How to Compare Wargaming Prices - Use Megaminis.co.uk Price Comparison

Jumping from website to website looking for the best deal can be a time consuming task, so let us do the work for you. We'll trawl the net for the prices offered by different online retailers for hundreds of items, so that you can compare them to see where you can get a great deal. Using our price comparison website can help you to save time and money when shopping online.

Once you have found the item you are looking for, click on it and you will be shown a list of online retailers selling the item includng the price the retailer is selling the product for. In order to purchase the item, click on the ‘Buy It Now’ button next to the desired shop.

Comparing Prices - Traditional vs. Online Shopping

Online stores are often able to offer products at lower prices than traditional shopping outlets because a website doesn't have the same overhead costs as a chain of shops. High rents and rates in prime shopping locations, staff salaries and utility costs mean that very often traditional shopping outlets can't compete with online prices. Many online stores are also able to buy goods in bulk, meaning that they get cheaper prices from suppliers, and they can then pass these savings on to their customers.

If you're the type of person who likes to see products before buying them, this doesn't mean that online shopping isn't for you - you can browse in your high street to find the product that you like, but you can then make a note of the product name and model number and compare prices for that product online to see if you can get a better deal from an online retailer.

Check Hidden Costs When You Compare Prices Online

When you compare prices online, check that you're comparing like with like - make sure that you know exactly what you'll be paying. Sometimes the deal that initially looks the best might not be when you take into account all the charges that apply.

If you're ordering goods from the UK, check that VAT has been added to the price. If the VAT hasn't been added, you can be given the impression that an item is cheaper than it actually is.
If you're buying from a foreign website, check to see whether there are import duties that need to be added to the price. These vary from country to country, and if these haven't been included in the price, the total cost could be a lot higher than you expected.

You'll also need to take postage and packaging charges into account when you compare prices between sites. Some retailers offer products at a heavily discounted price, but charge more for sending items through the post. However, other sites offer free postage and packaging on certain products or to certain locations and this can mean that the total cost of your goods will be much cheaper.

If the site that you're considering ordering from offers free delivery, it's worth checking to see what services you get if you pay a little extra for delivery.

Reputable online stores will have a clear and fair charging system for packaging and posting different sized goods.

Look for Special Offers and Package Deals

When you're comparing prices between different online retailers, make sure that you look out for special offers, as you might be able to save even more money.

Some online stores offer great package deals, where if you buy a certain combination of products, you'll get a better deal. You can also sometimes get accessories free of charge when buying a certain product, and some companies offer discounts to customers who are 'members' of their site.

Most online stores have special offers sections on their sites, where you'll find goods at reduced prices, and don't forget that online stores have 'sales' in exactly the same way as high street stores.

Are Squats on their way back?

Space Hulk Shortages

We are currently in the process of informing our customers that we are unable to supply them with their pre-order of Space Hulk despite Games Workshop's trade department guarenteeing that we would recieve 15 copies...

Ramblings Of A Mad Gamer recently posted the following:

So, in all the years I’ve worked in the gaming industry, one company continues to baffle me with their marketing strategy, product support, and internal organization.

That company is Games Workshop. No other company I know of has such a disorganized, subdivided, and incomprehensible catalog of products, part codes, and ordering guidelines.

For example: I want a product I’ve seen on their website, but I want to support my FLGS. So, I print out the page, trying to be helpful, and bring it in (Chaos Land Raider:9912010201). On the GW Web store, they use a product code called their “global code”, which is completely useless to retailers. They have to open up a “translation” spreadsheet given to them by GW, find that global code, and translate it into the “trade sales code” they can use to order (Chaos Land Raider:43-17). But, that’s not all! Once a retail store gets in product, they usually update their inventory with a scanner, entering the BARCODE into their system (Chaos Land Raider:5011921942510).

Of course, after all of this translation headache, they still need to offer it back to you, retranslating the entire code path to what you’d ordered.

To make it worse, GW re-uses the “trade sales code”, so without much advance warning, the 43-17 Chaos Land Raider could suddenly become a 43-17 Chaos Smurf Champion.

So, what’s all this have to do with Space Hulk? Games Workshop also offers “ordering caps” on various “short term, limited availability” items, based on the amount of their stock you maintain. Even at the largest Stocking level, Games Workshop offered a maximum of 20 copies of Space Hulk per store. The standard stock level received only 10 copies, and the smallest level “got some if there are any left”.

Distributors were similarly limited, so stores had no avenue to receive more. With this model, Games Workshop effectively turned all the power for profit on this product to eBay. Most stores sold out of pre-orders in less than 48 hours, regardless of “level”. This model doesn’t net GW any extra money for a popular product. It doesn’t help FLGS to bring in more players, or increase their profit potential. It only helps resellers, who are already salivating at the massive profits they expect to reap for their early pre-order work.

This is what continues to frustrate me about this company…

New Space Wolves Rumours!

Plenty of Space Wolves rumours circulating the internet:

Slashgod

I asked him about Björn and the rumour about his AV14. He responded that he couldn´t tell,but Björn would be the most survivable Cybot in Game.
We also talked in general about Space Wolves and he said that Space Wolves would have extrem stats and some nice special rules but would pay with a lot of points. "You will be always outnumbered".
Logan Grimnar isn´t a fighting character,he is more like Creed, he gives you some special abilities like standing near a Long Fangs and saying you become tank hunter. He will also give even imperial guard special rules,because he is an amazing leader.
If you want a close combat monster you should choose Ragnar,he is young and berserker like.
All of the Special characters will be priced high over Gazhgul Thraka.

I also asked him about Wulfen and 13. company.
I was a little bit shocked when he said that Wulfen won´t come back as a unit. He wanted them more mysterious. You can still fill in some wulfen,but not as a unit costing 18 Points.

And last,i asked him about the Sagas. He confirmed that Sagas will give the complete army boni,not just a unit.

That´s all what i can remember, I hope GD uk will reveal more.


Zarahemna:

My brothers Njal the storm caller has granted me this vision so that you too may know the terrible might of the Space Wolves and howl as their heavy tread draws closer!

I know not of the new range of miniature representations of the sons of Russ, but I have seen the awesomeness of their almighty codex. Gather round now and listen!

Characters:

Njal Stormcaller:

Njal is back in all of his glory. The cyber raven joins him and the most easy comparison is with Tigurius, except that he wears terminator armour and carries mighty runes which blaze and improve his invulnerable save to a 4+. Truly unstoppable he remains.

A storm now covers Njal and this affects enemy shooting and combat prowess (-1 to both within 18" or something like that) and at higher levels can destroy foes and cast them around the table with it's mighty winds. Njal is the master of all six Space Wolf Psychic powers and yes, he is really expensive. Think 250+ points.

Bjorn the Fell Handed. Bjorn is incredibly strong, AV13 to the front and of course venerable. Put those two factors together and he is an almighty warrior. He has four attacks basic and is strength seven. He is also very expensive.

There is also a Telion type upgrade for the Space Wolf equivalent to scouts. This hero, more than three centuries old is the equivalent of a captain and yet with his unruly manners cannot be accepted among the battle brothers, not least because he stole one of the Chapter's thunderhawks and then crashed it during his flight. He upgrades his squad, I cannot remember how.

Battle Brothers:

All Space Wolves have counter attack and acute senses.

Wolf Guard are deceptive, they start off at a little over thirty points but they get very expensive very quickly. A wolf guard with Thunder hammer and Storm Shield weighs in at just under seventy!

There is a character with a special storm shield who can get an extra attack which represents him slapping his opponent with the shield when he charges. He also has furious charge and a thunder hammer that he can throw in a shooting attack. yes, a thrown thunder hammer. When it hits the foe there is an explosion and it reappears with a flash in his hands... Not bad eh?

Blood Claws now come in three flavours, bikers, jump packers and infantry. They remain slightly less able than regualr marines in shooting and close combat but are still really deadly...

Wulfen are gone as a unit.

There is a character who rides a Fenrisian wolf in to battle. It's a bit He-Man esque, but in a good way.

Long Fangs, Heavy Bolters for only a handful of points, you know about the same as a meltagun for regular marines... Also you can carry five heavy weapons... It's brilliant.

How much is a regular Space Wolf? xx points? Oh and you get a special weapon for free. Oh, and if you take ten you get a second special weapon for free... Ten men, and two special weapons for 150 points? Sounds good eh?

Kit? Oh yeah, every space wolf carries a chainsword, bolt pistol and boltgun. Extra attacks, I think so. You can kiss good bye to true grit though.

Oh and one last thing. Dark Angels are now not alone in being able to field Terminator only armies! SW's can field all terminator armies as one of their characters makes it possible to field T's as troops choices!
