There are MANY companies that need a Stalinist purge….and most of them have nothing to do with gaming.

While GW were never my favorite – prices were always high, even as early as the late 70s/early 80s when they weren’t even synonymous with Citadel yet. their marketing strategies always somewhat overly aggressive and ‘bullying’ – something I did like a lot about them was their archive service.

You could call the Mail Order Trolls and get any figures – including very old ones – and random parts of figures – a wing here, a head there, someone’s club, someone else’s left leg – cast on demand (metal, naturally) and sold at prices that weren’t completely out of this solar system. If memory serves, that went bye-bye sometime in the early 00’s, right around the time EVERYTHING became plastic sprues……
