UK) with a bit of discount as your order grows, so poke around and see what else you can add to your order. Annoyingly I picked up WK off ebay last month for about the same price.
And if you get Warrior Knights then you can get the Crown & Glory expansion from IGUK for £11.50 like I did.

Also spotted:
- War of the Ring for £33.50 delivered from Amazon UK.
- Talisman Dungeon expansion for £20.36 delivered worldwide.
- Arkham Horror: The King in Yellow £13.36 delivered worldwide.

I was really hoping the book depository was going to get ME Quest. In fact, I was semi-relying on it. But they don't seem to be getting in any new stock

Much as I like boardgameguru - and it does tend to be the cheapest site for most UK board game orders - I wouldn't call the price on Pegasus a "bargain" it's only a quid or two cheaper than most other outlets.

It is good if you have a big order and then the postage becomes negligible (we ordered 4 copies plus another game), so I added it on after the two bargains at the start of the post ;-p

Yeah - looks like the Book Depository has run it's course on FFG new-release specials. I picked up Arkham and BSG cheap their last year so I can't complain.

Is boardgameguru the best online game shop in England? What other shops would you recommend? My brother's family is in London and my 3-year old niece's birthday is coming up. I was thinking of getting a game shipped to her.

Yep, go with boardgameguru. The owner is a really nice guy as well - I've gamed with him.

Other places worth shopping around are www.boardgameclub.co.uk (although it has a £50 minimum order limit) and www.gameslore.co.uk - I don't think I've ever seen a game in the UK that didn't turn out to be cheapest on one of those sites.

And check www.iguk.co.uk if just after the one game as they seem to have cheaper shipping for single games.

yeah, if you are not a BGG style weirdo who purchases £200 of games at a time, then iguk probably wins every time due to their free shipping regardless of how much you are buying.

Thanks!

So has anyone bought Warrior Knights, Marvel Heroes or War of the Ring yet - great prices for them ?

New one spotted on ebay at BGG - Starcraft for £24.99 delivered in the UK.

This is for the CLIC charity (children with cancer) and some benefactor has donated a dozen or so new copies of Starcraft. I contacted them and had an email back saying I could pay by cheque as well as Paypal, or also by creditcard if I wanted by phoning them (which I have done). Anyone need to buy by creditcard PM me and I will send you the phone number, or just contact them via eBay.

PS They're in Bristol, so anyone local could probably pick it up and save them the psotage.

And, at last, MEQ makes it to The Book Depository: MEQ at TBD . £38.50 delivered.

Thanks!!!

AAARGH! And just the other day I was congratulating myself on having finished buying games for the year.

It's not even worth pretending I'm going to be able to resist buying these.

Well I've just lost my job but I had the credit card out and Starcraft ordered quicker than you could say dole bludger ! Plus it gives you an excuse to drive into Bristol if you feel like saving the charity a courier fee
